Art Shows

"If we want to understand a work of art, we should look at the time in which it was created, the circumstances that determined its style and art expression as well as the individual forces that led the artist to his form of expression." • Viktor Lowenfeld

All students have the opportunity to do well in their art classes and have their work on display. Shown below are just a few events our students are involved in throughout the school year.

Senior Art Shows: Each upper level senior art student (fine arts, photography, ceramics, graphic design, or studio art/independent study) will need to sign up with their art teacher in order to be part of the group senior art show in the spring. Students will meet with all members of the art department for quarterly portfolio reviews. Seniors will be asked to keep a working portfolio of 8-15 pieces at Octorara High School throughout the school year. Portfolios will not only be reviewed by presenters from visiting art schools, but students pursuing art will have a chance at scholarship opportunities through the scholastic art competition in December.
