Jonathan Law’s Art programs recently participated in the District Art Show at Parsons.

This show is a great opportunity to celebrate students within the district for their hard work and creativity. The District Art Show highlights art students and allows people to see the projects they have been working on all year. 

Jonathan Law Art teacher Mrs. Murphy described the importance of the District Art Show for students in Milford.

“The most important thing about the Art Show is that it showcases a wide variety of media and skill levels that students are using throughout the district, and celebrates the artists in our district,” Murphy said.

Art teacher Ms. Jessell described what factors need to be taken into consideration when submitting artwork to the show.

“Our art department offers a variety of artistic media opportunities, both 2D and 3D art forms,” Jessell said. “Therefore, it’s important to show the diversity of what our art program offers”.

Junior Zyida Martin explained her feelings about being invited to the District Art Show. 

“The Art Show is like a boost of confidence for students who get in and another way to be proud of their work,” Martin said. “It’s a nice way to connect with others and be seen.”

Freshman Cali Findorak loved reconnecting with former art teachers from elementary and middle school.

“My favorite part of the experience was seeing how talented so many of my peers are, and also seeing some of my former art teachers from middle school and elementary school,” Findorak said. 

Freshman Vanessa Messina explains how being in high school changed her perspective on the show.

“Seeing art from other high schoolers was something I took differently this year,” Messina said. “Previously, I would see artwork made by high schoolers and not really pay much attention to it, but this time I was more focused on seeing what my friends made.”
