Current Exhibition
Creative Talents: PSO Student Art Show
Jan. 17 - Feb 14, 2026
Opening Reception January 17, 11am-2pm
Students from grades 8 to 12 have contributed a variety of pieces for this show. Artworks range from drawings and paintings to scratch art and prints; with a subject matter that shows the diversity of interests of our student population.
Many pieces come from the day-to-day work that happens in an art class, like drawing warmups, art activities, and project assignments. Some pieces have been done independently by dedicated students specifically for this show. These pieces demonstrate their creativity and technical skill, as well as their perseverance and hard work.
This show highlights student talents in a range of mediums and represents much of what we do in a high school art class. These examples of the student projects show their journey of skill building, developing creativity, and building their own personal style. Students practice with new mediums and different techniques before starting a large project piece. Some projects had multiple processes, and others were simply for students to play and express themselves. This student work is a sampling of who they are as artists.
Students have had a fast paced and focused art experience so far this school year. With daily practice students develop their skills quickly and their artistic progression is evident. Through these exercises and projects, they learn to persevere and work through challenging artistic struggles. They adapt, they problem solve, they suffer the frustrations that all artists do, and they grow.
We hope you enjoy this view into the PSO art program.
