 Conway Public Schools recently held the Annual Student Art Exhibits at the Faulkner County Library. With elementary art added to the required curriculum a few years ago CPS district now employs 16 art teachers. The exhibit outgrew its space, therefore both an elementary and a secondary exhibit and reception were held this year.
The secondary exhibit featured designs that will potentially become tiles installed at SI, self portraits done in pencil from CSMS, and more abstract compositions done in pen and ink and some acrylic painting and colored pencil compositions from HS-W and CPS ALE. Artwork from RDI and BCMS presented a variety of subject matter and techniques. The refreshment table was decorated in colorful paper lanterns, ferns and hand made pottery. Dr. Murry was present along with many family members and friends of the student artists.
