“Paintings
by graduating students
from Reyum Art School”
Opening
Reception, August 30, 2005 |
|
This exhibition presents a selection of paintings done by 14 students
for their graduation this year. By mounting this exhibition, we wanted
not only to encourage these student but also take the opportunity
to present the activities of our art school to the general public.
Thus, we also present works of students from other grades as well
as some pictures of school activities. Besides, each of our 120 students
were given one minute the opportunity to present themselves in a video
profile (which is playing in the backroom) along with drawings from
the youngest students.
Founded
in 2000, Reyum Art School offers free half-day classes in drawing
and painting for un derprivileged children who are willing to come
on a regular basis and participate in lessons with some degree of
concentration and commitment. The goals of the school are to train
children in representational drawings, while developing their creative
and imaginative thinking which may serve them in the various vocations
which they will pursue as adults.
Reyum
wishes to thank teachers and staff at Reyum as well as all individuals
involved in student learning and progress. We also would like to thank
donors such as the Albert Kunstader Family Foundation, and the Ingrid's
Bequest Fund for Reyum whose generous gift make this school possible.
