RADFORD – Radford City Public Schools’ art students are the featured artists for Glencoe Mansion’s newest Gallery Exhibit.
Students from kindergarten through 12th grade have their work on display now through April 30. Glencoe Mansion will host an opening reception Sunday, Mar. 29, 1 – 3 p.m. Mrs. Irene Ours, the McHarg Elementary music teacher, will play soft classical music on her viola during the reception. The event is open to all, is free to attend and suitable for all ages.
The show includes the works of students from Radford High School, John N. Dalton Intermediate School, Belle Heth Elementary and McHarg Elementary. The exhibit features a wide variety of works, including drawings and paintings, 3-Dimensional sculptural pieces, and a special Black-Light installation. The show will also debut a new element, which is one piece each by the four Radford City Public School art teachers: Tarri Gauck, McHarg Elementary; Michelle Saunders, Belle Heth Elementary; Kristy Bryant, Dalton Intermediate School; and Sarah Blackburn, Radford High School.
Under the instruction of Michelle Saunders, a new dynamic has been added to the annual show with the third – sixth grade art students at Belle Heth. They’re presenting Creative, Cooperative Collaborations with media works that began with fifth and sixth grade students who were asked to draw a large animal that filled the entire page. The third and fourth grade students then colored the drawings. At the end of the collaborative project, the fifth and sixth grade students returned to the work and outlined and finished the art project. Additional artworks are on display at Radford’s School Board Office, 1612 Wadsworth St.
We encourage the community to visit and show their support for these talented Bobcats. Glencoe Mansion is free to visit and is open Wednesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday, 1- 4 p.m.
