Student art show tonight at WHS

HAMPTON — The Winnacunnet High School auditorium foyer will be overflowing with impressive displays of student art tonight from 6 to 8. The annual WHS Art Show includes student artwork from graphite drawings to ceramic sculptures.

The art show is an opportunity for students from any art class to display their work, but provides a particularly important opportunity for students of the Advanced Placement Art Portfolio class, like Seabrook seniors Michelle Tsaltas and Joe Wood.

Each student from this all-senior, college level art class, will be putting together a display of their artwork from the yearlong course. The art show provides a final culminating experience for the seniors, who will send their pieces to be judged for the AP exams just two days after.

"I am looking forward to the art show in general, but the part I am looking forward to most is the senior walls, for all of the seniors in the Advanced Placement Portfolio class," Wood said. A member of part of the AP Portfolio class, Joe will displaying 10 to 15 of his pieces in the art show.

Both Wood and Tsaltas are hoping for careers in art and will go on to art schools in the fall after graduation, Wood in Manchester, N.H., and Tsaltas in Boston.
