My Project

Oftentimes, art students don't get as much hype as the student-athletes or students with high academic achievements. That's why I'm glad I happen to teach at a school where all talents and achievements are celebrated.

Even though talents are celebrated at my school, this will be the first art show my students have had where it is focused only on visual art, and I want them to get the classiest, most upscale experience ever.

I'm talking about a gallery opening kind of experience, with live music, refreshments, a guest speaker, and my students all dressed up for the occasion. The tables will be decorated and the artwork placed on top of the tables so guests can walk around the room admiring the work from all sides.

Please, help me give my students an event they will never forget, one that can be called the best art show ever!
