Mt. Blue art teachers Pam Chernesky and Kim Jacques are excited to see students’ work return to the Emery Community Arts Center Gallery as the exhibit provides them with a wonderful opportunity to share their work with the community.

Art classes at the high school provide students with the opportunity to develop skills as well as learning to think and work like artists in the studio. Students enjoy choice-based assignments where they can create personally relevant works around a theme or solve a design challenge. Students practice ideation, developing skills, creating, then reflect and share their work
