Art Show Highlights a Semester’s Worth of Creativity

In late January, the Landau Art Gallery was once again transformed into an immersive demonstration of the craftsmanship and creativity of Belmont Hill students. Featuring work from the first semester Ceramics, Drawing & Painting, Photography, and Woodworking classes, the exhibition shows off the boys’ interests and artistic inspirations across a wide range of mediums.

For Arts Teacher Sarah Bradley, who curated the Drawing & Painting and Ceramics selections, the show represents the culmination of months of the boys’ work, experimentation, and growth. “A lot of students will start out the semester being unsure of their artistic abilities, but by the end they have a completely new attitude, and I think that's clear to see when you walk through the gallery.”

Ms. Bradley hopes the show offers the artists a chance to reflect on their own work, while encouraging the next crop of Belmont Hill artists. “I hope (and do think) that it gives the students a sense of real accomplishment to see their work displayed for everyone to see,” Ms. Bradley said. “It also is inspiring for any of the First Form Art students to see the work that the advanced sections create, and in general for any student at Belmont Hill to see the extent of what is possible to create in Robsham!”
