The William Floyd School District Fine Arts Department recently held its annual Districtwide Art Show at the south lobby of William Floyd High School. This event aligns with the start of March and the celebration of Youth Art & Music Month. It showcased artwork from students across all grade levels within the district. Families and community members were invited to view the gallery and celebrate the student-artists' work.
Members of the National Art Honor Society organized the event, providing refreshments and running craft activities along with a face painting station for younger attendees.
“The ‘Districtwide Art Show’ has become a beloved evening for the Art Department, students and families,” stated Theresa Bianco, chairperson of Fine Arts at William Floyd School District. “We wanted to give our students an opportunity to share their artwork and be able to discuss with the community what they created, and that is something to be very proud of.”
Mrs. Bianco highlighted how “incredibly talented and thought-provoking” the student-artists are, emphasizing the educational benefits of their involvement. “They gain an understanding of how the art skills they learn in elementary [and middle] school carries into their high school career,” she added.
