Opening Reception: Transformation Through Transportation by Cathedral Arts Project at JAXPORT Gallery

Image by JAXPORT
6.28.12
"When our class visited JAXPORT, we were able to see and learn about many new and unfamiliar things. For each student different things sparked interest or inspiration. Some were inspired by the rail cars and train tracks, some the marsh land while others were inspired by the ships and cranes. Students sketched that which inspired them and discussed the subject of this inspiration with each other.

We brought each of our individual experiences and inspirations into the classroom and what emerged was an overarching idea of textures, shapes and patterns that were a part of the many sights. In order to highlight these textures and patterns, the students created printmaking blocks by carving their designs into foam sheets. They then used a traditional printing process to print these blocks into the pieces you see on display. With this process, the image can be printed multiple times.

Earlier in the year, our class studied Origami, the Japanese traditional art of paper folding. During this study we created paper cranes (birds). With the upcoming JAXPORT show, we wanted to honor the birds and wildlife of JAXPORT and the marsh lands that surround it while also highlighting their environmentally conscious practices by creating paper cranes using old annual reports given to us by JAXPORT. We created some on unpainted paper and some paper we painted with watercolor paints, then created the cranes. We wanted these to seem like they were a flock of birds flying through the gallery.

As a final art piece of our class and a culmination of our JAXPORT experience, the students were able to create an art piece about JAXPORT using acrylic paint and a "reverse color" painting technique in order to create more depth and interest in the art piece."

Arts Umbrella Story

"It was a dream to instil in all children the love of the arts, inspiring them to become healthy, confident, productive, creative citizens. A dream to build a centre that would awaken the artistic potential of young people in a way that hadn’t been done before. It was a dream to make a difference."
— Carol Henriquez, O.C.,

honorary chair of the Arts Umbrella board of directors, co-founder of Arts Umbrella

In 1979, United Nations’ International Year of the Child, Arts Umbrella opened its doors to 45 children. It was an endeavour buoyed by the dream of five enthusiastic artists concerned about the lack of arts education available to children. The founders served as instructors, the organization’s first board of directors and did everything it took to get their idea off the ground.

The need in the community for children’s arts education was evident, and Arts Umbrella took off instantly. Soon a new building, an increasing group of volunteers and donors, and a high-level Board of Directors were in place.

Arts Umbrella has flourished with a strong vision and an unwavering focus on inspiring kids for life through the arts by providing the highest quality visual and performing arts education to children regardless of their financial circumstances.

At Arts Umbrella, children learn to dance, to paint, to sculpt, to create computer games and cartoons, and to perform. They experience the joy of creation and discover their own creative potential. They learn to appreciate the arts. Through arts education, children gain self confidence, independent thinking, technical skills, discipline, and even improved academic results and specific career direction.

Arts Umbrella’s strong legacy and culture are the result of the vision and "magic" established by the founders, and continued through the work of the community that supports and upholds the organization. Everyone that has been touched by Arts Umbrella — from students past and present, to parents, staff, instructors, volunteers, donors and the board of directors — thrives and is fed by the energy of the thousands of young people who engage in the magic of the Arts Umbrella experience, year after year.

This magic — charismatic, knowledgeable instructors fostering creativity and inspiring passion in children — is a key attribute of Arts Umbrella, and something the organization continues to take very seriously.

By fostering and nurturing the magic, Arts Umbrella has become a truly world-class children’s arts centre serving the community around it, and a model for children’s arts institutions around the world.

Delicious refreshments were generously donated for the Newton South High School art opening by Whole Foods.

Image by Newton Free Library
The library is delighted to announce the opening of Newton South High School’s first show in our Young Adult Art Gallery located on the second floor. For the first time in the gallery’s short history ceramics will be displayed in the cases adjacent to the gallery wall. A Snapshot of Newton South Arts will be on view from spring through early fall 2011 and includes a variety of media. A lively opening reception with food provided by Whole Foods Market took place on Saturday, April 2 at 3:00 pm in the Trustees’ Room and included a gallery tour.
At any given moment during the academic year, Newton South visual arts students are developing their creativity and building artistic skills in a variety of media. Student work is collected in college-bound portfolios, displayed around the school, at the Newton Education Center and entered into the Boston Globe Scholastic Art Awards. This year Newton South art students received more Gold and Silver Key awards than any public or private school in Newton and the surrounding area.
While much of Newton South’s award winning work is displayed in other locations, the Young Adult Gallery exhibition is an accurate reflection of the quality and breadth of work produced by South students. The pieces were selected from students’ work in the following classes:
•Ceramics Teachers: Cindy Goldberg, Karen Sobin-Jonash
•Digital Art Teacher: Carol Ober
•Painting and Drawing Teacher: Megan Leary-Crist
•Photography Teacher: Robert Bouchal
The library wishes to extend its gratitude to Eric Blomster of abraxis framing co. in Newton, who generously donated his time, and provided the frames and mats cost-free, and to members of the Newton Camera Club who hung the show.
