Cherry Creek School District "Excellence in Art Student Virtual Exhibition"

Every year in CCSD, our High School Visual Arts programs continue to transform young students into blossoming artists. So by the time they are upper classroom these young artists are finding their own voice. The voice they develop is not just in skills and artistic savvy, but in ideas, and they are asking questions about the world around them. Moreover, they start to see the need to fill the vacancy we have in valuing the creative arts. In many cases the art room is one place during their school day that they can decompress; they can move into their Right Brain and quiet their daily worries and pressures. They can engage in something that is authentically their own. These opportunities are small victories and portals of light for our young minds.

I salute, with the deepest respect those who have agreed to lead children through this journey. The Art teachers have a blessed and a challenging path. As our culture’s stress continues to rise and our mental health weakens- our job becomes more imperative; as it is a beacon of hope for many.

In encouraging them to find their own voice and their own verve, we provide tools for them to weave their own stories and become their own champions. We want them to find the courage to make their ART and further command the need for balance in our tech-tipped lives. Our jobs ask us to tailor our lesson so that students can find their space and their place in the threads of our weavings.

The exhibit you see here is a collective group of Cherry Creek School District’s young artists who we are hoping to pass the lighted torch to- so they may carry on- with the task of opening up our creative minds.
