GREENFIELD — Greenfield Banking Company’s Art Gallery will feature a selection of artwork from the students of Eastern Hancock High School during March and April. The School Corporation of Eastern Hancock County currently serves 391 High School Students. 112 of these High School students and approximately 27 8th grade students are enrolled in Art department courses with Art teacher, Jaydene O’Donoghue.
The pieces displayed in the exhibit cover a sampling of media that students have had the opportunity of working with including ceramic, printmaking, pencil/charcoal drawing, photography, digital design and mixed media pieces.
Featured are several Tempera batik paintings. This is a process of painting thick layers of tempera paint, with chalk lines to act as a resist. The entire piece is covered in black India ink and then washed off to reveal a vibrant and interestingly textured piece.
The public is invited to view the student’s artwork in Greenfield Banking Company’s Art Gallery during March and April, 2014. The Art Gallery, located on the second floor of the Main Office, 1920 N. State St., Greenfield is open to the public during normal business hours, Mon. – Thurs., 9 – 5; Fri., 9 – 6; Sat 9 – Noon.
