Influences Statement
By juror Trevor Campbell

The fluid transfer of creative practices between the student and educator abounds within the high school art classroom. Common interests in subject matter or conceptual ideas, various sources of shared inspirations, unique approaches and finishes become visible and tangible in works, both hung with pride in the hallway or out in the public. This influence between the educator and the student, however, is not one directional - students have a profound impact on the educator’s work as well. Oftentimes, we as art educators feed off of the enthusiasm and passions with those we get to work with. The curious and inquisitive mind of the adolescent, especially within a creative environment, is hard for us to ignore.

This group exhibition will highlight the creative work of regional high school art educators and their students. Educator artwork and student artwork will be shown side by side, manifesting the influence and the impact made by those instructing and guiding the next generation of artists and vice versa.
