ART GALA: Works by artists young and old

The 40th annual Unionville Art Gala fundraiser at the high school this weekend comprised such a variety of media, like paintings, pottery, jewelry, photography, sculptures, woodworks, glassware and mosaics. I had a great time browsing through the works by the professional artists, but as always my favorite part was looking at the student art (and not just to see works by my friends' kids, honest). The pencil sketches done by the students in "Intro to Drawing" were wonderfully creative; I also liked the self-portraits and the intricate 3D artworks. What a lot of talent there is in the district! The fundraiser is organized by the Unionville High School PTO -- which must be a monumental task given the number of artists who participate.
