Inter-house Fine Art Display
Houses show their artistic sides.
I have learned over my years at Shawnigan that if you want to get student participation in any activity then the best way is to make it a competition. That is exactly what we have done in the visual arts. Each year the House Fine Art captains are asked to mount a display of art work completed by students in their House. Due to display space, we limit each House to four junior pieces and four senior pieces. This year the display took place in the lobby of the Shaw Science Centre from April 13 -24th.

There are 12 different visual arts currently being offered at the School, ranging from film animation, to fly tying, to woodwork and textile arts. As always, there is a lovely display of work that many of us rarely get an opportunity to see in our busy lives. I also want to thank the staff at Shawnigan for contributing some of their creations to the displays.
