Student art showcased this winter Galleries in Sidney, Troy show off talent of local youth BY LINDY JURACK iN75 Editor Reading, writing and arithmetic may take up most of an average school day, but for many students, there’s one spot in the day where they can dream, create and express themselves. And this month, the community has a chance to witness that talent. Art classes from elementary school through 12th grade provide a powerful education for our community’s youth. It not only enriches the school experience, but also teaches creativity, problem-solving, work ethic, learning from mistakes and time management, while building confidence and pride.
Student art exhibits are being held this month in both Troy and Sidney, creating the perfect opportunity to learn about what art teachers are instilling in our young people, and also see the talent of the next generation. The Troy-Hayner Cultural Center is hosting the Young Masters Art Exhibit now through Feb. 19, showcasing selected works completed by Troy students from kindergarten through 12th grade. Gateway Arts Council in Sidney is featuring its first High School Art Exhibit all month long. iN75 chatted with the Troy art teachers last week at the Hayner Center as they were busy hanging up the exhibit, which includes nearly 400 pieces of
artwork done by students at Troy City elementary schools, junior high and high school, Troy Christian Elementary, Troy Christian High School and St. Patrick Elementary School. The 2- and 3-dimensional pieces cover all mediums, including oil, pastel, painting, drawing, ceramics, photography and sculptures.
Art is enrichment
Jill Hartman, chair of the Visual Arts Department for Troy City Schools, said it’s important for art to be included in a school’s curriculum because it can help support what students are learning in their other classes. She teaches all levels of art classes and knows how color theory ties into psychology, culture correlates with history, drawing landscapes extends lessons about climates and having students write about what they’ve created supports English classes. “I look at us not as fluff, but enrichment of what students are getting in other subject areas,” she said. “We’re able to use art to see what’s going on and help students understand what’s going on.” Learning to master artistic skills also teaches life lessons students might not encounter in other classes. “You learn you’re always going to make mistakes, but there’s always a way to learn from that. And you learn that nothing’s ever final until you STAFF PHOTO/LINDY JURACK say it is,” Hartman said, Troy City Schools arts teachers Jill Hartman (left) and adding that it teaches time Phil Matthews help hang their students art at the management and commitment.

Gateway Arts Council Executive Director Ellen Keyes shows off some of the art in the High School Art Exhibit. These pieces were done by William Kennedy, a sophomore at Ben Logan High School in Bellefontaine. Danny Knepper teaches art in grades 1-12 at Botkins High School in Shelby County. Some of his students have work in the Gateway Arts Council show this month. “Art is about creativity and problem-solving,” he said. “You need a good work ethic to succeed in art, and our kids desperately need to have a good work ethic.” Knepper spoke about how much art influences life. “It teaches us to ask questions. It records history and reflects current culture. It’s about communication of ideas,” he said. “Consider the connotations of art galleries in a community, and you’ll feel they are positive. Think of a

Art • CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 they want to do,” she said. “But there’s always that closeted artist that flies under the radar until one day, they blossom.” Clarissa Dickey, a junior in Hartman’s art class, plans on continuing art after she graduates. She hopes to draw storyboards for movies since she’s always been passionate about comic art. “When I make art, I lose myself in it,” she said. “It’s as if in those moments, nothing else exists anymore — no time, no one — except me and my piece of art.” Dickey is especially proud of her piece in the Young Masters Art Exhibit. The soldered glass piece took her more than one month to complete. Her class was assigned to put something in between two pieces of glass and solder the pieces together. “My piece’s theme was the different perspectives of natural life,” Dickey said. “In between my glass, I put real flowers, and as a background, I have a picture of stars in space. One of my glass panels is broken. I feel that this represents the fragile tendency of all things. It took me way longer to complete this project than I had expected, and it was a very difficult process, but I enjoyed it very much and am very happy with its outcome.” For Kim Stephan, art teacher at Troy Christian High School, watching the students surprise themselves is the biggest reward. “I love to hear students say, ‘I didn’t think I could do that,’” she said. Her favorite thing to do in class? Give a set of
forts, but with an art show, they know if they’ve done well, and know they’re headed in the right direction,” he said. “It also lets the community see we’re doing more than refrigerator door art.”

Gallery worthy It’s one thing for students to have their artwork praised in the classroom, but for it to hang in a gallery for their families and communities to see can make all the difference. “This is a gorgeous venue,” Hartman said of the Hayner Center. “We’re really lucky to have this here in Troy.” Hartman is happy the center hosts an art show for students, something it’s been doing for several years. She said it is a good connection for the teachers, students and families, and they want the community to see what’s going on in the classroom.
“A lot of times we underestimate what kids can do,” she said. Stephan said having their work hang in an art show builds confidence for students. “It’s important for the kids to know their art is important and worthy of being hung in a gallery for people to see, and it’s important for the community to see,” she said. “People always hear the negative aspects of kids and it’s important for them to see the creative side.” In Shelby County, Knepper said having community shows like the Gateway Arts Council show is a way for students to see an immediate result from their efforts. “A student might get an A in math or science and never really see direct results from their ef-
The Gateway Arts Council show is a first for the organization. Invitations were sent to several area high schools, and while it was unclear at press time which schools are participating, the show will have art from Botkins, Sidney, Lehman Catholic and Ben Logan High School in Bellefontaine. Tyler Egbert, one of Knepper’s students at Botkins, has a colored pencil work of a ‘57 Chevy in the show. It took him roughly 10 hours to complete, and was one of the more complex pieces he’s done. He said his favorite thing about art is “the ability to be creative, and change and manipulate colors and images to produce a quality piece.” Gateway Arts Executive Director Ellen Keyes said the agency wanted to do a show for students to expose them to different places to show their art, and to encourage the young artists to meet each other. “It’s a start in a gallery in a professional setting for these kids,” she said. “We just want them to get a little taste of professional experience. Experience is huge.” Gateway Arts has upped the quality of its gallery with its move to North Miami Avenue. The big open rooms and kitchen where the art hangs are comfortable, yet professional. Keyes
wants to continue to make it the home for the arts in the county. “I want everyone to feel like that whether they’re 10 or 95,” she said. She’s hoping more people will come in and wander the rooms to see the art displayed, and she assures the art of the students will not disappoint. “I think people will be astonished at the quality of the work,” she said.
From student to teacher For Gabbie Braun, of Troy, seeing her art on the walls at Troy-Hayner as a child made an impact. “Walking up the stairs and seeing your art … for a kid, that’s a big deal,” she said. “I know it’s important for the kids.” Art was something Braun enjoyed in school because it challenged her. She said she always aced AP classes, but got Cs in art, which encouraged her to stick with it to improve. She took art into college at Miami University and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in printmaking and a Bachelor of Science in art education last December. She now teaches K-5
art at Troy’s Forrest and Kyle elementary schools. Being on the teaching side of things for the first time, the Young Masters Art Exhibit is a bit surreal for Braun. Instead of her own art on the walls, now it’s the work of the students she has taught, and teaching art to young children is clearly something she’s passionate about. “Their minds are so big and they’re soaking up the whole world. Art can be a lens for how people see the world,” she said. “Teaching them to be creative and go outside the box is so important.” Braun said many elementary art teachers have started to introduce fine art mediums to their young students, such as charcoal and batik, instead of more craft-based art. “If you break the steps down for them, they can do it,” she said.
Instilling love Hartman, the Troy High School teacher, is grateful for the important role the elementary art teachers play. “They instill that love, • See Art on page 4

Art • CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3 and that fire that continues to brew. They make sure they have a positive experience,” she said. “Because by the time they get to me, art is a choice.” Knepper, in Botkins, watches students progress from first grade to senior year. “There is a steady growth in technical skills — how to draw, how to handle paint or clay. At the same time, I try to get them to tap into their creativity, and that can spill over into all areas of their education,” he said. The Young Masters Art Exhibit has been an annual show since 1994. It used to be hosted at the library before it moved over to the Hayner Center. Nancy Hutchins, exhibit coordinator for the center, said it’s difficult to know how many people come in to see the show, but 1,500 people visit Hayner every month. “We’re all firm believers that art is an important part of a child’s education, whether it’s visual, performing or creative. A kid’s not well-rounded if they don’t have art,” Hutchins said. This is the only exhibit just for students at the Hayner Center, but it supports youth art with student divisions of other contests and shows. The
Congressional Art Competition for students also is hosted at Hayner. Hutchins encourages the public to come see the art in the Young Masters Exhibit. “You will be absolutely amazed at the artistic talent of the kids in your area. It’s amazing how much talent these kids have,” she said. The Young Masters Art Exhibit wouldn’t be possible without the support of the Troy City School District, Hartman said. “The level of support is huge, from the administration to the school board,” she said. “They fully support what we’re doing.” The Young Masters Art Exhibit can be viewed at the Troy-Hayner Cultural Center, 301 W. Main St., Tuesday through Saturday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Thursday 7 to 9 p.m. and Sunday 1 to 5 p.m. The exhibit, which is free, is on display through Feb. 19. For more information, call (937) 339-0457 or visit www.troyhayner.org. The High School Art Exhibit is on display at the Gateway Arts Council, 216 N. Miami Ave., throughout January. Hours are Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Weekend visit are available by appointment. Call (937) 4982787 or visit gatewayartscouncil.org for more details.

Hotel California rocks at Hobart Arena this Friday BY LINDY JURACK iN75 Editor TROY — Hotel California is bringing the sounds of the Eagles back to Troy this winter. The Eagles tribute band, which has performed in town four times, will play Hobart Arena this Friday. The band is based in the Toronto, Canada, and Buffalo, N.Y., area. iN75 called bassist and vocalist Andy Lapointe in Canada to talk about the upcoming show. “Troy’s been fun,” Lapointe said, noting three prior outdoor concerts in town and one at Hobart. Hotel California has been paying homage to the Eagles for 26 years. In addition to Lapointe, the band includes Mike Dimoulas on keyboard and lead guitar, Dean Young on drums and Rick Spider on lead guitar. All the guys add their vocal talent to the sound they create together. “The band just fell into it 26 years ago,” Lapointe said about why they decided to cover the band that produced Top 40 singles “Take It Easy,” “Witchy Woman” and “Peaceful Easy Feeling,” all of which Hotel California cover at their concerts. Lapointe said at the time the group got together only a few tribute bands existed, including ones honoring the Rolling Stones and the Beach Boys. “It just worked out really well,” Lapointe said. “We love the harmonies and love the music.” The audience at the

Hotel California, an Eagles tribute band, will take the stage at Troy’s Hobart Arena this Friday. January show can expect to hear “How Long,” “Busy Being Fabulous,” “Wasted Time,” “One of these Nights,” “Rocky Mountain Way,” “Dirty Laundry,” “Already Gone,” “Heartache Tonight,” Desperado,” “Life in the Fast Lane,” “Lyin’ Eyes,” a personal favorite of Lapointe’s, and, of course, “Hotel California.” The guys slow it down with acoustic, sit-down versions of “Seven Bridges Road,” “Best of my Love,” “Heart of the Matter” and “Tequila Sunrise.” Sometimes the band adds “Take it to the Limit,” “Life’s Been Good,” “Boys of Summer,” “Last Resort” and “All She Wants to Do is Dance” to their set list. All of their songs are by the Eagles or by Don Hen-
ley and Joe Walsh, Eagles members who also had solo careers. Lapointe promises a good time at any Hotel California show. “You sing a lot with the band, do a lot of clapping,” he said. “It’s fun.” Saluting the sound and songs of the Eagles has taken Hotel California around the world. “We play all over North America. We’ve done Bermuda, India, Dubai, Japan for the U.S. Navy,” Lapointe said. “It takes us a lot of places.” It’s also allowed them to jam with a number of famous bands and artists. They’ve shared the stage with the Doobie Brothers, REO Speedwagon, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Foreigner, Styx
and Gretchen Wilson, among others. Lapointe hopes to accomplish one goal at the Troy concert. “I want people to say that we sounded just like the (Eagles), that you close your eyes and you get that illusion,” he said. “And we get that most of the time.” Tickets for the show at Hobart Arena are $15 for reserved seating and $12 for general admission. Tickets purchased the day of the show will be $2 more. Order tickets at www.hobartarena.com or call the arena at (937) 3392911.

‘Jersey Boys’ star chats about the show BY JENNIFER BUMGARNER Sidney Daily News For iN75 DAYTON — “Jersey Boys,” a Broadway hit about Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, arrives in Dayton Tuesday for its debut run through Feb. 5. The Sidney Daily News spoke with Barry Anderson, who plays Bob Crewe in the cast, about his role in the production and how he caught the acting bug. The musical tells the story of Frankie Valli, Bob Gaudio, Tommy DeVito and Nick Massi, and how these blue collar boys from the wrong side of the tracks became one of the biggest American pop music sensations of all time. Crewe, Anderson’s character, created a lot of the group’s songs, even through he wasn’t a performer. “He was very instrumental in creating a lot of the well-known hits that the group had,” Anderson said. “He had worked a little bit with Frankie Valli early on before the group was formed, and also Bob Gaudio. Their relationship really took off when he started producing and writing songs for the Four Seasons.” Crewe produced “Sherry,” the first big hit for the group. Together Crewe and Gaudio produced songs such as “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and “Walk Like a Man.” “Although he wasn’t one of the performers in the group, the group got to where they are because of him,” Anderson said. “A lot of his work took place in the studio. That’s where his genius comes into play. Above everything, you get to see kind of how he crafted this group and this sound and his genius in the recording studio.” While the music is the main attraction in “Jersey Boys,” Anderson commented on how the other elements come together to enhance the story.
“The show is slick technically. Transitions between scenes happen and you don’t realize they occur because they’re so seamless and streamlined.” — Barry Anderson “The show is so slick technically. Transitions between scenes happen and you don’t realize they occur because they’re so seamless and streamlined,” he said. “In that regard, it’s almost like watching a film because you go to a new scene. It’s staged so well.” The show also uses automation, such as microphones and drum kit sets moving on their own as scenes change. The set and props are very specific, and in many ways some people might miss the intricate details. “Sometimes the audience isn’t even aware of the small little details,” Anderson said. “The color of a swizzle stick in a prop matches the season that the story is taking place. Those are the things that have helped make the show such a hit and a quality piece of theater. “ One of the special things about the show is the personal connection people have with the songs. “The audiences go crazy for this show,” he said. “We’ll have people singing along with the songs.” During a recent performance in Philadelphia, a woman in the front row had tears in her eyes, the actor said. For

Barry Anderson plays Bob Crewe in “Jersey Boys,” which opens in Dayton Tuesday. him, that moment was significant. “To see someone react so much and for it to resonate so much with a whole theater of people is amazing,” he said. “A lot of it has to do with the familiarity of the music. People grew up with it, and it’s a part of their lives. By the end of the night, you feel like it’s a party.” Anderson did a national tour with “Legally Blonde” in 2009, which was in Dayton that year. He was on the road with that show for 18 months, and had done the Broadway production prior to that. He’s done a lot of regional theater, other tours and has been in film and television in a smaller capacity. He appeared on the television shows “30 Rock” and “As the World Turns.” A native of Wisconsin, Anderson went to the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire
and has a degree in music. He started in theater as a young man and did his first show at 12 years old. “It was ‘Peter Pan’ and that got me hooked,” he said. “I got bit by the bug as they say. I always did theater throughout school, and when I graduated college, I continued doing it as my career and I moved to New York.” The cast of “Jersey Boys” will be led by Brandon Andrus (Nick Massi), Colby Foytik (Tommy DeVito), Jason Kappus (Bob Gaudio) and Brad Weinstock (Frankie Valli) as The Four Seasons, with Anderson and Thomas Fiscella. The ensemble cast includes Stephen Cerf, E. Clayton Cornelious, Kaleigh Cronin, Brent DiRoma, Larry Esparza, Natalie Gallo, Devon Goffman, Wes Hart, Dave Hiltebrand, Ruby Lewis, Christopher Messina, Hayden Milanes, Michelle Pruiett, Skye Scott and Carlos Valdes. Directed by two-time Tony Award-winner Des McAnuff, “Jersey Boys” is written by Academy Award-winner Marshall Brickman and Rick Elice, with music by Bob Gaudio, lyrics by Bob Crewe and choreography by Sergio Trujillo. The show is produced by Dodger Theatricals, Joseph J. Grano, Tamara and Kevin Kinsella, Pelican Group, with Latitude Link and Rick Steiner. There are six current productions of Jersey Boys worldwide in New York, London, Las Vegas, Sydney, Australia, and two U.S. national tours. Jersey Boys is part of the Victoria Theatre Association’s 2011-2012 Miami Valley and Good Samaritan Hospitals Broadway Series. The performance schedule is Tuesday through Friday 8 p.m.; Saturday 2 and 8 p.m.; and Sunday 2 and 7:30 p.m. Tickets begin at $42 and are available at the Ticket Center Stage Box Office in the Schuster Center, at (937) 228-3630 or www.ticketcenterstage.com.
