Art Class 2023

ART CLASS

“Submerged” by Nazare McIntosh.

Editor’s note

When I was a high school student, my community newspaper wrote about a sculpture I crafted that was on exhibit at a small local art gallery. There was something important about seeing my work published in the newspaper. It made me feel like I was officially not only an artist, but a published artist. That meant a lot to me. I included the newspaper clipping in my portfolio, along with some awardwinning pieces. I went on to study at the Massachusetts College of Art & Design, graduating with a degree in graphic design.

A little recognition from my community went a long way in building my confidence as an artist, and now I have the opportunity to do the same for these students.

The MV Times, with help from school staff and the support of Tea Lane Associates and the Center for New Learning, is honored to publish this collection of artwork by the incredibly talented students of the Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School. We hope you enjoy the work they have been creating. May this be an asset in their blooming artistic careers.

Chris Baer, chair of the Art, Design and Technology Department at MVRHS, helped compile the content, along with Tiffiney Shoquist, Elsbeth Todd, Brendan Coogan, and Chris Connors.

MV Times’ design department, including myself, enjoyed selecting the artwork and provided the layout of this publication.

Many — but not all — of the works showcased here were entered in the 2022–23 Scholastic Art and Writing Awards competition.

Congratulations to the following 18 MVRHS students for winning a total of 23 awards in the 2023 Scholastic Art Awards. Students received accolades in media including ceramics, photography, digital art, and “expanded projects” (a new category involving interactive and installation art).

Four students — Isabel Carreno-Vogt, Jonathan DeOliveira, Walter Prescott, and Samantha Warren — won the coveted Gold Key awards, which means their work will go on to New York City for the national competition in the spring. There was also a Charter School winner, senior Matti Floyd.

I like to create art because it’s like an escape and I can do what I want and I can make what I want. And I like being in this [class] room because all my friends are in here and we all have like common interests and stuff. ” –Beth Jennings

This was at the landing by Ocean Heights, at sunset. The sun itself was reflecting off the water. It was just a full view of water and then the sun. My friend lives on Ocean Heights so I would go to her house every day, the weather is always different. So, you never know what to expect and then you take a picture. It’s never the same, the tide’s always different. The sun, the weather. ” –Autumn Donnelly

I particularly enjoy making sculptures because it’s like makin g my paper drawings gain a 3D form, they gain a physical body and they feel more real. The cat tower is the biggest sculpture I have made so far, being almost 2 feet tall.”

The Martha’s Vineyard Times would like to share its appreciation for the contributions of our sponsors and supporters, without whom projects like this would not be possible.
