Budding artists: All-State High School Art Show on display at Springville museum
With 782 pieces entered from 77 different schools, and 392 works on display, the show fills nearly every gallery on the museum's main floor.
"Every year the talent that is displayed in the show grows and improves," said Virgil Jacobsen, the museum's assistant director and curator of education. "This is a wonderful chance for the people of Utah to see what kind of talent these youth have."
The eclectic vision of these young artists is noteworthy, albeit many still rely too heavily on copying photographs. However, there are some pieces that are genuinely unique and refreshing.
Despite the recurring question of minor episodes of weak execution mostly due to age and lack of experience it must be said that much of the art in the exhibit is good to very good.
If anything is lacking in the show, it's the quality of the matting and framing. Some of the pieces are so good that a better presentation would have positioned the work in a professional vein.
Jacobsen chose the coveted Director's Award based on his personal preference. This year's winner is Macie Hamblin, a senior from Viewmont, for her pastel, "Meagan." (For a complete list of winners, see accompanying sidebars.)
An awards ceremony for the winners, family members and teachers will be Saturday at 1 p.m. at the museum.
