Please join us.... TONIGHT, Wednesday, June 2 at 5:30 for a modified Art Exhibit.... modified in size/quantity NOT modified QUALITY!! Due to the uptick in Covid, we are showcasing our AMAZING SENIORS ONLY - so there will be less art and more space to walk around. Special shout out to our fabulous AP Studio Artists: Leah Balser, Jade Hostetler and Alexandra Skilton, who have successfully submitted their portfolios, and are anxiously awaiting scores from the AP Board.

ADDITIONALLY: We are so very PROUD of ALEXANDRA SKILTON, the STATE of CONNECTICUT WINNER of the DOODLE for GOOGLE contest for grades 10-12. Alex's watercolor entry will be up for NATIONAL competition. Please vote for her daily on all your devices, at https://doodles.google.com/d4g/vote/ starting soon!

Drawing I is an introductory course offered that is one of our MANY "dual enrollment" courses at Bacon Academy where students may earn college credit through Three Rivers Community College at NO CHARGE. Of course, with hours of hard work & determination these amazing artists are able to create college level drawings. Beginning with value studies and a bit of Direct Observation practice, some color pencil lessons and VOILA ... Amazingly rendered Direct Observation Peppers. THIS IS DRAWING I.
