The fourteenth annual group exhibition of works by students attending Rhinebeck Central School District was created as a virtual exhibit this year, titled Apart Together.

Typically, we display student art works at the Starr Library, however, due to the current circumstances we have created a video of works as way to create a virtual art show.

The exhibit features work in a variety of media and show the expertise students gain as they study art within Rhinebeck Central Schools’ arts curricula under the direction of at teachers Fawn Johnson (CLS), Jennifer Famiglietti (BMS), Kathryn Giles and Cynthia Baer (HS).

While the works reflect the students’ proficiency in using mixed media, clay, drawing (pencil or charcoal), pastel, stained glass and acrylic paint, they also reflect the themes and interests of the individual students.  Some themes reflect local and/or distant outdoor life, others show a student’s self-awareness, while others substantiate the student’s keen understanding of balancing light, color, and hues.  This exhibit provides a spectrum of creative experiences Rhinebeck Central School students in grades K through 12 are exposed to as they participate in Rhinebeck’s course offerings and learn about visual art with its multiple media.
