This year’s Mary Ward art show had the theme, EccentricK. I was surprised by the whole outcome of the art show. While the art work was being set up, I didn’t expect everything to be that great. I was definitely proven wrong when it was complete. This the second year I have experienced an art show at Mary Ward, and I have to admit that the school is filled with many talented and creative students. I was especially impressed by all the art work the senior students created. They definitely inspire me to continue taking art. There were many interesting art pieces that I saw, and I wish I had the chance to take a picture of all of them.

This year I took two art courses (visual arts and communications technology), so I contributed a great amount of my time for the set up and security during the art show. I spent most of my time exploring, and admiring the art work displayed throughout the basement, for the duration of the week.

I really enjoyed the films created by the seniors, particularly, “Like a Star”. The story line was very touching, and the acting was tremendous. They should really consider the film industry. Besides the films, my favorite art piece was dress created by Danielle Roche. It was beautifully made, and I could actually imagine myself buying a dress like that. The whole display and background caught my attention. It is evident that she truly enjoys art, and her hard work is really evident. I wish I had half the originality and imagination that she has.

I am sad that I will not be a part of the art show next year, because I won’t be taking any art course. After seeing all the impressive and unique art pieces, it makes me reconsider my decision. EccentricK was definitely a success!
