Very Impressive Trash






Our Youth Art Month Show, "Trash to Treasure" is hanging in the Jefferson Center in Roanoke. At the opening last Friday night, we heard many people say it was more exciting than they expected. These art teachers and students were inspired. We just hope our superintendents don't come and see what great art we can make with free stuff.

Pictured above are just a few samples: an impressive faux-bronze sculpture from objects and wire covered with panty hose and paint (Ciara Corrigan, Patrick Henry High); exotic spray-bottle birds with plastic fork feet (Susan Light, Grandin Court Elementary), a mural of squashed-can faced Roanoke characters (Chris Jones, Crystal Spring Elementary); a rendition of Vincent Van Gogh's Sunflowers (Teresa Worth, Hidden Valley Middle School); and white sculpture in boxes.

The show will be up until April 25 at the main floor of the Jefferson Center, 541 Luck Avenue in Roanoke.
