Accomplished Artists at Amityville High School
Three students at Amityville Memorial High School have been recognized for their artistic abilities.
Seniors Sarah Isaac and Tereza Perez were accepted into the For the Love of Art Foundations program at Adelphi University, taught by accomplished figurative artists. During the 10-week intensive program, the students will have three hours of studio time each week to focus on their drawing. It provides high school juniors and seniors a chance to expand their skills while building their portfolios. At the conclusion of the program, there is a reception with an exhibit featuring student work.
Sarah and junior Aleyna Kokoglu had their work accepted into the Advanced Visions 14 art exhibition for high school artists of excellence. Two students per high school in Advanced Placement, International Baccalaureate or Portfolio Art classes were selected. The show runs through Jan. 24 at the Student Art League Gallery, B. Davis Schwartz Memorial Library at LIU Post, with a reception on the final day.
Aleyna, Sarah and Tereza all are students of art teacher Jayne Grasso.
