Washington library to display works by 6 area teachers through April

WASHINGTON — The Gibbs Library is set to present Art Teacher As Creator, an exhibit of works of art by six area art educators, at the 40 Old Union Road library.

Various works are on display during the Art Teacher As Creator show at Gibbs Library in Washington.

This show reflects the artistic expression of the professionals who give the children opportunity, encouragement and guidance in their own creative outpourings. Art teachers introduce materials, techniques, and structure, and also inspire students to experience creativity as an exploration and to convey meaning through objects and images, according to a news release from Patti Forster at the library.

The show will run through April.

A reception will be held from 6-7:30 p.m. Monday, April 3. Light refreshments will be served.

Teachers include:

• Sherry Casas, Prescott Memorial Elementary School, Union Elementary School, Friendship Village School and Rivers Alternative Middle School;

• Brooke Holland, Medomak Valley High School, photography;

• Anthony Lufkin, Miller School;

• Crystal Priestley, Warren Community School;

• Libbie Winslow, Medomak Middle School; and
