AT SCHOOL by Kiel Torres

I can’t sit for too long. When I do, my mind begins whirring. I get rushes of hyperactivity where I want to sprint down the halls, spin until I’m dizzy, lie on the ground, turn over my desk and laugh until I can’t breathe. Although these overwhelming impulses lead me to question my sanity, it is equal parts exhilarating as frustrating. This state is somewhat destructive, but at the same time it is where my mind flourishes. It is where I thrive. It’s messy, imperfect, silly, and random, but I like it.

THE POINT GALLERY IS COMING!

The Point Gallery is a new art exhibition space at Point Grey Secondary that was developed to showcase student’s independent art practices!  The gallery is run by students for students.  Any student, no matter the age can have a show in our gallery.  The only criteria is that they have to show their own work, their own ideas.  Don’t show work that you did for a class or a tutor.  We want to celebrate your ideas! Your talent! Your creativity!  Application forms are available online or you can see Mr. Long for more information (dlong@vsb.bc.ca).

Check back frequently for updates on exhibitions, openings and other updates.

BREAKING POINT by Cosette Bote

The following pieces I’ve done represent the emotions I’ve been feeling lately that have escalated from me feeling calm, to feeling stressed out of my mind.
Beginning in my head, making its way through my body, ending with me wanting to rip my own skin off, I wanted to focus on the feeling of stress and frustration. Whether that frustration being at school, the issues happening around the world, my parents, myself, or just that distress of not having my daily espresso; stress and frustration is definitely what I’ve been finding myself feeling lately.

To Our Lost Childhood by Catherine Wang

This is a series of drawings I did that represent childhood memories.  Children can find interest in everyday things anywhere such as the huge tree or garbage bins that I drew in my pictures.  The strange thing is that as we grow older we cannot find these things at all  and it is hard to find these funny things in our imagination that mange to make us both happy and satisfied.  When we were children we could find happiness anywhere, even if it was only a garbage can.
