This=That Exhibition
MS 2-D Art
Main LIbrary
17 November-7 December 2022
Outside the Main Library you can enjoy the This=That photo series created by Middle School 2-D Art students.

Artists play. They play with ideas, color, line, texture, metaphor, shape, composition, pattern, rhythm, questions, scale, movement, and more.
Playing helps artists make sense of their world. The time spent playing allows for artists to notice patterns, develop questions, and determine priorities. It helps them sharpen their perceptions and awareness, test theories, and grow their imagination.
For their This=That project students played with concepts and conceptual elements to create connections between photographs. They started with the same four photographs, chose one, and then developed their own path forward. Students also tested and trialed image transfer, noticing how this technique responded to a variety of materials. The culmination of this project involved students selecting a pair of photos from their sequence for image transfer. They deliberately selected materials that would further support the concept they had developed in the photos.
You’re invited to visit the exhibition. Take time to look closely. Have a play. What might be the conceptual and compositional connections between their photos?
Note: Creating connections between seemingly unrelated things develops creativity.
The This=That project was inspired by the book, This=That, by Jason Fulford and Tamara Shopsin.
A huge thank you to Basil Tahan for sharing his insights, ideas, and expertise with our Middle School artists. And, of course, thank you to the amazing Khun MJ and Khun Neoy. This would not have been possible without them. We also really appreciate B&G’s support. Thank you!
