Opening Reception, Thurday, March 4th 6-8pm
SHAPE is proud to annually host Shippensburg Area High School's advanced placement art students. This years exhibit titled "Investigations" features artwork of Joile Duhon, Carla Brighton and Anna Wolfe. Each year SHAPE opens it's gallery to the students as a learning opportunity for them to get a taste of the art world outside of school. Some of the things they do are, prepare the publicity materials, install the show, plan & prepare the opening reception and work at the gallery during open hours.
Meet this years artists...

Jolie Duhon
Art means everything to me. I have loved art since I was very small, but it was not until high school that I decided that it was to become my life. Every piece of artwork that I create is an extension of my soul. For me, Art provides a way to express thoughts and emotions that I cannot express with words alone. I have been admitted to Shippensburg University as an Art/Secondary education major, and will start in the fall of 2010. With this education, it is my hope that I will be able to transfer my love of art to future students and teach them to the best of my abilities how to become better artists.

Carla Brighton
I enjoy being creative. I love art because it allows me to be creative and decide on my own how I would like to express myself. I believe that there is no certain way to do art, it is a personal matter and anything can be considered art if it has creativity. I have always liked drawing since I was a little girl, and I started by drawing characters in my favorite cartoons I would watch. I am always keeping myself busy whether with school, art, or cheerleading. I am planning on attending Shippensburg University. I am leaning towards graphic design as my major, but I am still undecided. |
Anna Wolfe
I am very passionate when it comes to the arts. I took to visual arts at a very young age. My mother homeschooled my siblings and I till 5th grade. She used to paint and I wanted to be just like her. In high school I enrolled in art classes as a sophomore. I learned in these classes to look at art in an entirely different light. In the summer I was accepted to go to The Governors’ School of Excellence for the Arts—a life changing program that inspired me to make art my life. Here I learned that being an artist is not just being talented, but viewing the world in a different way, enterprising and redefining it. I plan to pursue a career in the arts, and o to college for that. Art has had a profound impact on my life, the way I view the world, and has helped to shape my future.
