Sophomore Emily Snow will host an art show and exhibit entitled "A Journey of Art: Family History as Inspiration and Education" on Wednesday, November 15, from 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. in the Upper School Art Gallery. Her exhibit will be on display from November 13 - 17.

The exhibit is part of her IB Middle Years Program (MYP) Personal Project, a required, yearlong, mentored project completed by all tenth-graders to demonstrate their abilities as independent learners, thinkers, communicators, and risk-takers.

Ms. Snow describes her project as a "walk through art history from 1910-2006." She explains, "Inspired by many generations of female artists in my family, I decided to pursue my love of painting. Under the guidance of my grandmother, an artist, I created a portfolio of my paintings. I also traced the history of art in my family dating back five generations."

Her Personal Project is mentored by Middle School art teacher Alice Ballard.
