“The talented students from Floyd County High School have worked hard to contribute extraordinary artwork. This exhibit will reflect a semester of work from Art I, Drawing II, Crafts, Painting, and Sculpture classes,” said Kimberly Ingram, art teacher. “Sarah and I think everyone who sees the exhibit will be amazed at the creativity.”
“Floyd County is a wonderful place for students to develop their artistic abilities. Student field trips to the Jax and other local art venues, as well as visits from community artists, have inspired students and stimulated their creativity,” said Sarah McCormick, art teacher. “Many thanks to those who have given time for the students of Floyd.”
