FIELD TWP – The assignment North Woods School visual arts teacher Rachel Betterley gave her students was fairly straightforward: Create a drawing using the techniques of famous artist Edward Hopper by using light to tell a story or compel a viewer to feel or think a certain way.
“Light is so important,” Betterley said. “It helps create dramatic effects. Whether they’re emphasizing a person’s face, or their body, or creating a certain ambience, mood or tone, light is what helps do that in their drawings.”
One of her students, senior Megan Cote, took the assignment in a much different direction from her peers, using the opportunity to shine her own light on the unsettling but real state of despair felt by elders in long-term care settings who have been trapped and cut off from their families and loved ones during the coronavirus pandemic.
