ELKTON â The Cecil County Public Schools (CCPS) annual Winter Art Show continued in a virtual form, presenting 150 pieces of student art ranging from elementary to high-schoolers. Parodies of classic works, like The Scream, to scenes of nature, and colorful modern abstract pieces showcased student artistsâ creativity, despite the challenges of the pandemic.
âTo have this happen, without needing to be in a physical space was a highlight of my year,â said Jennifer Fox, a teacher in CCPS for 20 years. âA lot of the other art things are all gone. And I live for this stuff.â
Fox, a teacher at Elkton High-School, said the Winter Art Show is important to build studentsâ enthusiasm for art by exposing their work to a larger audience. She discussed how one former student, Han Tran, made a pencil drawing of Jesus for one art show that went viral on Instagram.
