The public was invited to the First Annual High School Art Show at the Museum of the San Rafael on Nov. 20. Featuring The Emery High School Art Class under the direction of artist Mike Royall. The Emery High School Art Class’s artwork is on display to support our local talent. The Art Show will be on display at the Museum of the San Rafael until January 2015.
Mike Royall artist and high school art instructor stated 80 percent of the high school students in the class this year had never tried painting art, before this term. Most of the paintings on display from the class were watercolors.
Chase Fausett from Huntington, the son of Brett and Marlene Fausett, is a Sterling Scholar in Mike Royall’s painting class. Chase paints in several mediums and styles and is proud of all of his work on display.
