As we begin the spring semester, all of our team members at the CVA are very excited about the new exhibitions that will be going up in the next few months. The current exhibition that is on display is titled Under the Guillotine, comprised of an impressive collections of James Gilray’s political cartoons as well as fellow contemporary counterparts, Chris Dacre, Molly Crabapple and Deb Sokolow.

The Young Apprentices will be focusing on how to convey a message through art, particularly focusing on cartoons and the creative devices used by cartoonists, satirists, and illustrators in general. We will be developing technical skills with various media such as collage, painting, and printmaking. The technical skills with the various media will develop in conjunction with teaching the apprentices how to analyze art, how to critique art and how they can convey their personal message through an array of artistic styles.

We are very excited to have everyone back and will keep our Weebly updated as we further our exploration of art at the CVA!
