 Bemidji Middle School showed off their creative side of their students with their first ever art show. Lakeland News reporter Sherelle Moore has a look for this week's Golden Apple. Bemidji Middle School Science Fair attendees were bound to see some pretty cool projects during the event but this year guests were given a bonus treat as the BMS art show was happening simultaneously. We did it the same night as the science fair just because we knew there would be a lot of foot traffic and a lot of people in the building from the community so a lot of people would be able to see the art. The art show featured all different mediums from paper mache to acrylic watercolor and mixed media. Students were actually able to select what piece they wanted to have in the show so I let them choose what they were the most proud of and that's the piece that they have in the show. This one is whispers from below and I made it with some craft metal and some wood and it's more of like an abstract piece. It kind of looks like metal seaweed kind of. My inspiration for my art piece is that it's actually my future job ideas I actually want to be a news reporter when I'm older so I and I also love photography it's one of my favorite hobbies so I decided to make a piece related to both of those. This was the first ever art show at Bemidji Middle School and around 200 students had the opportunity to submit their work. There's a good chance that this art show could have another repeat in the future. All the students from first and second quarter have art here in the winter art show and then we plan on having another art show in the spring for third and fourth quarter students so everybody has an opportunity to show their work. The art show was deemed a hit. Not only did the pieces reach a wider audience but students also gained a few bonus benefits. It's kind of cool being a part of the first art show here especially with Miss Westie because I was in her class for a whole quarter here and it was just fun because I know her now and when I see her in the hallways I can just say hi and talk to her. It felt really good to show off all my art and get so much like so I can get everyone inspired to look at art in a different way and how pretty it can be.
