Several artists including Mr. Rosage, participated in the "Painting Violins" project to raise money for the JHS Orchestra Department. The violins brought in over $1200 through auction bids at their 2016 Gala. Joli Brooks and the Friends of the Cardinal Orchestras were gracious enough to donate half of the proceeds to the JHS Visual Arts Department. Thank you!
Title: Drizzle Painting #1 in the style of Jackson Pollock
Artists: Christian Ahlmark and Roman Gill Christian Ahlmark… My name is Christian Ahlmark and I am a rising senior at Jacksonville High School. I create art, not for any sort of profit, but simply to create. I love creating because of the freedom I feel, and this project really had no boundaries; so I loved it. Roman Gill… I love art because it has always been something that can help relieve stress and create happiness in not just me but all people who enjoy my work. I also love art because I love creating stuff! Title: Starry Night after Vincent Van Gogh
