Library Hosts Student Art Exhibit

The high school students of Hoboken Charter School are now famous artists, at least to anyone who visits the Hoboken Public Library. The library is currently hosting an exhibit of art created by students of the school.

The show features the work of ten tenth graders, 14 juniors and ten seniors.

Each of the grades used a different process to create their art. According to their teacher, Mira Septimus, the students each spent about three hours of class time to complete the project.

The sophomores created pencil drawings of celebrities. The juniors used acrylic paint on canvas to create portraits in the Cubist style made famous by Pablo Picasso. The seniors did something called typography, which is a collage of words.

“My students invested a tremendous amount of time, patience and process into their works, and I am very proud of each of them,” Septimus said.

The exhibit, on the second floor of the library, will last through the end of November.
