Student Artwork Honors 'City by the Sea'

Long Beach Middle School students were recognized for the artistic talents and creativity that they expressed through an exhibit titled, “Deputies of the Sea.”

A series of nautical prints and repousse on foil were created in the art room and was later displayed in foyer of Long Beach City Hall. The City Council honored the students by presenting them with proclamations.

Members of the National Jr. Honor Society and Art Club, along with eighth-grade art class participants, developed the spectacular pieces under the direction of Middle School Art Teacher Laura Swan who was assisted by National Jr. Honor Society club advisors Jillian Fernandez and Nicole Vesheo. Students Amanda Donnelly, Jaclyn Javakian and Emma Herbert assisted Swan in curating the show.

The featured prints depicted ocean and beach scenes as a way to honor the young artists’ pledge to the sea front community.
