High School Showcases Student, Alumni Art
Featuring music, jewelry, graphic arts, hula-hoops and drawing, the "Art Happening" celebrated a variety of artistic expressions.
Commack High School students showed off their creations at the school's "Art Happening" event on Monday night.
The show, which was held in the entryway of the school, featured live music, painting and drawing, graphic art demonstrations, jewelry, hula-hoops and much more. Handmade ceramic mugs were sold at the event, and all the proceeds raised went directly to the David Zoller Art Scholarship Fund.
Among the jewelry, graphic arts displays and interactive painting and drawing areas were tables selling refreshments. More than a dozen displays of student artwork stretched down the hallway for guests to gaze upon.
