Bellcate students are busy creating amazing, original work in the art studio and in their classes. Pottery, 3-D printing, paintings, pinatas, and custom-printed apparel are just a few examples. There are no limits to what the students can dream up.
This semester, in addition to drawing, painting, pottery, and 3D printing, students have the opportunity to engage in animation and game design as well as utilize our laser engraver/cutter to create one-of-a-kind works of art. Please ask your student what they have been working on in the studio. They may surprise you with some neat project ideas and some funny stories to boot.
Bellcate Student – Artist Spotlight, RJ.
RJ is a prolific artist who sketches his ideas daily. He is known for his experimental style with a strong work ethic and follow-through on technically challenging pieces. He has learned to change his problem-solving approach depending on the media. Most recently he designed and made a custom pottery mug as a gift (above).
One of his ceramic pieces (below) was shown at the ArtHop in Burlington last fall and was subsequently purchased, making RJ a bonafide working artist. Congratulations RJ!
In addition to his efforts in the studio and at school, RJ works at a local grocery store helping customers. In his spare time, RJ enjoys his pets, gaming, and spending time with friends.
