The Friends of Virginia’s Governor’s Schools (FOVGS) 2012 Capitol Art Show is on display at the General Assembly Building in Richmond through March 16.
The FOVGS has promoted the show as a means of exhibiting the artistic talents of all Governor’s School students throughout the state and to facilitate opportunities to enlighten and engage legislators about the Virginia Governor’s School Program. This year’s show was expanded to include over 80 student works from 10 Governor’s Schools in a variety of media including: charcoal, pencil, marker and pen and ink drawing; chalk pastel; acrylic, water color, and oil painting; digital photography; computer graphic and ink jet prints; mixed-media; fabric art; cut paper and wood; and scratchboard.
Four Chesapeake Bay Governor’s School (CBGS) students have work in this year’s show, which is open to the public during regular business hours. From the Glenns site, John Shaw, a senior from Middlesex County, is exhibiting a pencil sketch titled “Sailing the Chesapeake W.”
From the Warsaw site, Jenny Latane, a senior from Westmoreland County, is exhibiting a scratchboard work titled “Cricket.”
From the Bowling Green site, Zach Gotschalk, a senior from Caroline County, is exhibiting a mixed media acrylic and spray paint work titled “Evolve,” and Jax Ross, a junior from King William County, is exhibiting a pencil sketch titled “Lady Nature.”
