The result of years of collaboration between art teachers Laura Lee D’Huyvetter and Jennifer Jones, “Inspired” is an exhibition featuring works by Clarke County students from kindergarten through 12th grade alongside works by the professionals who inspired them. It features all types of media, including weaving, sculpture, photography, painting, drawing and collage. To kickstart the project, the two teachers connected with local artists and asked them to make videos detailing their backgrounds, artworks and creative processes, which students then used to produce works for this exhibition and its accompanying book. The opening event will also include performances from Clarke Central High School Honor Chamber Strings and Cedar Shoals High School Chamber Strings. “Inspiration” is dedicated to longtime, venerated Clarke County art teacher Leonard Piha, and it will be on display through Jan. 18.
