Students Display Creativity At LMFA Invitational Art Show By GLENN EVANS, Teenagers rarely reveal themselves, but give them a
brush and some canvas and look out. A baker's dozen of the "Art represents an easel, and expression, of
what they think about and what they find amazing or hope for," said Dr.
David Brown, a Board member Jack Barkley, a "The whole purpose (of the show) from an
educational standpoint is to let these kids know that self expression is a
way of growing," he said. "Once you know what your self expression
is, you have a path for life." Barkley and other pros are helping the young
artists create culinary centerpieces for a fundraiser that kicks off the
annual show. Toast of the Town (Barkley is the Toastmaster, get it?) asks the
teens to come up with dishes featuring that old stand-by, toast. Teen artist Austyn
Pilgrim, whose graphic design and abstract art are included in the show, was
undaunted by the prospect of switching creative gears to the crunchy side. "I just know we have to come up with things
along the lines of having toast in it," the Trinity School of Texas
senior said. "There has to be a connection or something or other with
toast." She has learned, though, that art is about
expression no matter what the medium. "You can use art in music form, you can do it
by taking pictures," she said. "Most people who become chefs,
that's how they express their creativity. **** PINE TREE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
