Athens Area High School senior student Allyson Rockwell was inspired to organize a gift of art to the residents at Elderwood nursing home in Waverly, NY. She wanted to provide a time of brightness and encouragement during the holiday season when so many are not able to receive visitors from their families.
Allyson announced to each class that she was collecting art. Some students made holiday cards and some made seasonal themed watercolor paintings. Some students in Advanced Drawing & Painting made masterworks that the Rockwell family then had published into art prints to distribute to the residents at Elderwood.
For her own print design, Allyson exercised the digital painting skills she has been developing in art class and Athens Area High School junior student Arin Rockwell made an acrylic painting.
