NCHS artists see the light in the new Eclipse gallery

Attention all NCHS art aficionados: the fall art gallery “Eclipse” opened on Thursday, Nov. 19 at 6 pm.

The gallery is meant to mirror that of an actual eclipse, an intense contrast between light and dark. Students involved with the gallery got the inspiration for their theme from Peter Kingsbury’s class, which created an installation called “Moon Hut”. “Moon Hut” will be featured in the boxed-off area of the gallery and consists of videos and photography that reflect different facets of night. The rest of the pieces in the gallery deviate from the dark nature of “Moon Hut” by celebrating light.

Sean Killelea, teacher at NCHS, described his classroom temperature, “It’s definitely warmer than last year. Last year, I would need to come in a parka and a knit hat…”
