Among the many art education initiatives at The San Diego Museum of Art, no program has as long a history as Young Art, the Museum’s biennial youth art exhibition.
Young Art recognizes the talents of San Diego County K-12 students and in its 44th presentation, Young Art 2017: Beyond the Ordinary, invites students to create their own unique interpretation of the classic still life. This year’s theme is inspired by the remarkable collection of still life works from the Museum’s permanent collection, including works by Henri Matisse, and Juan Sánchez Cotán, and Georges Braque.
Young Art reporter Ella Falvo takes us on a behind the scenes look at the opening reception of Young Art 2017: Beyond the Ordinary.
