Exhibition
The National Gallery of the Cayman Islands (NGCI) presented works by art educators who taught within the art departments of public high schools across Grand Cayman. Representing John Gray High School, Clifton Hunter High School, and the Cayman Islands Further Education College, they came together in dialogue around the National Art Curriculum to illustrate how lesson plans are transformed into inspiring art projects.
The showcase demonstrated the various concepts and techniques that were introduced to students through the art curriculum, demonstrated here in their own work, and how they have followed instructions set for their students to expand their own personal portfolios. In keeping with the wide scope of the curriculum, the exhibition included a diverse range of art media and materials such as painting, sculpture, photography, video, and more.
