Artistic Expressions in Seal Cove


3/10/2008 2:07:24 PM


Students seem to be enjoying the new atmosphere at Seal Cove campus’ library due to the infusion of over 30 new pieces of visual art.

College of the North Atlantic’s (CNA) Seal Cove campus library has recently partnered with local Conception Bay South school, Queen Elizabeth Regional High, to bring local culture and artwork to the library walls.

Organized by CNA librarian Andrea Hyde, and Queen Elizabeth art teacher Valerie Tubman, the collaboration has resulted in the addition of over 30 art pieces to the library; they bring animation, sophistication and inspiration to the learning space. The art pieces showcase student talent from Queen Elizabeth’s current art classes, and also highlight student work from the past 25 years.

Based on the positive results seen in the library, the Seal Cove campus Adult Basic Education (ABE) classroom has also recently entered into the project. The ABE room now proudly boasts four original art pieces from Queen Elizabeth’s talented students.

This joint venture will soon be recognized at the Seal Cove campus with an art show. The event will celebrate students’ artistic talent, and will provide information on the many arts programs offered through College of the North Atlantic.

The art pieces will be exhibited at the Seal Cove campus for the remainder of the year, and a continued partnership is anticipated to allow for the exchange of art pieces for many years to come!
