An Artastic! Exhibit

CEBU, Philippines - The spotlight was on 16 very young artists at the opening of the 2nd student art exhibit of “Artastic!” at the first floor lobby of the Banilad Town Center (BTC) recently.

“Artastic!” highlighted the imaginative and creative works of Artastic! Art Enrichment Program students Tia, Jazz, and Zoe Rosengrave, Hyun-Seo Lee, Mayella Selma, Skyler Cuenco, Sophie Chiongbian, Zuri Anzani, Ariana Gonzalez, Dior Gothong, Izzie and Kirsten Morissey, Ed and Eve Onglatco, Luke Sarmiento and Ieia Valenzuela.

According to teacher Hannah Martinez, creator of Artastic!, “the exhibit’s inspiration comes from different art movements, the life and work of different artists throughout the history of art such as: Joan Miro, Andy Warhol and Pacita Abad, as well as cultures from around the world.”

Everyday items were transformed into unique works of art. Bright colors and the kids’ creativity set this exhibit apart from the rest. A Warhol Wall, an ode to Andy Warhol, the pioneer of Pop Art was an added attraction.

The Artastic! program encourages children to explore and learn about the world of art through the use of watercolor and acrylic painting, drawing, mixed media, and crafts.
