There will be an art show at the Martha’s Vineyard Bank Chilmark branch until March 27 featuring sixth grade artists from the West Tisbury School. According to a press release, the style of the paintings will be reminiscent of the artist Holton Rower. The Holton Rower style enabled students to pour various colors of “paint upon paint” over constructed material of wood shapes. “This is a fun project for this age,” Lisa Magnarelli-Magden, West Tisbury art teacher, said. “We watched some videos of Holton Rower making his art, then the kids made small structures from wood scraps or recyclables, chose paint colors from a donation I received from Ace Hardware, and poured. It was a two-class project, and had a two-week dry time. Kids loved this project. They did an amazing job.” Stop by the Martha’s Vineyard Bank Chilmark branch during regular business hours to admire the student artwork.
