HOPART 2022

As a Hopkinton High School alumna, I was so honored to be asked to be the juror for this year’s HopArt magazine. While it’s been just a few years since I had the privilege to be included as an artist, I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to study the current work. Choosing 55 works to be selected took me hours because each work submitted provided something different for me to feel or think about. Congratulations to everyone who submitted work and congratulations to those who were selected - you are all quite the talented group.

The arts programs at Hopkinton High School have personally set me up for success in my career, and it’s quite clear to me from this year’s submissions that the programs and talent are stronger than ever. From photography to digital art to 3D, the array of talent in every discipline continually impressed me and how talented the artists get every year is equally as impressive. In the last few years where uncertainty waits for us around every corner, I’m truly inspired by the resilience in this class of artists and thankful they allowed us to take a peek into their minds and souls with what they’ve created.

I’m particularly drawn to several things in this collection: compositions and color. This group has such a strong eye for how a story can be told, how to execute an idea, and weave color in where they feel it’s necessary (and in some cases, it isn’t). This type of creative problem solving at a young age is vital to figuring out an increasingly complex world. I love the range of artwork submitted: navigating a post-COVID world, snapshots of everyday moments we take for granted like catching a fleeting sunset, and abstract paintings that are up to our interpretation for its meaning. These vignettes are all relatable in their own way; but beg us to think about what this particular moment meant to the artist or what they were thinking when creating their sculpture or painting. The minds of teenagers and artists are separately and equally complicated, but when combined, present an unique challenge of trying to figure out what the world means to these talented students.

Kudos to this group of students for producing such thought provoking and visually stunning pieces. Once again, I am deeply grateful that I was able to be the juror of this year’s collection. The level of craft and thoughtfulness shown here is just a glimpse into the way this group of students will shape the world around them - and us.
