The “I Teach Art” exhibit at the Old Dome Meeting Hall (1452 W. 12600 South) featured art educators in the community. The show allowed the artists to display their talents and highlight their unique creations in a variety of mediums. 

Ivie Erickson, Bingham High School art educator and vice-principal intern, said the “Maggie” and “Cold Morning” entries were inspired by nature and being outdoors. In the description of the pieces, Erickson wrote, “Being in the trees and out in the wilderness is something that has always been a passion of mine…It is my hope that others can find the same passion for the outdoors and nature conservation.”

Dozens of art pieces were displayed for two weeks in September as a recognition for the work of art educators in local schools. 

South Jordan Middle School educator Carly Coles designed a ceramic lidded jar. She wrote in her description, “I like to work in the ceramic medium because of its never-ending ability to be reformed and reshaped.”

The whimsical “Zebulon” ceramic zebra head was created by Ellice Taylor from Copper Hills High. She wrote, “The process of shaping clay into a realistic depiction requires a blend of artistic vision and technical skills, a challenge that I find both invigorating and fulfilling.”

Currently, the Old Dome Meeting Hall is hosting the All-State High School Art Show, featuring art created by teens across the state. The show highlights 105 pieces (from 1,093 submissions) that were selected by a panel of professional artists and arts administrators and will be displayed at the exhibit. The exhibit runs through Wednesday, Oct. 30, and is open Monday through Wednesday, from noon to 5 p.m. λ
