The Cedar Junior High Is displaying dis-playing a group of pictures and placques in the State Bank of Southern Utah lobby through April 18. These art works are choice pieces done by students while in the Junior High School. They have been presented to the school to enrich the permanent collection collec-tion acquired through the years from art exhibits and professional profession-al artists, according to Glen Anderson, An-derson, art instructor. As far as is known it is the only program of its kind where students are asked to participate and present their works for a permanent collection of this calibre. cali-bre. Student contributions were started two years ago by a couple cou-ple of ninth grade girls. Lynda Dawn Ence, whose painting "Mountain Spring", was done painstakingly after a careful study stu-dy of the subject, and Jeannie Jenson's warm, colored study of a desert studded with monument type formations typical of the area, was done with simplicity and blended rhythm. tu . r , . That initiated the program. Last year four oils were left with the school and fall into a category of studies in blue. There is variety, however, in the techniques tech-niques used and the views in the pictures. "Light House',, by Douglas Grimshaw was one in one sitting. He painted wet on wet and blended and darkened the tones of a still, blue grey, sea, accepted simply with whites and greens in the lighthouse. The mood created is one of loneliness loneli-ness but no meloncholy. In contrast Raymond Gardner's Gard-ner's "Sea Cliffs", bristles with sharp rocks , a gaunt tree and white crested waves. "October Mist", painted by Bryan Jorgen-sen, Jorgen-sen, is a small canvas that takes one to high mountains, a lake and dark pines with a splash of color against them. "Winter Lakes", presents deep snow blanketed shores that quiet one's thoughts to a feeling of anticipation antici-pation as water sweeps over a shallow waterfall. This is the work of Randy Shirts. The tile mosaic by Danny Yergensen portrays the flight of a heavy winked bird over a subdued sub-dued but clear cut landscape. The 19G6 assortment consists of two plaques and four paintings, paint-ings, two of which are the works of eighth graders. "The Shark" a wood plaque is the work of Pat Alajors and Stephen Ste-phen Anderson. "The Owl" is the work of Sherri Payne. An interesting mosaic has been created by Jerolyn Payne and Ja-niel Ja-niel Blake. Of varicolored rocks is called "Angel Fish." The oil paintings show great variety. "Desert Sunset", by Kathleen Heaton, in deep purples, shows the end of a day. Tall staffed Yucca blossoms like glowing tapers ta-pers accent the scene. In "Homestead", a small browned shanty rests near a hedge of trees contemplating the spaciousness around a big tree. This is the work of Lavora Hamilton. Ham-ilton. Larry Smith has created a good impression of towering peaks with the use of palatte knife in his "Snow Mountains'. "The Ram" is also a good piece in which Alelissa White- jj-wi1Wlnm?mfl .",rr.T:i .i, I v :: . "' 't ; -j :r-$&,s,r,vtf ',ri !:. ..,.
