After a year spent raising money for it, students in the Art Travel Club enjoyed the fruit of their labour in San Francisco during spring break.

SA国际影视传媒�It was very busy, but a good busy,SA国际影视传媒� said Chrissy Hvatum, one of the students in the club.

The group, run by art teacher Alexandra Winchester, took in all matter of artistic events while down south.

They did glassblowing in Whitehorse, visited Alcatraz, checked out art museums, learned about art school opportunities and even took in a sailboat ride.

SA国际影视传媒�It was a lot of fun to expose them to different things that are not part of everyday life here,SA国际影视传媒� said Winchester.

SA国际影视传媒�Most of them had flown places before, but I donSA国际影视传媒檛 think any of them had been on a train before. We had a 50-foot sailboat all to ourselves and that was new to everybody.SA国际影视传媒�

The sailboat was used as an opportunity to do some sunset photography.

After the trip, during parent-teacher conferences, students filled the schoolSA国际影视传媒檚 main lobby with all of the art projects they completed during the year.

HvatumSA国际影视传媒檚 favourite was her pottery work. She hopes to pursue more of it in the future.

SA国际影视传媒�Our students are quite creative,SA国际影视传媒� said Winchester.

On display were watercolour paintings, murals, blown glass, ceramics and more. There were also projects sponsored by the Inuvialuit Regional Corporation.

SA国际影视传媒�This is just a way to showcase the broad range of artistic talents that our students have and the creativity that they have,SA国际影视传媒� said Winchester.

Besides the pop art pieces, her favourite type of art, Winchester loved the murals, as they were made from recycled material in the school.

SA国际影视传媒�I love seeing something that was meant for the dump being tuned into something that can now be on display for years to come,SA国际影视传媒� she said.

The Art Travel Club arranges a trip every two years for high school students. It went to San Francisco in 2015 and London, England, in 2013.
