The artwork presented in the 2021 WPS Virtual Arts Festival was created throughout the 2020-2021 school year. Some artworks were created once students returned to in-person school in April, but most artworks you'll see here were created at home while students were learning remotely. Due to this, you will see a wide variety of artwork in this year's arts festival. Some work is fully realized and refined, while some work represents ideas that are still in process and may not be fully realized. While attending school remotely, our students have taken on much of the ownership of this process. We want to recognize the effort that students have made to create, photograph and share artwork without a teacher physically with them to assist. We also want to recognize the WPS art teachers who have adapted to a new and challenging situation and have found new ways to celebrate and share the work of the WPS students with the larger community.
