Students at Glenville High School have been working on a showcase in celebration of Black History Month. The Black Excellence Program will highlight their visual and performing arts creations.
For the last several weeks, students at Glenville High School have been working on a visual and performing arts showcase as part of a celebration of Black History Month.“Art allows you to tell a story. Sometimes, with our students, they may not be as verbally expressive, but when you give them the range to do what it is that they feel comfortable doing they’re able to develop that story and that character for themselves,” said Tamara Barkley, an educator at Glenville High School.
Barkley added, “To encourage students not only to recognize their talents and successes of those who’ve come before them, but also to inspire them! That they too are capable. That they too are destined for greatness. They are Black excellence.” “She kind of planted that seed for me. She taught me the basics, and I kind of grew with it and kind of got the hang of it. Every picture I captured, I grew with it.”“One of the things I was inspired by was the Zulu tribe, the African Zulu Tribe,” Carter said. “I was inspired by the many colors and shapes and different patterns. With the women, depending on their status, they would wear different colors and different patterns and that kind of stood out to me.
