Atlanta museum features local students’ work 021710 oconee 3 Correspondent At the High Museum of Art in Atlanta, current exhibits include works by Leonardo da Vinci, famed Atlanta architect John Portman, acclaimed folk artist the Rev. For the third consecutive year, paintings, drawings and even clothing created by Oconee County students are on display in the High Museum’s Greene Family Education Center. North Oconee art teacher Cathi Mutimer, who spearheaded bringing local art to the museum three years ago, said the relationship between the museum and the schools began rather suddenly. I stayed after the trip to speak to the people at the museum, and we made arrangements to have our students’ work showcased. She added that the exhibit is restricted to Advanced Placement art students at the two public schools and Athens Academy students who are completing their senior portfolios. The work by the students has won critical notice and appreciation, and Mutimer hopes to be able to continue to help local students have their work displayed in such an august venue.
