Art Show
It's time for our annual Art Show, which showcases the creativity of our students, ages three to fifteen! Students explore a variety of media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, and more. Join us to celebrate their unique and beautiful creations!
Celebrating Young Artistic Talents
One of the most remarkable features of the TRIS Annual Art Show is that we display every student's artwork, from preschool to junior high. Even our youngest artists present a beautiful array of skills, imagination, and materials/techniques in their creations. From a quick, spontaneous burst of creativity to a thoroughly planned long-term art project such as weaving, needlepoint, or a bead mosaic, each of our students is acquiring art skills and learning to express their original ideas and build their stamina and self-confidence. This level of fine motor skills and concentration at such a young age is a norm in our school because all our students have a strong foundation that Montessori classrooms provide and a unique art program that focuses on the individual needs of every student.
When you attend the Art Show reception, ask your children about their work and the process, meet your children's art teachers, and look at all the art displayed at the gallery. If the Reception time is a bit overwhelming for you and your children to observe and enjoy the art, please come again at a different time. The Art Show will be open until June 8.

________________________
The TRIS Annual Art Show is a cherished tradition that celebrates the creativity, imagination, and artistic growth of our students. Each year, this event showcases a wide range of inspiring artwork, reflecting the dedication and passion behind our fine arts education.
Our students’ artwork—both individual pieces and collaborative projects—reflects their exploration of key Fine Art principles, including composition, color theory, form, and various techniques. Through guided instruction and hands-on experience, they learn to express their ideas with intention and skill. Each piece is thoughtfully selected to showcase the student’s personal vision and their growth as young artists.
At TRIS, we believe that art is a powerful way to express feelings and connect with others. It allows our students to communicate from the heart and share something meaningful with the world.
We are proud to share this special exhibition with our school community and hope you are as inspired by these young artists as we are.
We look forward to welcoming you!
