to 5 p.m. business days, and the public is encouraged to see the student artwork as well as pieces done by art teachers, school officials said. Wenn used a decades-old student desk for his piece. He replaced the desk top with several skateboard decks (the deck is the board you stand on). He also used pieces of metal to symbolize barbed wire, chain made of plastic foam to evoke prisoner chains and other pieces of skateboard decks.
He painted a number of designs and scenes, including a graveyard and tombstones to reflect gunfight victims and a church topped with a cross. "I'm a Christian," he said. His grandfather helped him with sanding, installing screws and other assembly, Wenn said, adding that he worked on the project about 4 months. Wenn, who aspires to become a graphic design artist, said he plans to give the desk to his grandfather. Anthony Jackson, superintendent of Henry County Schools, stopped to look and complimented Wenn.
"I'm proud of you. This is awesome," Jackson said. Wenn, 18, is the son of Jerry and Melissa Harold of Bassett. Jessica Shelor, Wenn's art teacher at the high school, said Wenn's piece reminds her of when she felt confined, not being able to move around, years ago when she was a student. That's not the environment in her classroom today, where students move around and express themselves through their art, she said.
Another of Shelor's students, 11thgrader Christen Rorrer, created a ceramic piece she calls "Norbert the Playful Dragon." The blue and purple Norbert is lying on its back, with one of its wings and all four of its legs pointing skyward, and a blissful on its face. "It's playful. It looks like it's kicked back and relaxing," Shelor said. She said Christen did not choose the easy way of having the dragon lying on its stomach with feet on the ground. Parts of sculpture that are vertical are easily broken, Shelor explained.
"I just wanted to try something new and do something cute," said Christen. She said she started with balled up newspaper for the torso, covered it with clay and then constructed the rest of Norbert out of clay before glazing it. al Library, Church Street, Martinsville.

Christen, 17, is the daughter of Patsy Quinnan of Stanleytown a and Junior Rorrer of Collinsville. Diamond Deskins, a fourth-grader at Stanleytown Elementary School, drew a self-portrait using crayon and marker.
"I'm saying, 'Art rocks," she said of her image and words in the drawing. In the drawing, she is smiling, and one ofher fists is thrust overhead, surrounded by a ball of yellow, like an explosion. Diamond, the 10-year-old daughter of Mark and Angela Deskins, said she wants to be an artist when she grows up. Diamond said she likes "to draw and share emotions." In addition to drawing, she makes necklaces and does three-dimensional artwork, she and her family said. Michaela Dalton, 10, a fifth at Campbell Court Elementary School, did a mixed media self-portrait as part of a class assignment on an art technique called foreshortening, according to art teacher Stacy Moody.
"Foreshortening in a painting makes parts of an object or subject closest to you appear much larger relative to other parts," according to About.com. As Michaela explained her lead and colored pencil drawing, she had been in the air a few feet high, had released her balloon, which is about to be popped by a bumblebee, and is falling with her hands and feet closest to the ground. Her hands and feet are much larger than other parts of her body. She traced the flip-flops she was wearing the day she did the drawing and drew what they looked like underneath. She traced her hands and colored in the details.
She drew the rest of her body in smaller proportion, and put a smile on her face. She even drew the top she was wearing that day, one with smiley faces with the names of some of her friends. "I like drawing a lot. I like (to) color. It lets me get stuff out of my mind imagination, stuff like that," said Michaela, the daughter of Tammy and Michael Dalton of Bassett.
Michaela said she wants to be an actress when she grows up. Jackson said the exhibit is "an excellent display of student artwork, (reflect- tinsville.
