The CHALKBOARD<br />
McLaurin High<br />
The McLaurin High School art department is a vibrant,<br />
special part of the MHS community and gives students<br />
a space to express their creativity and hone their artistic<br />
skills. For the past four years, the department has<br />
cultivated and executed a relatively new annual event<br />
for the community titled “Night of the Arts.” This event<br />
serves as a showcase for the work students have<br />
created throughout the year as well as an opportunity<br />
for families in the community to enjoy performances by<br />
the talents of the McLaurin band and theater<br />
departments. This year’s event will take place on<br />
Thursday, April 18th, at MHS.<br />
In addition to enriching the culture on campus,<br />
McLaurin’s chapter of the National Arts Honor Society<br />
recently took a field trip to the Mississippi Museum of<br />
Art to view the celebrated exhibit “Picasso Landscapes:<br />
Out of Bounds.” Here, students were able to delve<br />
deep into discussions about Picasso’s work and the<br />
motivations behind it. These opportunities for students<br />
to grow as young artists would not be possible without<br />
the dedication and leadership of McLaurin’s art<br />
teachers Mrs. Lindsay Pecou and Mrs. Lydia Herd.<br />
