Community partnerships and involvement are essential to the fine arts program in Ogden School District. We believe that well-rounded people can appreciate art in all of its forms. Students explore art in elementary and further develope their skills in secondary. At the high school level, they can choose many different media types to explore as discover more about themselves and art.

Ben Lomond Art Friday Art Stroll at Union Station in April
Ben Lomond High School students enrolled in WSU, Art1010 created a piece of art based on the questions, "If you were to make a piece of art to help the world right now process and work through what we are experiencing, what would you create?" While reading the text, Living with Art, Tenth Edition as part of their course work, students are exploring the why behind art, how art has changed over time and what purpose art has in life. This show is a synthesis of what students have digested from their text, processed during this time, and is a window into what the artists think others need to see and potentially ponder. Each piece has a unique artist statement, in hopes that the audience will engage with each artist's body of work. Students only had two months to create each piece. As you engage with the show we ask you to think about what you would create?
