For the 2008 edition of the River Review, the art staff chose to follow the same themes and patterns identified by our monthly literary contests. We looked for and organized selected pieces that reflect brevity, love and emotions, and a swift or sudden change. I was honored to head such a good staff: junior Victoria Addison, photographer and music editor, and sophomore Jasmine Mason as my assistant. I also want to recognize all of the hard work that was created not only by all the artists presented in River Review 2008, but also by those not represented. GPS art students are so talented, and it was an honor for me to be a part of the difficult task of selecting a few to feature. Please enjoy the slide shows while appreciating both the sights and sounds GPS artists have produced.

Brevity

    Lets be brief and concise here. The beauty of brevity is shown in many different elements. Speech, art, and nature often create the most impact when simple and concise. The AP Art students at GPS have this art mastered.

Passion

    Passion is an emotion with meanings that go beyond the word love. Passion is an extream that can mean distress, sorrow, tranquillity, a love, and even contentness. Look for that passion that each student has put into their work.

Change

   For some, change is a scary thing. However, we all know that change is inevitable, except perhaps from a vending machine. To match our short story entries, a slide show of AP Art that portrays a shift can be viewed.
