The James Logan Courier

By Jericho Faustino, Courier Staff Writer

An art show featuring works by Logan students and sponsored by the Art Association of the East Bay, ended at Century Theatres in Union Landing last week.

A rack standing on the left side of the concession stands at the 25 screen theater held 105 works of art created by students of James Logan High School. Plenty of abstract work and more lined the portable metal frame that held the art. The beautiful black and white penned drawings, and multi-colored animals like Diego Rojas' burning red phoenix in "As Birds Fly, So Do Our Dreams," and beautiful metal plate carvings like Daniel Nunez' "Golden Gate"�, beckoned curious movie goers to take a look at some of James Logan's artist art work.

Colorful paintings like Kimberley Truong's fox in "The Useless Fox," and numerous others highlighted the back of the art wall, while others like the beautiful painting of Oscar Barragan, were shown on the front. The artwork ranged from oil paintings, to colored pencils, to pen drawings, to digital prints, and metal carvings.

Small groups of movie goers kicked back at the tables next to the art wall, where James Logan junior Beau Guardado, sat with a friend, Logan Junior Brandon Orias, admiring the craftsmanship of the paintings.

"It was cool, I think some of their stuff looked like it was 3-D,"� said Beau Guardado, "the drawings were so detailed, they looked cool. These artist are very talented. I know some of these artist, and I never would have known how truly artistic they where. These guys are really good."

"The art is very exquisite," said Brandon Orias, "Many where abstract and detailed, and I was surprised how talented these students are. I wish I had that kind of talent."

The featured artwork were all created by current art students from James Logan High School.
