SILVER TEA and ART EXHIBIT One of the highlights of Education Week in Altona was the Silver Tea and Art Exhibit held on March 12th at the Collegiate. This event was planned and carried out by the students and staff. The auditorium was very cleverly decorated with a large silver tea service pictured on the south wall and gay red and white lattice work which separated the art exhibit from the area where the tea was being served. The wives of faculty and school board members presided at the tea table during the afternoon. The art exhibit, a collection of thirty paintings by Lionel LeMoine FitzGerald, was loaned to the Collegiate, for the occasion, by the Win¬ nipeg Art Gallery. Dr. Ferdinand Eckhardt, the director 5 of the Winnipeg Art Gallery, was there in person to comment on and describe the tech¬ niques used in the various, paintings. FitzGerald, “Manitoba’s own artist,” was one of the Group of Seven and is considered to be among Canada’s top painters. He painted many prairie scenes such as “Prairie Sky” and still-life pictures such as “Apples on a plate.” The very simplicity of the pictures in many cases made people ask, “What is so wonderful about that?” Dr. Eckhardt explains, “Great artists try to ex¬ press themselves in the simplest way.” FitzGerald also did some modernistic painting in his later years. These intrigued many people who could not understand why the artist would paint a seemingly meaningless abstract landscape. Dr. Eckhart explained that the painting had a symbolic meaning which was not always apparent at the first glance. One must spend time trying to understand paintings just as one spends time on other forms of art such as music and literature. The Art Exhibit certainly proved to be an interesting and colorful addition to our Education Week program. It is to be hoped that in years to come our Collegiate will continue to introduce new and varied projects when observing Educa¬ tion Week — thus preserving the essence of progress in education.
