Capturing Creativity from a New Generation of Artists

For more imaginative artwork from teenage artists, ranging from paintings to drawings to ceramics, browse the #highschoolart hashtag.

“The #highschoolart hashtag on Instagram is a big collaboration board,” says Suzy Smith, a high school art teacher in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. “I check it to see what types of projects other schools do.” Her class has its own account, @lsw_art, where she posts exceptional student artwork and photos of their weekly assignments-in-progress. To protect their privacy, Suzy does not identify the young artists by name.

“So often, teens are controlled in their environment to only produce things within specific guidelines. With art, they are provided options, are encouraged to think outside of the box and really, live outside of the typical limitations that school normally requires of them,” Suzy says. “In a large school, it’s easy to get tucked away in a corner without a lot of visibility. So Instagram is a visual newsletter for parents and students.”
