Trey Everett has been serving as the “Artist in Residence” for Crookston High School and his work with the students will culminate in a ‘Word Art’ display. 
There will be projects from both art classes as well as a couple of collaborative efforts by English students on their current areas of study.
“One class has been reading ‘1984,’ so you’ll see an image with all these phrases from the book,” said Everett. “At first from a distance, you’ll see different images from birds to symbols, a variety of images. Once you closer you’ll see the images are made up of words and numbers that have to do with the image.”
Each of the students in the art class chooses their own image to create such as eighth-grader Gavin Winger’s dirt bike. “I did my dirt bike because I have one and passion for driving it,” said Winger. “And I have brands, CCs, and details of my bike in [my art].”
The art will be on display tonight in the high school commons beginning at 5:30 p.m. through the girl’s basketball game. Everett’s residency was made possible through a grant from the Northwest Minnesota Arts Council.
