The annual Teacher to Student exhibit showcases works of art that students and teachers of Reston Community Center's visual arts programs have created over the past year in a variety of mediums, including acrylic, oil, watercolor, oil pastel, Chinese Brush Painting, collage, stained glass, and pencil. In the 3-D Gallery, teachers and students of ceramic, sculpture and other 3-dimensional arts programs are displaying their work until the end of August. Collaboration is paramount to the learning experience and these works reveal the two-way process of students and teachers exchanging ideas, expanding creativity and having fun.
Please join us on May 5 for an opening reception with light refreshments.

Hunters Woods Exhibit: |
May 2013
A Passion for Art
Paintings and Photographs by Brian Menish
Exhibit Dates: May 2 through June 13
Location: Community Room, RCC Hunters Woods
On July 7, 2007, after his senior year at Herndon High School, Brian Menish was in a motorcycle accident and suffered a traumatic brain injury. The horrific, left-brain injury made it highly unlikely that Brian would survive, let alone ever walk or talk again. After years of intensive physical, speech and occupational therapy, Brian not only survived, but he now has regained the ability to walk and participate in nearly every activity of a typical 24-year old male.
The exception is that Brian's left-brain injury resulted in the loss of use of his right hand, which – prior to his accident – he used to draw, paint and sculpt. But Brian's determination to live and thrive also allows him to continue creating the art he loves. His commitment to his craft is evidenced by his learning to paint once again – with his left hand. "Art is the one thing that will always be a part of my life, regardless of my circumstances," said Brian.
Brian's art, which chronicles his journey from vague recollections of his two-month hospital stay, to the struggles of rehabilitation and ongoing recovery, will be on display at Reston Community Center Hunters Woods from May 2 through June 13.
