ROUND ROCK, Texas — Much of life these days is being handled virtually, online via technology, and an art exhibit created by middle school students is no different.

“In the Middle” is the name of the art exhibition done by students in Round Rock Independent School District’s District 11 middle school students under the auspices of the district’s Fine Arts program.

The online gallery features paintings and drawings from students at C.D. Fulkes, Canyon Vista, Cedar Valley, Chisholm Trail, Deerpark, Grisham, Hernandez, Hopewell, Ridgeview, and Walsh middle schools, according to information posted on the RRISD website.

There are 123 slides in the online exhibit for the public to view, now through January 12, 2021.

“Our teachers develop and challenge our student artists to explore and experiment with their methods and inspirations,” said Tim Lowke, assistant director of Round Rock ISD Fine Arts said in an online statement. “A digital exhibit makes our student’s incredible and thoughtful art more accessible to the community.”
