During the month of May, several Rutherford County Schools Visual Art teachers displayed work of their own at the Community Gallery at Patterson Park. We always enjoy the artwork RCS students create each year under the instruction of wonderful teachers; and many of those teachers are also practicing artists. This show offered an opportunity for these artist-teachers to present original artwork to the public. Seven RCS artist-teachers presented work for the Spring 2021 RCS Teacher Art Show. Presenting Artist-Teachers Inlcuded: Frank Baugh – Oakland High School Heather Bethurum – Rockvale High School Danny Freeman – Central Magnet School Jonathon Griffith – Oakland High School Lindsey Leader – LaVergne High School Sayward Ratliff – Homer Pittard Campus School Abigail Todd – Rock Springs Middle School See their work – and interviews with Heather Bethurum of Rockvale High School and Danny Freeman of Central Magnet School – in this Murfreesboro City ArtsBreak video.

  • --:-- The Pursuit of Beauty - Frank Baugh Art Show

    Arts educators are undeniably dedicated to helping their students learn about an artform – but, in many cases, they are also practicing artists themselves.

    Frank Baugh, a visual art teacher at Oakland High School, recently showed artwork he created over the past 3 years at the Washington Theatre Gallery in the Patterson Park Community Center in Murfreesboro. Although the gallery is currently not open to the public due to COVID, Mr. Baugh teamed up with Murfreesboro City TV so the community can experience his paintings via video.

    Baugh calls this exhibit “Common Mystery.” His inspiration for these works was the feeling of nostalgia – perhaps of memories that have been distorted over time. His hope is that viewers will see beauty in these images, through their own lens.

    “The pursuit of beauty, in one way or another, is at the heart of most visual art,” Baugh says. “I like work that makes you wonder and makes you ask questions. I want my work to give viewers a chance to pause or maybe ponder a scene… a scene that might be familiar to them and ask questions to themselves about it.”

    You can see some of Baugh’s artwork and listen as he discusses his work in this video.
