Even though trips and events were canceled, Newark Academy students stayed busy and creative over spring break. Below are pieces by Stella Gilbert ’22, Michael Pyo ’22 and Kaya Patel ’22, created while the artists were in isolation.
“Painting with watercolors has always been an outlet for me, especially when I get anxious or stressed. Seeing my friends taking on big artistic projects over break inspired me to try something new so I decided to learn how to work with oil pastels. I’ve never considered myself a visual artist before, but I feel like desperate times call for creative measures.”

“These are meant to be seen as ethereal—an escape from disruptive forces, and an invitation to nature’s serene beauty.”
