Students Showcased at Triton Museum

Students Showcased at Triton Museum
By Melissa McKenzie

Over 400 people had walked through the Triton Museum of Art’s doors within the first 45 minutes of the museum opening on March 1. While incredible exhibits are currently on display, these visitors were there for one special show - the museum’s annual Santa Clara Unified School District Student Exhibition.

From elementary to high school, each educational institution in Santa Clara Unified submitted pieces for display. The result was a wall-to-wall, ceiling-to-floor extravaganza showcasing the talent within the district.

“It’s so awesome to see this many people come through the galleries,” said the museum’s Curator of Education Maria Ester Fernandez, who expected over 1,000 visitors.

“This is so great. It’s so great to see all the families here ... a lot of these folks are coming in for the first time so it’s great for them to know they have this in the community and they can come out and it’s free, of course.”

This Week's Letters

SCUSD is a leader in Reading Recovery. SCUSD utilized a Federal Grant to train 32 teachers in this highly researched approach proven to catch early struggling readers and set them on a course for success.

The community does not know the dedication, motivation and tenacity that the teachers who accepted this challenge committed to; all for helping students learn to read! All 32 teachers attended 4-5 hours of training weekly, voluntarily taught students a minimum of 2 hours every day beyond their work day, five days a week, for a year, for NO extra pay! They did this while also taking state pay reductions.

I was continually in awe at the dedication of these teachers who had a tremendous passion for the students. What set our district apart as great, was the staff! The community needs to become involved in supporting programs that teachers believe in enough to provide this level of dedication to our young people.

It was a pleasure working with the Related firm. They let my committee ask several questions about the land PAL’s BMX is on. I like what they have done thus far. I know if they move the track, it will be in the best interest of both PAL and the city.

Chargers Continue Dominance, Move to CCS Semis

With a large “We Play for Creighton” banner flying high over rival Santa Clara High School’s gym, the Wilcox High School Chargers battled it out in CCS tournament play to beat the Leland High School Chargers 59-46 on Mar. 1.

After losing mentor Creighton Lane to cancer last week, Wilcox players were playing with heavy hearts during the contest. But, just as Lane preached perseverance and commitment, the Chargers pushed through to claim the victory in a game where the team maintained the lead from the opening tip off through the final buzzer.

“We had a heavy heart going into the game on Thursday and I was fine through the whole game,” said head coach Patrick Galos, who played for Lane in 2001. “At the end of the game, a lot of the girls team that played with him in the 07-08 year when they won CCS, and I was the JV coach that year...

“I think it’s important to promote reading and literacy as a key skill set for current and future success,” says Mayor Jamie Matthews before reading for the school’s fifth graders.

More Items Added to Masterpiece Criteria

More Items Added to Masterpiece Criteria

What makes a masterpiece? Over the past few weeks, the Triton Museum of Art has been laying out the lengthy list of criteria that must be met in order for a work of art to be considered a masterpiece in its “A Curator’s Eye: Discerning a Masterpiece” lecture series.

So far, it’s been said that a masterpiece must have ambivalence, irony, strangeness, originality, aesthetic splendor, creatively misread its precursors, have cognitive power and be a metaphor. And, on Feb. 27, Chief Curator Preston Metcalf continued the series with two additional pieces of criteria - a masterpiece demands re-experiencing and projects self-change through subject inwardness.

Metcalf explained the demand by showing a Mark Rothko’s “Green and Maroon,” and telling a story about how his son taught him to appreciate Rothko...
