From fashion design to painting and ceramics, artwork by six students from Mashpee Middle High School is featured in the exhibition, “Through Young Eyes,” at the Cape Cod Museum of Art in Dennis.
Mashpee art teachers Ms. Deschamps and Mrs. Troyanos have carefully selected six students’ artwork to put forward into the art show. Jamie Hughes, Camila dos Santos, Francesca Toews, Lila Burke, Lindsay Lu, and Isabella Eagan all have artwork that will be displayed in the exhibit.
The annual event showcases students' artwork from all across the Cape. More than 90 students will be being showcased from 15 schools on Cape Cod. A reception was held April 7 to open the show. The work will be displayed through May 8 at the museum, located at 60 Hope Lane in Dennis.
“[We] worked together to have a variety of pieces to showcase the wide variety of talent our student's have,” Ms. Deschamps explained to the Falconer. She also noted other factors that went into their decisions, such as skill, content, and the likelihood of each student pursuing a career in the arts.

Jamie Hughes, an AP Art student at MMHS who is particularly interested in photography, created a beautiful acrylic painting titled “Powerlines at Dusk,” that was one of the chosen pieces. She noted how much she appreciated the recognition.
“Painting is a medium that I usually don’t enjoy or think that I’m very good at, but this piece making it into the art show was definitely a confidence boost for my painting skills,” she said.
Not only does the exhibit honor student artwork, but it also showcases work from art teachers on Cape Cod. Both Ms. Deschamps and Mrs. Troyanos will have work on display alongside their students as they are both members of the Cape Cod & Islands Art Educators Association (CCIAE) A total of twelve art teachers will be featured. Ms. Deschamps said, “It’s always great for us to see other art teachers, and for art students to meet each other and possibly make new friends.”
“The museum is a beautiful place to spend time, and having in-person receptions back is super exciting! Just the positive, creative energy and being together, around artwork created by student's and art teachers, really inspires everyone,” Ms. Deschamps said.
There the show includes a variety of art mediums featured, including acrylic painting, chalk pastels, fashion design, photography and more.
