An art department at a Coquitlam high school wants to raise $3,200 to bring a two-decade-long project to completion this winter.
Visual arts teacher Brian Gleckman launched a fundraising campaign via gofundme.com to enlist the financial help from Pinetree secondary students and staff as well as the community. For the past 20 years, art students at the school have been reproducing masterpieces to mount in the school hallways.
So far, about 90 paintings and drawings are on display in the school “museum,” with the final eight reproductions — of classics by Marc Chagall, Henri Matisse, Leonardo da Vinci and Rockwell Kent — due to be ready for viewing this winter.
