A Legacy of Teaching<\/em> exhibition at Gallery ʻIolani<\/span><\/a> honors the remarkable drawing, painting and Atelier Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span><\/a> programs established and taught by Snowden Hodges<\/a><\/strong> for more than 30 years at Windward Community College<\/a>. The exhibit, which runs through March 2, includes the work of 27 former students that Hodges invited to participate, including former Atelier Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> student Sean Yoro<\/strong>, also known as “HULA,” who is on the 2018 Forbes<\/em> Magazine list of 30 Under 30 in the Art and Style category.<\/p>\n

An opening reception with entertainment by Kawika Kahiapo and Kapono Lopez will be held Friday, February 2, 4–7 p.m.<\/p>\n

In 2002, Hodges created Atelier Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>, a program in classical realism. In this intensive, immersion curriculum, students learn time-honored techniques of drawing and painting. Until 2012, when Hodges retired from teaching, the program was hugely successful, receiving critical acclaim and drawing students from Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span>, other Pacific Islands, Europe and the U.S. mainland.<\/p>\n

Hodges lives in Honolulu and is a University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Professor Emeritus of Art. His work is shown by The Fine Art Associates and the Cedar Street Gallery in Honolulu and the Harris Gallery in Houston.<\/p>\n
