A panel of visual art judges wades through almost four thousand
student art works to choose about 550 pieces for the annual Northeast Central
Ohio Scholastic Art Competition every year.
So, like art teachers across the region submitting student work for
consideration, we hold our collective breaths and see if our kids’ work made
the cut. This year I was thrilled that
four of our students were recognized by the competition, and three have their
work included in the Scholastic Art Show on exhibit at Kent State Stark campus
through February 6.

| One happy art teacher! |
Undaunted by this past Saturday’s weather conditions, a
crowd of about 500 gathered to recognize these students in an awards ceremony
where each artist received either a gold or silver key for their art work.
In addition, several works were chosen to
receive special recognition and awards sponsored by local organizations and
businesses.
To my delight, Abigail's work, “Haitian Girl” was honored with a cash prize from Flower Factory
as well as a silver
key.
Please join me in congratulating these students for the
excellence in visual arts!
