ADVANCED ART NEWS

By Be c c a T r ue

In late March, Mr. Vogt and his Advanced Art students took a trip after school to Kankakee Community College to exhibit their talents at the art competition. Many exemplary pieces were submitted, and they were categorized by black and white drawings, paintings, sculptures, and color drawings. The show was a first-time experience for many of the students, which was both exciting and nerve-wracking for them. Out of almost two-hundred submitted pieces, four Pontiac students won awards. Sam Sipe won a merit award for her incredibly detailed painting, and Emma Brummel also won a merit award for her extremely realistic frog. In addition to the paintings, Bethany Jewell received a merit award for her drawing, “The Flower Girl.” In addition, Ashlynn Becker earned an honorable mention for her intricately designed cubism project. All of the pieces were beautifully created, and the students are extremely grateful for the constant encouragement of their wonderful Art teacher, Mr. Vogt.
