2018 ART SHOW BY JOSIE NOONAN

Throughout the school year, and my four years at PTHS, I have had the opportunity to have my artwork submitted into different conference and county art shows. In years past, I have won a few awards in these local contests. However, this year, Mr. Vogt submitted my acrylic painting into the 2018-2019 Illinois Art Education Association Student Art Show and my piece was selected. In this contest, 634 entries were submitted from Illinois students and only 45 were selected from K-12 by a panel of Art Teacher Judges. Out of the 5 junior art pieces to be selected, mine was recognized. Mr. Vogt, Mr. Bohm, his family, and my family had the privilege to attend the awards ceremony on November 10th in the Normal Theater during the IAEA Annual Conference in Bloomington-Normal. At this event, all of the chosen works were framed and displayed outside of the theater. It was amazing to be able to see the other great artwork created by young kindergarteners, and the detailed, skilled work of those in high school. I plan to go into the Art field after high school, so I was incredibly honored and excited to be a part of this Student Art Show. I am very grateful for the
