their favorite piece of art and put it in a bucket with everyone else’s votes and they would be tallied for the end. After perusing all the submissions in the gallery, students were told to download an app, get with a group of people, and go for a scavenger hunt for things in the painting and photography hanging up. The people who completed the most challenges would win a prize at the end. After that, students were split up according to what activities they had signed up for prior. There was a lot available: embroidery, stop-motion animation, gesture drawing, light painting in photography, abstract watercolor, and so much more. After one of their classes, they went to lunch and ate while a professor at ISU talked to them about a specific form of art that is offered at their school. This is where the winners were announced. Fifteen awards were given out, not including several honorable mentions. Of the fifteen awards, Le Roy’s students won six, plus two honorable mentions. Brooke Raven won Best in Drawing for her piece, Prosperity. Mary Thayn won Best in 2D Mixed-Media for her painting, Stained Glass Window. Emily Burkett and Lily Beer won Best Video for their short film, Worm on a String. Emily Burkett won Best in Graphic Design for her piece, BOI. Kelsey Nava won Best in Sculpture, for her sculpture, Brainwashed. Brooke Raven won the Student Choice Award for her piece, People First. Macy Gerth got an honorable mention for her video, The Crayon Song Animatic, and Jade Bandy also got an honorable mention for her self-portrait, It’s Me. The whole event was very well planned out and all the students enjoyed themselves. Congrats winners! You can see the winning submissions in the display case in the high school hallway, so make sure to give it a peek.
to take them for granted. I understand straws aren’t the most “important” object in the world, but I thought I would put great use towards them. I think the straws can be sued for many different things, such as drinking from, creating some sort of art related object on any form of medium, etc.
How was the project executed? (Did you run into any problems, anything you had to work around?) The hardest thing was trying to form the straws to make sure that they would stick to the hand and still look like a hand once they were glued to it. When I was gluing the straws, around the finger tips, it had became very hard to cover them and be able to smooth out the straws due to the irregular shape. I wanted to make designs in it, but unfortunately, time was not on my side. How was your experience? I personally had a good experience with this project, I was able to overcome a few obstacles and I think it turned out fairly well. I am mortally impressed as to how well the straw hand looked. What was your inspiration for your sculpture? What object did you choose?
Mrs. Little gave us the assignment of making a sculpture of a hundred or more of one object. At first I thought of an easy way to get a hundred things. My mind instantly came to the bundle of bags I had at home. Now I had the objects, I just couldn't think of what to make out of them. Then, Kylie Mullis gave me the idea of a wave to symbolize all the trash and plastic that goes into the ocean. How was the project executed? (Did you run into any problems, anything you had to work around?) The only problem I ran into was use of space. I originally planned on flattening and layering the bags. Soon, I figured out that took way too much time. I solved my problem by lightly rolling them to give them more volume. How was your experience? It was definitely a fun, but challenging experience. I mostly glad that I was able to use something that people would normally throw away, into a creative piece of artwork. |
