Art Students Honored in Scholastic Art Competition
I wanted to share some fantastic news with you. We just received
word that 9 PHS art students have had their work honored in the Scholastic
Art Competition. Scholastic Art is a National Art and Writing
competition held annually. Students enter first at the state level and
then, if chosen continue onto the National competition.
This year we had 10 works chosen, which is the most we've ever had at Pewaukee. Works that receive a Silver or Gold Key are displayed at the Milwaukee Art Museum during the run of the exhibit. Animation and Video are shown on the big screen in the MAM theatre on the day of the opening. Students are invited to the opening at the Milwaukee Art Museum along with their parents and teacher. Students who receive honorable mention receive a certificate and are honored the day of the opening as well, but their work is not displayed due to limited space. In addition to the Art Works honored we also had a student writer received 2 silver keys. For more information on this honor and the exhibit click here: Scholastic and the Milwaukee Art Museum.
