Bath art students win awards
Since 1927, Scholastics has sponsored a national contest to honor outstanding achievement in the visual arts by junior and senior high school students. The Arnot Art Museum in Elmira has sponsored the local awards exhibit for more than 60 years. Conglon earned Gold Keys for her paintings Toes and Lions, Tigers, Bears! and Silver Keys for her painting Samnelliot and her drawing Senior. Elizabeth's art portfolio of collected works also earned a Silver Key. Her Triple Figure Pot earned an Honorable Mention in the ceramics and glass category. In addition, Elizabeth was awarded one of five American Vision Awards for exceptional work and her Gold Key pieces will be sent to New York City for the national competition. Sokolowski 's painting Lighthouse and a self portrait drawing earned Honorable Mentions. More than 450 works by students in the Southern Tier of New York and NorthernTier of Pennsylvania were submitted. Of those, some 150 received honors and 120 were shown in the Arnot Art Museum's East Gallery in February. "These students represented our district in tremendous fashion," said art teacher Daniel Roemmelt. "Districts are allowed to send ten pieces of artwork per teacher, so to have won so many awards is truly an honor." Conglon and Sokolowski and their families were invited to an awards ceremony at Elmira College on February 3. Marc Dennis, Elmira College professor and nationally-known artist, was the keynote speaker. "The Scholastic Art Awards competition is a terrific opportunity for our students to compete with students from other area schools," said Roemmelt. "Year after year they continue to do well. Many of our past Scholastic winners continued their art studies in college and are now working in art careers." |
