This year, three of our high school art students, Hope Drenning, Charlotte Hardy and Lyan Sam, submitted a total of seven drawings and paintings to the Scholastic Art Competition. The Scholastic Art Competition is a highly competitive program that recognizes creative expression and artistic achievement in our schools. It is the largest and longest running recognition program for young people in the United States. Over 2,000 art pieces were submitted by grades 7-12 art students from throughout the state and approximately 1,000 won awards. 182 of these artworks were given Gold Key recognition and will represent NH at the National Competition. 4 of these Gold Key artworks belong to our Kingswood students.
We are proud to say that all three students received awards on all of the work they submitted. All three of Hope Drenning’s artworks received Gold Key recognition. She also won the Dorothy Messenger Scholarship for her comic “Inventing Honor”. Lyan Sam received one Gold Key award, one Silver Key award and an Honorable Mention for her three pieces and Charlotte Hardy received a Silver Key award for her painting. Their work will be on display at Pinkerton Academy in Derry, NH until February 16. |
