The Fine Arts Department at
Downers Grove North High School is proud to release the results of the judging
from the 2013 Scholastic Art Awards
held at Downers Grove North High School and hosted by the Community High School
District 99 Fine Arts Departments. 1,058
student artists from 30 area schools submitted 2,973 works of art for
adjudication. North High artists won 91 awards, including 28 Gold Key
Awards, 24 Silver Key Awards, and 37 Honorable Mention Awards.
The five most outstanding works
of art, as designated by the professional adjudicators, were named “American
Vision” nominees. Of the five works
selected, two were by Downers Grove North High School visual art students. Senior Kevin Brinkman’s Digital Art entry –
“Why Now?” – and senior Amanda Papp’s Ceramic & Glass entry – “Stoney
Teapot” – were both awarded the prestigious American Vision designation.
“We are very excited to host the
regional exhibition at North High,” said Brayer Teague, Fine Arts Department
Chairman. “This show is always an amazing display of student creativity and a
testament to the wonderful art teaching that is happening in District 99.” According to Teague, the art teachers from
both North and South High School play an important role in putting the
exhibition together. “Our District 99
art teachers are the engine behind this regional affiliate of the Scholastic
Art and Writing Awards. Their dedication
and tireless commitment enables student artists from all over the suburban
region to have their work evaluated by professional artists.”
Community High School District 99 will host the Scholastic Art Show Regional Exhibition from February 10-15, at the North High School campus Main Street Lobby (4436 Main Street, Downers Grove, IL 60515). The public is cordially invited to attend the Exhibition Opening and Artist Reception on Sunday, February 10, from 1:00 - 4:00 PM.
