Success at the Junior Visual Art Scholastic Event!

There are so many things and stories I could share about all the hard work, patience, effort, creativity, problem solving, and hours spent that went into today's event, but I will let the students's voices and experiences speak for themselves.

I am so grateful for my students, the support of their families, and to my lovely and talented art teaching co-hort, without whom, this would not have been nearly so successful nor as much fun!




I’ve had so much fun here at competition and it’s been a blast. It’s my first time doing this, but it’s been an amazing experience. I’m glad I’ve had this wonderful opportunity. Art is one of my favorite things to do on my free time. I could draw all day long.

It’s a lot of fun, but when you are talking to the judges it’s kind of creepy and weird and it gives you bad, bad, bad tummy aches. It did. Don’t’ ever bring a white shirt to a JUNIOR VASE or pastel class because then it turns into a rainbow shirt.

I would say it was a good experience to be able to try for the first time. It’s a lot of work and it’s a big process, but at the end it is a lot of fun. It’s worth doing all the work.

Today was a really challenging day. The competition was tough. A few of our friends did not place though I am excited for them. I will try my best.
Aaron, 7th grade

Today was one of the best days of the school year. It was so much fun doing to be doing art and to be doing it with my friends supporting me. GO ART! It made me nervous talking to the judges, but was worth it in the end when I made a 4 and got to celebrate my achievement with my friends (And the Harlem Shake video was fun)

I had a great time today. I was so nervous, and my friend, Justice wasn’t helping. Before I was interviewed she said, “ Try not to barf on the judge!” Luckily I didn’t and I nailed the interview. I can’t wait until next year.
Kat 7th Grader

I had a terrific day today. I spent valuable time on my project for the art contest but I did not place any awards, but that is okay because now I know what I’m up against next year for high school. I was so excited to actually go to a district contest. I had so much fun.
