Scholastic Visual Arts Honors Awarded to Sanford Students
Twenty-six Sanford students were recognized for outstanding artwork in this year’s Scholastic Art & Writing Awards competition.
The awards showcased the diverse talents of Sanford’s artists, as students were recognized for work in eleven different categories: Ceramics & Glass, Comic Art, Design, Digital Art, Drawing & Illustration, Fashion, Film & Animation, Mixed Media, Painting, Photography, and Sculpture.
More than 90,000 seventh through twelfth graders across the country submit work to the annual competition, which is sponsored by the Scholastic Corporation and presented by the nonprofit Alliance for Young Artists and Writers. Work is judged by industry leaders and exhibited in New York and at local exhibitions around the country. “For most young winners,” the Corporation has stated, “this recognition is their first experience of being identified as serious artists and writers, and the impact on their self-perception can be life-changing.”
Work earning Gold and Silver Key recognitions will be exhibited at the Art Gallery at Delaware State University in Dover from January 19th through February 7th.
Six Sanford students received “Gold Keys,” the highest level of recognition, in this year’s competition. Riley Whipple earned two gold keys: one for her Film & Animation piece, “Pancho,” and another for a work of Mixed Media, “Detached.” Yingying Luo earned gold for a Digital Art piece entitled “vague.” Chloe DiCamillo was recognized for her Film & Animation piece, “How to Build a Snowman.” Evan Grace Amendum earned a gold key for a mixed media work, “Squares.” Seungmuk Oh received gold for one photograph, “Fake Blue,” and honorable mention for another, “Memories.” Finally, Ivana Gatica received a gold key for her photograph “Stool in a Room,” a silver honor for a painting, “Killing Time,” and honorable mention for the painting “Contortion” and the photograph “To the Mountain.”
Silver Key winners were:
MacKenzie Carey, Sculpture, “19 Golden Rings”
