Twenty-three Richland One art students and one teacher were among more than 250 who received honors and awards in the 2021 South Carolina State Fair’s Art Competition.

Richland One students competed in 2-D, 3-D and photography divisions with more than 900 other K-12 students from across the state.

“We are so proud of all the Richland One students who contributed their artwork to the South Carolina State Fair,” said N. Walter Graham, III, Richland One’s coordinator of visual and performing arts. “The talent our students exhibit and the heart that our teachers give through encouragement and passion is unmatched. Thank you all for making our district shine so brightly.”

Among the front-runners were first-place winners of the 2-D divisions for elementary and high school – Ace Seawright, a fifth-grader at A.C. Moore Elementary School, and Katie Bauer, a ninth-grader at Dreher High School. The other award recipients are listed below. Christopher Nostrant, a visual art teacher at A.C. Flora High School, earned a merit award in the Professional Category for his painting.

“I’m always impressed with what the teachers from Richland One produce,” said Barbara Crenshaw, student art superintendent for the South Carolina State Fair. “The work is always wonderful and displayed well. You can certainly see the growth from elementary to high school in all of our students.”

Ms. Wright's 3rd grade ELA class is doing an altruism project to go along with their most recent novel study.

Jota is a courtship dance traditional in northern Spain, particularly Aragon; also a genre of folk song that precedes and accompanies the dance or is sung only.

The dancing couple hold their arms high and click castanets as they execute lively, bouncing steps to guitar music and singing. The singing consists of coplas, improvised verses of satire, love, or piety. The verse form varies but is frequently a four- or seven-line stanza of eight-syllable lines. The music is in 3/4 or 3/8 time.
