Greenwich High School Scholastic Arts Award Winners
The 2020 Scholastic Art and Writing Award winners were recently announced, and among those named were seven Greenwich High School students, recognized for their work in art, ceramics and glass, photography, mixed media, and film and animation.
These students submitted their work to the Connecticut Art Region competition for consideration. Student artwork is then juried by professional artists and university art faculty and is selected on merit for inclusion in a state-wide art exhibition held at the Hartford Art School. These students who were awarded Honorable Mentions and Silver Key awards are also eligible to attend The Connecticut Regional Arts Award Celebration.
Greenwich High School Visual Arts Teacher Sheyda Ardalan said, “Our students used various two-dimensional and three-dimensional materials to visualize their ideas and express their thoughts, pushing the boundaries of their creative and cognitive competencies. Their work represented a vast range of superior ability in material use combined with highly developed creative thought process. The entire Art Department is very proud of our students.”
