⭐️ Art IV Senior Spotlight: Paige Weisinger ⭐️

It has been such a joy to be Paige's art teacher the last couple years!
She has excelled in a variety of art mediums. She won the Globe Newspaper Design an Ad twice. Her recent senior project, the "avant-garde" mushroom headwear, is one of my all time favorite senior projects. She has a great attitude in the art room and always responded to feedback with an impressive determination to improve her skills.
I hope Paige continues making art in her next endeavor!
Congratulations, Paige! You will be missed!

A new and interesting way to explore “pointillism” - a style of art where the artwork is made up of dots.
Instead of marking dots with pen or paint, we poked holes.
Very interesting effect!

✨Vote on the ORIGINAL post, not here!!

E-TC and OASD students have some amazing artworks in this contest.
The theme of the contest was Mental Health Awareness.
Please also read the artist statements that the students wrote to explain their pieces. They did very complex and thoughtful artworks.

The artworks are mixed with other school submissions, unfortunately I can’t point out which are specifically ours but please vote for any of the artworks you like!

Great opportunity for young artists!

Become an Isle Royale Summer 2023 Teen Artist!

Applications for Isle Royale National Park's 2023 Teen Artist Exploration will be accepted between January 2 and February 16, 2023. This artistic discovery is geared to all aspiring teen artists who want to develop their art through experiencing wilderness, and is open to all visual and performing artists, writers, and composers ages 13 to 18 at time of participation.

Over the course of six days, two selected teen artists will explore their art and the island--hike and backpack along wave-washed shores, canoe quiet bays of Lake Superior, or sketch wildlife among the boreal forest. A mentor will provide coaching during the artistic and wilderness exploration. Artists must be available for the scheduled dates of the summer 2023 program: July 21 – 26, 2023

The 2023 program is a six-day, five-night camping experience in the Rock Harbor area. All applicants must be comfortable camping on a remote island. Park rangers and the program mentor will assist with ferry transportation, campground reservations, and camping equipment. A legal guardian must accompany a teen artist seventeen or younger.

On the first and last day of the program, selected artists and their families (up to 4 people total) will receive complimentary transportation to and from the island provided on RANGER III, a 165-foot ship operating from Houghton, Michigan.

Visit the Teen Artist Exploration website for the online submission process: https://www.nps.gov/isro/getinvolved/teen-artist.htm.

To be considered, all application components must be digitally received by 11:59 pm on February 16, 2023. Entries received after February 16 will not be considered. Notification to all applicants will be made by May 1, 2023. For further information, visit the park’s website, call (906) 482-0984, or email [email protected].
