Visit the Gallery to see the beautiful student and teacher paintings! Annual Student/Teacher Show Award Winners Judge: Linda Darke Swaynos |
1st Place: Modern Art in Perspective - Marie Hoke (Teacher - Katherine Rodgers) "I love this piece. Excellent use of watercolor. Great 3-D drawing skills with a wonderful sky. Love the fact that it references other paintings." 2nd Place: Just a Street – Irene Sheytman (Teacher - Vlad Yeliseev) "Wonderful street scene, exceptional for a student teacher show. The loose figures are wonderful, and knowing when to stop is a huge part of this beautiful piece." 3rd Place: Gathering Home – Amy Curry (Teacher - Cheryl Evans) "The rooster is done masterfully, taking advantage of the dark and the white. Fits on the paper perfectly. Excellent use of collaged text pieces." Honorable Mentions Lilac Vigil - Maria Rosenfield (Teacher - Don Andrews) "Lovely, loose, beautiful piece, yet it tells a story. It’s just the lightest touch that creates the moment." Measured Light – Kathie Nelson (Teacher - Vie Dunn-Harr) "Beautiful paper used to its best advantage. Has texture and movement." Pel -I-can’t – Caroline Huet (Teacher - Katherine Rodgers) "Bold, charming piece, I love the dark background. You are rewarded for getting up close to this piece from across the room by still finding nice surprises." Murray Mystery – Eve Myles (Teacher - Linda Vanek) "Bill Murray! Portrait is instantly recognizable. Bold piece made me smile. It is done with a deft hand, so quick and so light." |
