Sarah was among the local student artists being honored. Her art teachers urged her to submit some of her art pieces to this annual competition. She sent three entries in, and one of them was awarded a Gold Key - the top award. We are really proud of her for putting herself out there and for working so hard to achieve this honor. Congratulations, Sarah!
Her piece is a chalk pastel drawing of a bowl of fruit - a classic still life, right?
Maybe not... Is that mold on that orange? Is that pear rotting? The apple has worms in it! And, are those fruit flies circling overhead?!
The assignment was to draw something ugly in a beautiful manner, and Sarah stuck her tongue firmly in her cheek with this concept of a typical still life that isn't. Pretty clever, I think...
Several of her friends were award winners, as well, some Gold, some Silver, some Honorable Mention (a status Sarah achieved last year). She's in with a talented group of friends who support each other. That's always a healthy environment for budding artists.
If you're local and want to see some of the amazing art at this exhibit, it's on display through Saturday, January 23rd at PNCA.
