Art teacher Jennifer Potts provided art students with the opportunity to submit their best art pieces to the CPL League Art Competition. On April 24, students traveled to Trinity for the Art contest. Students were able to view other schools’ art while they waited for theirs to be judged.
Junior Angie May had three placings. She earned 2nd place in pencil and 3rd place in both charcoal and miscellaneous.
“I was shocked,” May said. “I was like, ‘Oh cool, I won something,’ because I was the only one that got a medal.”
Senior Audrey Davis also submitted pieces to the contest. She got an honorable mention in the colored pencil category. She also made another piece out of watercolors, but it didn’t place.
“My dolphin took 2 months to do and it was a lot of work,” Davis said. “My colored pencil drawing, which took a month to do, wasn’t super hard but it was kind of boring.”
Sophomore Anna Bender submitted a mixed medium. She did a painting of coffee on top of book pages.
Some students thought that the judging system was a bit unfair.
“The judges were from that school so it seemed a bit unfair,” Bender said. “They were photographers, so they knew how to judge that, but everything else was out of their realm, so it seemed like they were judging how it looked instead of the art itself.”
Junior Faith Rivera also got an honorable mention in the miscellaneous category.
