18 Wednesday, February 12, 2020 The Nugget Newspaper, Sisters, Oregon ART AWARDS: Student artists are life-long creatives Continued from page 1 Scholastic Awards have rec- ognized the vision, ingenu- ity, and talent of our nation9s youth, and provided opportu- nities for creative teens to be celebrated. Submissions were judged by a panel of artists, educa- tors and creative profession- als. Artwork is judged based on originality, personal vision and technical skills. Students can enter many categories including painting, digital art, sculpture, photog- raphy, jewelry, ceramics and fashion. This year Sisters High School art students had 53 awards, and six receiving awards from Sisters Middle School. Bethany Gunnarson, visual arts teacher at Sisters High School (SHS), said, <This is the 14th year for SHS students entering into The Scholastic Art Awards. This gives stu- dents an opportunity to have an outlet and get honored for their hard work. I9m really proud of the work they do, and every year it9s a won- derful surprise to see all the pieces that get entered. These students get judged blindly in Portland, digitally.= Mitchell Griffin, a senior at SHS, was awarded two Gold Keys: one for photography and one for his portfolio. He was also awarded a Silver Key for his photography. Griffin grew up in Sisters and has always enjoyed tak- ing photos around Central Oregon. Griffin noted, <My big- gest inspiration is nature and the amazing scenery we have in the area. I really started getting serious about pho- tography during 8th grade. My favorite subjects to pho- tograph are those found in nature, so anything from wild- life to landscapes. I plan on studying both photography and engineering next year in college.= Senior art student Hailey Mosca won five awards; three honorable mentions and two Silver Keys in the category of ceramics. Mosca told The Nugget, <When I was a little girl I was always crafting or doing some sort of little art project. Art has always been a creative outlet for me. It wasn9t until high school that I started working with ceramics. For the last four years I9ve taken some form of ceramics class every semester along with a few drawing and painting classes. <I have entered my work in Scholastic Art Awards since freshman year.
