Band senior Jaymin Zhu received an honorable mention for his drawing and illustration “Trapped.” He described this piece as a depiction of “what it was like sitting in the same chair, at the same desk, for hours at a time each day.”

The Scholastic Art and Writing Awards announced their regional art award winners Jan. 18, and their regional writing winners on Jan. 28. The pieces that won Scholastic Art and Writing awards on campus included art portfolios, photography, and poetry.

Visual junior Natalia Diaz received a Silver Key for her painting “Cotton Clouds & Sandpaper Hands.” “I admire African American history and their strength, and how they didn’t stop when everyone wanted them to stop and didn’t put out their fire,” Diaz said.

The Scholastic Art and Writing Awards offer Regional Silver and Gold Key winners a chance to display their work at the Armory Art Center. Winners are also eligible for scholarship opportunities

“When I saw (that I won) a gold key, it was a pleasant surprise,” digital junior Samuel Stockwell said. “It was crazy when I found out because I didn’t know what it meant at first. Getting this award made me think more about (going to college for) photography.”
