On April 25, an Award Ceremony and a NAHS (National Art Society) Induction was held at the CHS black box. It started at 6:30 p.m and ended around 8:00 p.m.
Families were encouraged to visit the gallery and support the students’ hard work.
The NAHS Induction acknowledged the members who received cords for graduation. They also Inducted the new members. Being Inducted means you are being welcomed into an organization or group.
After the NAHS Induction a reception was held. Students, staff, and families gathered together, drank punch, and ate sweet treats.
April 25-26, the Fine Arts Building hosted an art show and allowed classes and the public to visit from 8:00 a.m to 4:00 p.m.
Helen Goodman helped a lot with preparing the Art Show.
Goodman teaches FAV I, FAV III, AP Studio Art, & Graphic Design 1 & 2.
“Our annual art show is the capstone to the year,” Goodman said. “It takes weeks of preparation to make it through the selection and matting of pieces for all the classes we teach and then divide them into categories for the judging process.”
There were hundreds of works prepared for the show.
“We had an art instructor from an area college to judge the work and then a crew of students helped during the judging to lay out artwork by categories for the judge to consider and then record the results,” Goodman added.
This year, more than 40 categories of artwork were judged.
“Finally, a best-of-show is selected for each grade level and an overall trophy winner is chosen,” Goodman said. “The work will be displayed during two school days and we’ll have an awards ceremony on Thursday night to honor the students who’ve won our show in addition to those who’ve won awards in state competition.”
Students work hard throughout the school year to make art, students learn new techniques and grow with their abilities throughout the year. When the end of the year creeps up students get to choose their favorite pieces to enter into the Art Show.
“Each year I see a lot of technical growth, artistic maturity, and conceptual development in my students throughout the year. I love to see my students progress in their abilities and knowledge through the year: the, ‘ah ha!’look on their faces when things come together for them is so exciting! There’s not one that doesn’t run into challenges and I love it when those challenges are conquered,” Goodman said.
Students were asked why they put their art in the art show.
“I put my shadow shape, titled New Career and Business,” sophomore Drey Crumpton said. “Mrs. Goodman made me do it. I really like it. It wasn’t really my choice, but I am glad I put it in.”
There were 42 categories, with one grade victor for judges to choose who should place. There was an overall winner of a category and first through fourth place, as well as honorable mention.
Sophomore Dorothy Spangler placed first in her grade for her artwork, “Treetop Bookshelf.”
Junior Ethan David placed first in his grade for the artwork, “Small fry.”
Senior Mckinley Ables placed first in her grade for her artwork, “Lady Liberty.”
