CES students present art show
Sixty artists from third, fourth, and fifth grades were featured Friday at the annual art exhibit at Centre Elementary School.
The audience was arranged in a circle, and the children, accompanied by music, entered the circle and paraded their art past the viewers.
"It was a novel concept and it worked," said art instructor Pat Wick.
For the first time, awards were given. In the watercolor division, third and fourth grade first-place prize winners were: hen house, Justin Deines and Theo Kassebaum; sunflowers, Tabatha Rose, Cassandra Dones, and Danielle Spohn; daffodils, Samantha Correll, and Michelle Beasley; peppers, Carrie Carlson and Brandon Temel; iris, Samantha Correll and Theo Kassebaum. Fifth grader Jacob Jirak won first prize for a scrap watercolor.
Fifth graders created pastels with chalk. First prize winners were: Easter still life, Amanda Floyd; fruit and flowers, Brian Burhoop; Indian warrior, Jacob Jirak; pastels from scrap, Amanda Floyd, Ripley Howard, Megan Chizek, and Emily Staatz.
Third grader Houston Svoboda tackled a fifth grade scrap painting on ice fishing and won first place. Theo Kassebaum, Jacob Jirak, and Jacob Zimmer won prizes in design.
Awarded "Great Artist" were Tabatha Rose, Theo Kassebaum, and Jacob Jirak.
