Scores of student artists and writers from private, public, and even home schools participate in the 87th annual Scholastics Art & Writing Competition, the largest provider of scholarships in the arts to graduating seniors. Students entered nearly 400 pieces of artwork for the 2010 regional competition alone. All of these pieces have passed through AHS’s Black Box Theatre and a panel of five art judges who awarded dozens of gold and silver keys for individual pieces and senior portfolios.
Fine arts teacher, Deborah Brock, has participated in Scholastics as the regional director for the past five years. Mr. Jim Usher and the AHS Fine Arts Department has helped to fund the Broward regional division as well as hosting the art show in the AHS Fine Arts building. Displayed in the Black Box Theatre are dozens of gold and silver key pieces as well as honorable mentions, including paintings, drawings, sculptures, ceramics, jewelry, photographs, and other art works of other mediums. The gold key pieces will travel to New York City to compete with thousands of other pieces from high schools across the nation.
Before the award-winning pieces leave, AHS will hold a gallery display of all winning pieces from January 21-30. Doors open at 7:30 am through 4 pm on weekdays and 10:00 am to 1:00 pm on Saturdays. An awards ceremony will be held in the Main Theater on January 30 at noon, presenting anxious artists with the judges’ results. Students, parents, and friends are welcomed and highly encouraged to join the ceremony.
