Blecher's medias consisted of oil paint and colored pencil. Miller’s medias were also oil paint and pencil art. Steffen and Druyor’s media consisted of using colored pencils. Sindelar and Darnall’s artwork were done by pencil. Vogt used watercolor for her media choice. Finally, Sporleder and Shermer’s artwork was completed by painting.
Art teacher Tim Waldner says, “The students that chose to put their works in the art show this year had a very good showing. Most of the works received purple, which is the top place. Taylor Miller, Morgan Blecher, and Matt Steffen also received higher awards for their submissions. I’m proud of the work that they created as they should be.”
Their pieces are currently on display in the high school library.
