Bayville Intermediate School fifth grader Haichen Cotten and Bayville Primary School first grader Lucas Kim have been chosen to have their artwork exhibited at the Long Island Museum in Stony Brook from Feb. 17 through April 8 as part of the 24th annual Colors of Long Island student art show.
Haichen’s watercolor autumnal scene mixes warm and cool colors during his art class with Donna Chaplin. The young artist usually likes to draw cars, planes and animals, so this project was something different for him. “I like knowing that people like my art,” Haichen said. “It makes me happy.”
Lucas Kim had his chalk drawing of Christmas lights selected. He chose a glowing yellow for the top light because it is his sister’s favorite color and a light blue because it is his favorite color.
Both students are looking forward to visiting the exhibit with their friends and family.
