Several Locust Valley High School students have been honored by the New York State Art Teachers Association and the Nassau County High School Student Juried Art Competition and Exhibit this fall.
Kyle Brown’s charcoal drawing, Annemie Germans’ acrylic painting and William Koch’s ceramic piece were chosen to exhibit their exceptional works in the 2023 New York State Art Teachers Association at the New York State School Boards Association’s annual convention from Oct. 26-28 in Buffalo.
Another five outstanding art students had their works chosen by Adelphi University professor Robyn Cooper for the 2023 Nassau County High School Student Juried Art Competition and Exhibition. Victoria Alesi, Gianna Castiglione, Annemie Germans, Thomas Rutherford and Olivia Wilde had their art recognized at the Nov. 5 reception and will be in the gallery until Nov. 25. The students were among the 275 entries, 75 artists and 81 pieces accepted for the exhibition.
“Art is a powerful language which can convey so much,” art teacher Melanie Mooney said. “I am immensely proud of these students who have spoken so eloquently through their works.”
