Boardman High School art students hosted their 64th annual art show on May 19 and 20 at Boardman High School.
The students have been working on their projects all year to put on display for friends and family to see.
The art department consists of six teachers, four in fine arts, one for metal shop and one for wood shop. Alyssa Birch is the department chair and photographer teacher.
For the last two years, guests and students have voted for different projects to be a part of the Top 30 out of all of the projects. Those 30 projects then get photographed and hung up.
“It’s a combination of graphics, photography, studio art and wood shop. It’s a combination of everything all of the classes have done all year, freshmen through seniors,” said Kate Johnson, a visual arts teacher.
More than 400 people attended the open house on May 19 to look at the student’s artwork and vote for the Top 30. In addition to the Top 30 projects being voted on, two other awards are given out to students.
One of the awards was the Connie Deutsch Memorial Award, a purchase award scholarship that is done every year. This year’s winner was senior Tim Cunningham. The second award given out was the Best in Show award, and the winner this year was junior Elizabeth Butto.
The art show is an event the art students look forward to and prepare for since the start of the school year.
