Boardman High School students showcased their artwork during the 65th annual Boardman High School Art Show on May 18.

BHS art teachers and administrators attended the event, along with the students who created the art. The students brought their friends and families to show what they have been working on during their class time. This year the video production was an addition to the art show and many of the projects were played for guests to watch.

The program passed out to visitors included the top 10 winners of different categories including photography, graphic design, architectural drawing and studio art. Students who won the top 10 awards had a blue ribbon next to their artwork and those with an honorable mention had a yellow ribbon. Many of the art students submitted their pieces to various art shows in the area, where several students were awarded winners.

In the middle of the event, photography teacher Alyssa Birch spoke to the audience at the show and announced the winner of the Connie Deutsch Memorial Purchase Scholarship. The winner of the scholarship was Anna Warhol and her photography piece. Warhol’s piece will be put on display at the Boardman Performing Arts Center.

Birch ended her speech by thanking the guests who attended and the students who continue to make the art show a success and for being a part of an amazing tradition.

“As teachers, we love seeing the world through the students’ eyes,” said Birch.
