NHS Junior, Quinn Schick, wins at State! Junior Quinn Schick is a 2014 Ohio Governor’s Youth Art Exhibition State winner for her color pencil drawing titled: “Witch Magic”. The Ohio Governors Youth Art Exhibition is dedicated to the educational and artistic advancement of our talented young people in the state of Ohio. The exhibition is open to all of Ohios 1,112 high schools, both public and private, chartered by the State of Ohio Department of Education. The purpose is to provide all budding young artists of the state with opportunities to advance their talent, whether that be through scholarships or simply experiencing the process of entering their work in a competition. The exhibition is a valuable incentive for young people; it encourages an appreciation for the arts throughout Ohio and reflects the fine quality of art instruction and talent which exist in our state. The process of selecting artworks for the state exhibition begins on a regional level. Norwalk High School submitted 60 works of art from 26 students and 17 pieces were selected among 10 students as winners at the regional level. Regional level winners included: Kelsey Count (12), Timothy Duncan (12), Alex Harness (10), Madison Kirk (12), Kelsey Mullins (10), Miranda Peer-Perryman (12), Hannah Piscitelli (12), Quinn Schick (11), Cait Southers-Wallace (12) and Jennifer Young (11). The state judging took place in Columbus; however, the judges for this level of competition are chosen from all over the country and are generally professional artists, college level instructors, or both. From the 12,000 regional entries from the 15 regions, approximately 2,500 are selected to enter the state judging. State jurors then selected 300 for the actual exhibition, with 25 of the 300 chosen to receive the Governors Award of Excellence. Scholarships are offered to seniors by over 30 universities and colleges of art. The selection of students to be offered scholarships is left strictly up to those institutions who offer them. The Governors Exhibition is merely a vehicle through which schools and students are brought together. The exhibition opens at the James A. Rhodes State Office Tower, across from the State Capitol, on April 13, 2014, and closes May 15, 2014. At the exhibition opening, students will receive Awards of Excellence and scholarship awards. “Witch Magic” – Color pencil by Quinn Schick Junior, Quinn Schick #WeAreNorwalk #TruckerPride
