Seniors Win Scholastic Art Award
Seniors Lauren L. and Jason L., were recently honored by the “The Scholastic
Art
& Writing Awards” program for their achievements in painting and ceramics,
respectively. According to the Scholastic website, “The awards have fostered
creativity and talent since 1923 for millions of students.”
Upper School art teacher and Tuttle Gallery
Director Oletha DeVane has been
working closely with Lauren and is impressed by her artistic ability. “She has
exceptional skill in painting and she is an incredibly hard worker,” says DeVane.
"Those two things make it possible for her to come up with creative, important
ideas and carry them through in her work. I love the way she thinks.”
Leslie Portney, a ceramicist and member of the Upper School art
department, has
enjoyed watching Jason’s talent develop. She says Jason learned to throw
pottery on the potters wheel in summer camp and has been devoted to the art ever since.
“Jason has made a total commitment to throwing and has set a high bar for
himself and his classmates,” says Portney. “He has done intensive research into
the processes involved in making ceramics and he has thrown a massive amount.
He has put in the 10,000 hours it takes to master something.”
After graduation from McDonogh in June, both Jason and Lauren plan to
study
their art on some level in college.
