Once a year, the Scholastic Art Show allows students from Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan to submit their own art to be judged. This year, Plymouth High School had numerous students that placed within the contest.

\nWith the fine arts still well celebrated amongst school corporations, the Scholastic Art Show allows students from a variety of schools to submit their collection of artwork. Students are allowed to submit any piece of work that are in the form of drawing, printmaking, painting, sculpturing, writing and many other forms. This year, PHS had plenty of students who placed in the Scholastic Art Show.<\/p>\n

The rules to this event are pretty simple. First, it has to be a work of art that is an original idea from the student, so plagiarism is not accepted. Once a student\u2019s submits their own work, they have the chance to place with a Gold Key, Silver Key and a Honorable Mention on another piece of work. With those regulations in mind plenty of Plymouth\u2019s art students had no problem submitting their own work for the show.<\/p>\n

Senior Brandon Braid won two gold keys and one silver key this year out of the 11 works of art he submitted for the Scholastic Art Show. Braid submitted three individual pieces of work and his own portfolio which consists of eight works of art including four drawings and four paintings. The theme of his portfolio was \u201cPEOPLE.\u201d While his own portfolio did not place any awards, Braid\u2019s three individuals all placed. These three pieces consisted of oil and canvas to pencil on paper. The three were titled, \u201cYoung Man,\u201d \u201cBoy,\u201d and \u201cStudy of Picasso’s Blue Period.\u201d \u201cI was excited and happy about the three individuals that I entered, getting two golds and a silver,\u201d Braid said.<\/p>\n

Also placing in the Scholastic Art Show this year was junior Clay Corsbie, who submitted only one piece of work placing with a Silver Key. Corsbie\u2019s printmaking piece is titled \u201cArduous Voyage\u201d which, \u201cIs a viking ship sailing in the sea. \u00a0It represents how times were traveling and how people accomplished so much for what technology that they had back then\u201d said Corsbie. Also, \u201cI feel great! I was relieved to find out that my picture won a place, I had a feeling that there was a chance for my picture\u201d Corsbie said.<\/p>\n

Another student that entered the Scholastic Art Show was sophomore Alexandria Pesak, who attained a Gold Key at the Scholastic Art Show. Pesak submitted a charcoal drawing of her own pet dog. \u201cI love my dog so I decided to draw her,\u201d Pesak said, \u201cIt took me a good two to three weeks with a lot of good effort.\u201d While a few students earned Gold Keys during the show, Pesak exclaims her own feelings, \u201cI feel so good about it! My feelings are over the top! I received a Gold and now I am just waiting to see if my drawing moves on to nationals.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Braid, Corsbie, and Pesak all placed in the Scholastic Art Show, they were not the only ones to do so. Along with them were seniors Josh Cole and Aaram Kamali, junior Ramon Luna, and sophomore Olivia Coulter. Cole, Coulter and Luna earned Gold Keys, and Kamali and Luna both earned Honorable Mentions as well. An award ceremony was held Sunday, February 12, at the Bendix Theater in the Century Center. Their winning artwork can be seen in the Warner Gallery until March 3, 2012.<\/p>\n
