Desiree Yosten, Macee Haase, Lily Love, Fallon Rich, and Samantha Quiram attended the regional ART WARS Competition at USD in Vermillion on Friday, February 21st. Over 300 high school students from the eastern half of South Dakota competed in this event.
Students could choose two of the following categories to compete in, drawing, painting, clay, photography and digital art. Students were given one hour and 45 minutes to create an artwork based on a prompt given by the professor leading each category in the competition. No one knew the prompt ahead of time. Students wrote an artist's statement to explain the content of the artwork to the judges. Judges were chosen by the South Dakota Activities Association, only the top three students in each category advance to the State ART WARS Competition in Aberdeen. Menno students may not have made it to the State competition this year, but all of our students did very well and enjoyed the opportunity to attend this event.
I am proud of each and every one of them! Mrs. Kristi Schultz, ART
