Ms Tremblay and I are so proud to announce the winners of the Hudson Valley Region Scholastic Art Awards for 2013. There were a total of 22 Gold winners, 26 Silver winners and 41 Honorable Mention awards! WOW!
In addition, two High School seniors were awarded a Silver Key each for their full Portfolios.
Kristi Roberts, "Ice Cream Nose" Silver winner
Here's why these awards are so important...The Scholastic Art and Writing Awards began in 1923 and today, more than 75,000 students from across the nation participate annually. They have made $25 million in awards and scholarships available for deserving, talented students. (Andy Warhol was a Gold key winner of the Scholastic Art Awards of 1945.)
The Scholastic Awards continue to be the nation's longest-running, most prestigious recognition program for creative teenagers, and the largest source of scholarships for talented young artists and writers. So here's the names of all the students from Marlboro High School have won the following gold and silver keys and Honorable Mention awards. These art students are considered among the top 10-15 percent in the Hudson Valley region. The Gold key winners will go forward to the National Scholastic Art and Writing competition and if chosen, will receive their awards at Carnegie Hall in June. The exhibition of the Gold and Silver works were on display for the public from February 9th - 21st at SUNY New Paltz Fine Arts Rotunda.
My name is Emmy Hastings and I am enjoying teaching all levels of art at Marlboro High School. My courses are Studio Art, Drawing & Painting, Advanced Art and AP/Studio Art. I received my MA in Painting from NYU and completed teacher certification at SUNY New Paltz.
I continue to paint and show work at two local galleries. Staying involved with my own fine art helps me be a better teacher. Contact me at: emeline.hastings@marlboroschoolsorg
