Audrey Dahlgren introduced the 5 art students and their parents & other family members in attendance.  Their art presentations were displayed around the room for our Club members to admire.
 
While the judging panel was deliberating, the students took turns presenting their future educational plans and career hopes, and discussing their art submissions.  Pictured above are Audrey Dahlgren with students Elizabeth Applewhite, Alex Mendoza, Noelie Merrihew, Emilie Ren, & Loren Chen.
 
First Prize was Loren Chen’s “Aftermath” (shown above), depicting a child survivor after a natural disaster, with a very emotional effect on the viewer.  Loren will compete for our Club in the District 5280 Art Contest.
 
 
Second Prize was Alex Mendoza.  In addition to the First & Second Prizes, all students received certificates of appreciation for their participation.
 
All students demonstrate excellent artistic talent and great promise for future success.  Our Club extends our deep appreciation to all participants for helping to make this event a success.  Thanks also to Career coordinator Teresa Hoffman and to Audrey Dahlgren for recruiting and organizing tonight’s presentations.
