Just under 50 students at Audubon Community Schools showed off their artistic prowess during the Western Iowa Conference Art Show held April 21-25. Students entered their work 23 out of the 25 categories with 88% of the entries winning awards. Art Teacher Kathy Wallander says is the highest percentage ever, adding, “I am so very proud of my students because they are all winners and the work they entered was excellent.”
Art entries included pencil drawings, digital media, jewelry/bead making, pottery, photography, paintings, and much more. Students received awards in 22 categories including 56 Outstanding Works Awards and 54 Honorable Mention Awards. The students saw their artwork on display this past Monday during the WIC Art Show at Logan-Magnolia High School, and then visited the Hot Shops in Omaha for a glass blowing demonstration and a tour of the facility. The winning artwork is now on display in the Audubon High School cafeteria with a student art show taking place next Wednesday, May 4, in conjunction with Honors Night. A full list of categories and student entries can be found below.
