Arts in Action is always a fun day for WKHS students. I hear you all talk about it in much the same way as elementary school kids talk about their end of the year field day fun. And while it is meant to be fun, it is also a special way to showcase the many talents of our WKHS students. Kilbourne is certainly blessed with some amazing artists! And I appreciate the fact that on Arts in Action day all the various art forms are celebrated and honored. Throughout the day I was able to capture a few of my students creating and celebrating art.
Justin Souder and Sammy Crozier checking out some of the artwork - the drawing they were looking at in this photo was also by one of my students, Paige Cooke.
Praise Ademodi was able to get her face painted and enjoyed showing it off during the day.
Reed Costello is shown with some of his impressive artwork. Reed was recognized as being Kilbourne's Top 2D Artist of the Year!
Anne Dargenio was working on an awesome mural during today's arts in action. Today Anne was honored as being the overall female artist of the year!
Jacob Bloom with his "Bloom" throwdown pot that won him the Throwdown Championship for (at least) the 2nd year in a row. Jacob received the award for being Kilbourne's Top 3D Artist of the year!
And last, but certainly not least - Iric Bernal teaching Mrs. Focht and Mrs. McDaniel how to drive the robot. It is not "traditional" art, but the robot was awesome and it was very exciting to watch as the students who had worked so hard to design and build it showed all that it could do. I was SO nervous watching as different people drove the robot and it took a little time to get up the courage to try and drive it too, but it was definitely the highlight of my day. (And, FYI, it is WAY harder to drive than the students who drive it for competitions make it look!)
Congratulations to ALL of the students who work so hard throughout the year to bring your passions to life. Thank you for sharing your gifts with all of us!
