Teen-Age Talent 2011 Award Winners

Congratulations to the award winners in Teen-Age Talent, a special exhibit showcasing artwork by students from Coshocton, River View and Ridgewood High Schools. On display at the Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum, this annual exhibit remains on display through May 11^th.

Students placed each of their submissions in one of the following categories. Fine Art (2-D), 3-Dimensional Fine Art, Design (Works meant to inform or entertain), and Black and White Drawing. Each category was judged for Composition, Technique (craftsmanship or effective use of medium), and Originality.

Judges for the exhibit were Thomas Chaney and Anne Thomas. The judges, impressed with the level of talent and sophistication of the works, noted how difficult it was to decide on the winners in some of the categories. They encouraged the artists to focus on design, the most crucial tool in an artist repertoire.
