Student Art Exhibit for grades 6-8 and 9-12 Date: April 8, 2010 Students from Findlay City and Hancock County Schools will have art work on display this week end at the Findlay Art League Gallery. The 2010 Student Art Exhibit for grades 6-8 and 9-12 opens Thursday, April 8, from 6:30-8:00 pm, with awards presentation at 7:00. This show and the awards given to students are made possible by the generosity of the McClelland Family Student Art Endowment Fund, The Bill Graham Memorial Trust, and Chase Bank. Art Teachers in the city, county, parochial and home schools were invited to bring two pieces of artwork per grade, one per student, for this display. The show has been judged by Robert Minto, who taught art at Ada School for 32 years before becoming principal of the high school there. He has been an adjunct faculty member at The University of Findlay for several years, teaching art classes and serving as a student teacher supervisor. Robert produces pottery of all sizes and descriptions in a pottery studio and gallery called Fallen Willow Pottery, on his farm in rural Mount Cory. The former tool shed was converted by Robert, who also built a kiln there which is more than seven feet high and five feet wide. Sometimes practical, sometimes whimsical, always creative, each piece of his pottery is individually designed and formed, so each is a piece of art work. Robert has shown his work in many galleries, and has won numerous awards, including from the Toledo Museum of Art, the Findlay Art League, and Wassenberg Art center, Van Wert, Ohio. He is past president of the Findlay Art League. Bill Graham Memorial Awards in grades 6-8 will be given to the following students: $500 First Place to Alisa Warren, Van Buren, for “Recollection”; $250 Second Place to Miki Kussmaul, Cory Rawson, for “The Autumn Plague”; and $100 to Ketelyn Shepehrd, Vanlue, for and Untitled Piece.
