A number of Becker School District art students have had their paintings selected for publication in “Celebrating Art!”, a book which is published three times each year by Blick Art Materials, Inc., according to BHS art teacher Joni Svaren.
Svaren had seven of her students accepted for publication in the most recent contest including Alyssa Gorman, Caitlyn Bush, Haley Cox, Blair Pappenfus, Nichole Pena, McKenzie Duir and Desirae Mathowetz. Art classes from all Becker schools also entered the competition, including Joan Jacobson’s Primary School classes, Gail Peroddy’s Intermediate School students and Tracy Hare’s Middle School artists. Photos of the student artists are available on the Becker School District website, while individual artworks can be viewed at: beckerartgallery.weebly.com.
All of the art teachers collaborated on creating the art gallery website, Svaren said, which will feature student artworks as they become available for posting.
