Swint, Franklin, and Rachel Win Outstanding Art Awards
Swint, Franklin, and Rachel Win Outstanding Artists Awards
By Jackie Campbell
Hoxie High School held its annual All School Art Show featuring artwork from grades kindergarten through twelfth grade, along with the 7-12 Spring Concert and Industrial Arts Show, on May 9, 2022. A Hoxie resident, with an art-related background, judged the high school work and awarded an Outstanding Senior Artist, two-dimensional Best of Show project, three-dimensional Best of Show project, 16 gold stars, 10 silver stars, and 5 bronze stars awards.
All seniors were to represent their artwork on panels. Out of eight seniors that displayed their work, Troy Swint was named “Outstanding Senior Artist” for his overall work for the year. The “2-D Best of Show” Award was given to junior Ali Franklin for her Charcoal drawing titled “Jeepers Creepers.” The “3-D Best of Show” was given to senior Brandy Rachel for her African clay mask. The projects from these students clearly showed originality, craftsmanship, and beauty.
