We are thrilled to announce Senior Taylor S has been selected to represent Sheboygan North High School in the upcoming teen exhibition, “This Little Light of Mine: A Teen Perspective on Joy”. Her drawing, “Beauty in Authenticity” will be on exhibit at the Museum of Wisconsin Art in West Bend later this month. Congratulations, Taylor!

This exhibition runs from April 27–July 21, 2024. There is an opening reception on Saturday, April 27 from 2 – 4 pm. MOWA is located at 205 Veterans Avenue, West Bend, WI 53095.

About this exhibition

In This Little Light of Mine: A Teen Perspective on Joy, teen artists explore what feeds the human spirit.

Every year MOWA’s Teen Council invite their peers to reflect on contemporary issues and thinking in a special annual exhibition organized by Teen Council members. This year, students were asked to consider how their lives foster joy, and to view the exhibition as an opportunity to celebrate both the mundane and extraordinary—in details about themselves, their journeys, relationships, communities, or the surrounding world that nourish their souls. This Little Light of Mine: A Teen Perspective on Joy encourages teens to be mindful of what fills their own cup but also how they contribute to the joy of others.

The exhibition features artworks from thirty-three regional high schools. Art educators from each school selected one piece to represent their art program and this year’s exhibition theme.

The Sheboygan North High Art Department became a National Art Honor Society (NAHS) chapter in 2018. This is the first chapter of its kind in our North High history dedicated to the visual arts and art education.

Visual arts education is essential to 21st-century learning. As a NAHS chapter, we utilize NAEA (National Art Education Association) to stay ahead of developments in the field of arts education by being introduced to a broad perspective of important research, issues, and policy trends that are important. As an NAHS chapter, we are connected to thousands of chapters from around the U.S. who are passionate about the integral role of the visual arts in ensuring all students to receive a high-quality, effective, and well-rounded education.

We believe that the National Art Honor Society will provide our students with pathways leading to career and college readiness. In addition, introducing them to diverse art experiences beyond the walls of Sheboygan North High School aimed to expand their creative minds, gain new art skills, collaborate, and provide them with leadership opportunities, which will contribute to their personal, artistic, and academic growth.

This past weekend, Sheboygan North High art students attended a couple of receptions. Junior William L and Izzy A attended the Milwaukee Art Museum’s Scholastic Art Exhibition to receive their Silver key in Sculpture and Gold Key in Drawing/Illustration, respectively. Several North high art students attended the Sheboygan Visual Artists Student Art Show at EBCO. For some, it was the first time exhibiting in an art gallery. Talent comes in all shapes and sizes. We are happy that we were able to provide these students with opportunities to showcase their creative works.

The Milwaukee Art Museum’s Scholastic Art Exhibition had over 2,800+ submissions from middle and high school art students from Wisconsin. 778 were selected for this prestigious student art exhibition. The Sheboygan Visual Artists Student Art Show features K-12 student artwork from Sheboygan County.

About

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the national Scholastic Art Awards program, which acknowledges excellence in the visual arts and encourages the artistic endeavors of young people throughout the United States. The Milwaukee Art Museum has hosted the awards for the Wisconsin region since 1976, sharing the extraordinary talents of students in grades 7–12 for the entire community to celebrate at its annual exhibition. For the 2023 Scholastic Art Awards exhibition, we will not only present more than 350 artworks by students from across our state but also highlight past awards recipients represented in the Museum’s collection, including Harry Bertoia, Robert Indiana, Cy Twombly, John Wilde, and Andy Warhol.

The exhibition features works spanning mediums from painting to design. A jury of regional arts professionals, including artists, university faculty, and gallerists, selects the works from approximately 2,500 submissions across 16 categories: Architecture & Industrial Design, Ceramics & Glass, Comic Art, Design, Digital Art, Drawing & Illustration, Editorial Cartoon, Expanded Projects, Fashion, Film & Animation, Jewelry, Mixed Media, Painting, Photography, Printmaking, and Sculpture. The Silver Key Award denotes statewide recognition. Artworks awarded a Gold Key later compete at the national level in New York. Historically, many award winners go on to achieve distinction in the fine arts, applied arts, and design, often crediting their success to the early recognition they received as participants in Scholastic.
