Leave a comment

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.

Leave a comment

The Wisconsin Art Education Association (WAEA) hosts 6 regional student art exhibitions across the state of Wisconsin. Over 600+ K-12 student artworks are submitted by WAEA members. Each region organizes a local regional exhibition consisting of an opening reception for the young artists. All students are eligible to receive an award by an arts professional. From the regional exhibition, a percentage of the artworks are selected to advance to the state art exhibition in Madison in celebration of Youth Art Month in March. There will be a public awards ceremony on March 22, noon – 1 pm, at the East Town Mall, 89 East Towne Mall, Madison, WI 53704. This is open to the public.

The Sheboygan North High Art Department is pleased to announce that six art students advance to the state art exhibition. They are Ellie B (gr. 10), Danica D (gr. 11), Dennis H (gr. 9), Lilac L (gr. 12), Audrey M (gr.10), and Maria M (gr. 10).

Sheboygan North High Art Teachers Present at State Art Education Conference

Leave a comment

Sheboygan, Wisconsin – Sheboygan North High art teachers Dannielle Arneson and Frank Juárez will be presenting at the annual Wisconsin Art Education Association Fall Conference in Red Wing, Minnesota in late October 2022. This year’s conference is a collaboration between two state art education associations; Art Educators of Minnesota and Wisconsin Art Education Association.

Arneson will be co-presenting on Interested in Becoming a Nationally Board Certified Art Teacher? This presentation will guide art educators about the process and how it is relevant for professional growth. In addition, a brief overview and an honest description of the work and time needed to achieve and maintain National Board Certification will be shared. Juárez will be presenting on Designing Your Very Own Virtual Artist Talks Series. In this seminar, attendees will learn how to design a virtual artist talk series centered on college and career readiness using readily available platforms to interview North art alumni.

This year’s conference theme is Collaboration, which will bring visual art educators from across both states for professional development, motivational keynote speakers, networking, and camaraderie. The National Art Education Association recognizes that the visual arts are grounded in the communities from which they come. Communities are complex, dynamic, and diverse. Communities bring people together and prompt individuals to identify themselves and each other as members of a group. NAEA members are encouraged to work with local, state, and national organizations that share common visions and goals. Resulting community arts collaborations can be nurtured through partnership projects and advocacy efforts.

“The type of art I do in graphic design is bold and graphic, where I really try to express ideas in a clever, fun and entertaining way. I use typography, iconography, and photography to create visual communication pieces and design systems. While craftsmanship is extremely important to me, I try hard to produce art that goes beyond “pretty”. My goal is to create pieces that are cinematic and memorable”
