Student Artist's Ceramic Vase Heads to National Competition

Tandem sophomore Amelia Martin, a mid-year transfer from Albemarle High School, brings lots of artistic talent with her. In the fall, she submitted an art piece - a hand-built ceramic vase done in the sgriffito style - to the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards competition. Amelia recently received news that her submission won a “gold key”, which means it has moved up and is currently competing for national recognition in New York. Her piece is entitled Carcharadon Carcharias (great white shark). The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards competition ends in March. Amelia currently takes a sculptural ceramics class with Upper School art teacher Susan Brodie. Good luck, Amelia!
