Laurel Highlights Visual Arts During Student Art Exhibition

On April 27 Laurel hosted the Student Art Exhibition, which highlighted the visual arts accomplishments of students in Grades Nine through Twelve.
During the year, students could choose to work in a variety of mediums including drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, photography, textiles, digital art and more. Winners were selected by a panel of judges composed of art professionals from the Northeast Ohio community. The People's Art Awards are selected by our very own community of students. This special evening is dedicated to the exploration of visual arts and the vital role it plays in academic curriculum at Laurel. 

Read on for a list of all the winners and congratulations to all of our students on their hard work and creativity.
