SAVAGE, MN: Students in Kate Piquette's Choice Based Art Studio
received awards in the Minnesota Scholastic Art Awards competition.
Kate teaches at St. John the Baptist Catholic School. Ali K, 8th
grader, has been awarded a silver key for her work titled "NEOTERIC
RELIC"
It is a collage on canvas in which she meticulously cut tiny shapes of
mat board to create hidden animals and design. This work took her all
of 3 months, class time and mornings. She completed it with modeling
paste in a squeeze bottle-like frosting and then painted the whole
thing with metallic paints. See if you can find the hidden animals.
Nolan R, 8th grader, won a merit award for his altered book entry.
Artwork will be on display from January 19 through February 11 at the
Minneapolis College of Art And Design gallery. The competition
received 1230 artwork entries and 194 were selected for the
exhibition.
