Shaker Junior High students place at state-wide
  Olympics of the Visual Arts competition


On Friday, March 30, four Shaker Junior High School teams placed at the state-wide Olympics of the Visual Arts (OVA) competition at the Saratoga City Center.

The junior high architecture and sculpture teams each placed first in the competition, the drawing group placed second, and an illustration team placed third overall.

 

OVA provides an opportunity for students to participate in individual or group artistic problem solving. A new series of problems is posed every fall, and students create long-range solutions at their schools, and travel to the annual symposium to compete on short-range problems in a day-long celebration of creativity.

 

The OVA competition is sponsored by the NYS Art Teachers Association (NYSATA), click here for more information.

 

Congratulations to all of the students who participated!
