Montgomery County Public Schools Students Art Work Displayed at Johns Hopkins University Local Campus

Art work created by students from 16 Montgomery County Public High Schools will be on display at the Johns Hopkins University Montgomery County Campus.

The exhibit is one of JHU’s programs designed to get students excited about STEAM education. The A in STEAM is for “art,” which officials say is an important component of a well-rounded student’s education. (STEAM is an acronym for Science-Technology-Engineering- Art-Mathematics).

Although nearly 300 works of art were submitted, jurors selected 59 to be showcased. Officials say seven students won prizes.

The show’s judges were Andrew Wodzianski, Professor and Coordinator of visual arts at the College of Southern Maryland; and Bryan Hill, Patron of the Arts.

2^nd Place: Across Differences by Sarah Asofsky of Quince Orchard High School.

Mom’s Makeup  by Claire Yang of Winston Churchill High School.

The Johns Hopkins University show is now in its 13^th year. Officials say Plaza Artist Materials donated the canvases.
