The Studio Art AP students at Oak Hills High School recently had the opportunity to meet internationally renowned sculptor Tom Tsuchiya. Tscuhiya, a Cincinnati native, is most notably known regionally for the creation of the sculptures of the Cincinnati Reds players Joe Nuxhall, Frank Robinson, Ted Kluszewski, Ernie Lombard, Joe Morgan, Tony Perez, and Johnny Bench at Great American Ball Park. Some of Tscuhiya’s other commissioned works include: the “Lux Mundi” sculpture of Jesus at Solid Rock Church in Monroe, Ohio; Xavier University and the University of Cincinnati’s mascot sculptures; “The Spirit of Christ” at Biola University; “Recycled Atlas”, a traveling work; and the “Madden Most Valuable Protectors Award”, a trophy awarded annually to the National Football League’s best offensive line.

The students were able to learn about Tsuchiya’s creative process, experiences with private and public commissioned works, and the innovative sculpting strategies being developed for his next addition to Great American Ball Park, Pete Rose, which was just announced this week.

The following OHHS Art and Design students who were selected to exhibit as a part of this year’s Biennial Regional High School Junior and Senior Juried Exhibition at Xavier University. The Competition was open to any junior or senior student currently enrolled in a regional high school and open to any artistic media.

The exhibition will be on view from November 4-18th in the Cohen Center gallery space on the campus of Xavier University. The opening reception and awards presentation will take place on November 4th, from 5:30-7:30 pm.

Congratulations to Emily Hetrick, Louisa Anderson, and Rebekah Buechler for being selected as part of this year’s exhibition!

CelebratingArt.com is devoted to the promotion and appreciation of student art. The intent of their student art contests is to motivate student artists.The top entries are published in an anthology that will record the creative works of today’s student artists.

Several OHHS Art and Design students recently submitted work and were invited to be published in “Celebrating Art”!  Only the best art is selected to be included in the full-color hardbound art book, “Celebrating Art”. Additionally, final judging for “Top Ten Artist” awards will be completed and announced soon. The following students should feel honored. This is not a contest where every entry is invited to be published and is a highly selective competition. Thousands of entries were not invited to be published. Being published represents a lot of talent, hard work and dedication from students.

Congratulations to the following students:
