Congratulations to the 2 OHHS Art and Design students whose art was selected as a High Merit piece for the Summer 2022 Celebrating Art competition and publication!

Day of the Girl2022 is a collective impact initiative founded by a small group of people in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA to amplify girls’ voices as leaders and innovators of positive change. By creating shared moments of inspiration and impact, Day of the Girl commemorates International Day of the Girl Child – an international day of observance declared by the United Nations in 2012 and now observed annually on October 11th. 

The theme of our Day of the Girl 2022 content is “I am more than..” Through this theme, they are exploring what strengthens us, emboldens us, and inspires us.  One of the ways they’re illustrating this theme is through original artwork submitted by young artists from around the world. For the next two weeks, they’ll be showcasing their art on the Day of the Girl social media channels so please check it out!

Featured as the first artwork in observation of International Day of the Girl, is OHHS Art and Design student Anna Ackman! Be on the lookout for more young women artists from OHHS expressing their voices over the course of the next few weeks.

“Celebrating Art” is devoted to the promotion and appreciation of student art. The intent of their student art contest is to motivate student artists. The top entries are published in an anthology that will record the creative works of today’s student artists.

Students recently submitted work and 16 OHHS Art and Design students were invited to be published in the Summer 2022 “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” and “High Merit 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.

The OAEA (Ohio Art Education Association) High School Show showcases Ohio’s Emerging Artists’ artistic efforts. The Emerging Artist show is dedicated to showcasing the artistic efforts of students who have only had the chance to take one or two art classes in high school. The competitive professional forum is intended to prepare young artists for their creative future in college or in an art career. This showcase is designed to inspire new artists to excel in areas of drawing, painting, sculpture, crafts, computer art, photography, and printmaking. Everyone involved should be proud of the students who inspire, creative thinking, problem-solving and skillful techniques.  

This year’s exhibition showcases 194 works of art by students in grades nine through eleven from across the state. The work will be on display at the King Arts Complex in Columbus this fall.   

Congratulations to the following students from Ms. Schorsch’s Drawing and Printmaking class for being selected to exhibit at this year’s Emerging Artist show.

Anna Ackman, “The Plush Life”
Molly Audretch, “Care Bear Stare”
