Eight students from Mrs. Lyon’s Drawing 2, Painting 2, and AP Visual Art classes had their work accepted into the prestigious Black & White Competition at the Eccles Community Art Center. This juried exhibit invites artists to explore form, texture, and value using only black, white, and grayscale.
Because this is a professional art show, not a student exhibition, our students are competing and exhibiting alongside established artists. We are incredibly proud of their hard work, creativity, and the recognition they’ve earned through this achievement! 👏🖤🤍
