The Visual Arts Showcase gives students of all ages and abilities the opportunity to create and display original works of visual art and photography.

This event celebrates student artwork and photography in conjunction with the La Entrada Associated Student Body’s Talent Show. As part of the National PTA’s “Reflections” art contest, the Visual Arts Showcase can be an entry point for student art to advance to the county, state, or national level!

In 2019, 7th-grade student Huraman O. won first place in the national competition for the Middle School Division for Photography! Her photograph, “Don’t Judge a Book by its Cover,” is below.

Artist Statement: My photo represents the [2019] theme, “look within” because it shows that you shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover. That means that its the pages and story that matters, not how pretty the cover is. The light represents somebody looking inside the book. That is why I believe that . my photo fits this theme.

 

VOLUNTEER RESPONSIBILITIES: Help recruit community judges, promote the event and assist with the Showcase.
