The Berlin High School Art Department is pleased to announce that
four of our students have won awards at the
2017 Connecticut Regional Scholastic Art Awards!

This national program was originated to honor the creative efforts of grade 7 to 12 students in public, private and parochial schools. It is now the largest and most senior program of its type in the country.  Following the close of the Conn. Regional exhibit, the select Gold Key award winners from each national region will have their art works reviewed by a blue ribbon panel of judges at the National level in March. The National Jury will select “Gold Medal” National winners and call in their artwork to be exhibited in New York City during June. The National student awards ceremony will be held at Carnegie Hall in mid- June.

Student Art Work on Farmington Avenue

Posted on by

Congratulations to Stephanie Boice whose window concept was chosen for the holidays!  This is a community bridging endeavor between Berlin High School and Scraptivity.  Her concept sketch was chosen among others to be painted on the large front windows of the store.  Scraptivity is a local reuse/repurpose art supply store on 1020 Farmington Avenue, Berlin.  To be a contestant, students turn in concept sketches to Mrs. Miller (Room 1701). Every month (or two), all concept sketches are then turned in to the shop owner who decides whose work will be featured next.  Along with the opportunity to have their work on the main strip in Berlin, students receive a twisted board dry erase board, (examples in 1701) and a newspaper write up by the owner.  What a great opportunity and resume builder!  Congratulations to Stephanie!
