By: Faith Mills, Contributing Writer In the bustling world of education, where textbooks and tests often reign supreme, there exists a realm where creativity knows no bounds—the Clarence Cannon Conference (CCC). It's a place where imagination takes flight, colors dance on canvases and every stroke of a brush tells a story. For Mrs. Neufeld and the Centralia High School Art Studio I and II classes, this journey into the heart of artistic expression became a memorable adventure, weaving together moments of inspiration and camaraderie.
Students started their day leaving the school at 7 a.m. and arrived at Truman State University at 8:30 a.m. The CCC Art show had workshops students could participate in between 9-11:30 a.m while the judge started on placing the artworks. The workshops consisted of making logos, watercolor demo, make a button, danger noodle soft sculpture, monotype printing, and camera-loss image making. Awards were held at 11:45 a.m. Afterwards students were allowed to eat lunch on campus at the Student Union. First place winners were Faith Mills (ink) and Georgia Gooding (pencil), second place winners were Lealia Whisler (pastel) and Andrea Miller (watercolor), third place winners were Cora Davenport (watercolor) and Morgan Dimmit (mixed media) and honorable mentions were Braylin Brunkhorst (watercolor), Cora davenport (Printmaking), Kendal Crosby (Pastel) and Drew Brown (printmaking). Each art category was judged separately, with 14 categories total. They consisted of pencil, charcoal, color pencil, pastels, ink, opaque painting, watercolor/transparent, printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, graphics, photography, mixed media, and fiber arts. In each category there was a first, second, third place and three honorable mentions. Then, overall, a best of show was chosen and they received a 8x10 plaque. |
