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. This years art students kick it off strong with their first project. Using references from M.C. Escher's art works, students were given four to five pieces of the photo to draw realistically with pencil and charcoal. Once completed, everyone's little pictures create one of Escher's entire pieces.
Centralia Art Studio 2 finished their first project of the year. Vase face or monster face is an exercise designed to demonstrate the possibility of conflict between the brain's language mode, which Mrs. Neufeld has termed "L-Mode", and its visual-perceptual mode, or "R-mode." The "Vase/Faces" drawing is a visual illusion drawing that can be seen either as two facing profiles or as a symmetrical vase in the center. The students were given one half of the drawing, and their job was to draw the second profile-thus inadvertently complementing the symmetrical vase in the center.
Check out the amazing artwork on local businesses downtown. CHS advanced art students did a wonderful job!
