Grades 7/8: Students Earn Art Awards
Four Graland art students came home with recognition from the Scholastic Art Awards of Colorado after entering their creative pieces in the 2016 competition.
They were judged against more than 5,500 works from Colorado students in grades 7-12 on the basis of originality, technical competence and personal voice. Gold Key art is sent to the national level to compete with Gold Key winners from other states, and one of our seventh graders will join this prestigious group of student artists.
