Century High School Art Showcase

in the Party Room
On Wednesday, May 26th at, 1:30pm in the Party Room nine talented Advanced Placement students from Century High School’s art program will share and discuss their senior art projects as part of the Artist @ Cornell Program at Cornell Estates.
The students have the opportunity to receive college credits by submitting a portfolio with 24 works of art in either a drawing, 2D design or 3D portfolio. All students are required to have six pieces of art for FAME night to complete their senior project requirement for graduation. FAME (Focused Arts and Media Education) night is June 2nd at 6pm at Century High school. Their art teacher Anne Johnson said, “This class has been outstanding. They are constantly challenging themselves and doing amazing work!”
The following are biographies from 3 students who will be participating:
Roxanne Olsson’s art work is inspired by world cultures and her travels to China. She loves experiencing and researching other cultures and brings that to her artwork. Often times her pieces are combinations of animals, people, and traditional patterns that are part of a specific country or region. Next year she will be attending the University of Oregon for International Studies.
Katerina Edwards is inspired by the Fauvists (such as Matisse) and then likes to incorporate contour drawing. Her primary subjects are friends and family as well as incorporating backgrounds that are relevant to the person or personality. She will either go to Portland State University, to study psychology and art or to Pacific Northwest College of Art.
