Generation art Local students honored for standout creations Photos by DaviD PowDrell
Hearts and souls were transferred to paper and pottery over the course of the school year, and last week, students from throughout Carpinteria were recognized for their courageous creations at the awards ceremony for the annual Carpinteria Woman’s Club Art Contest. From artists just learning to hold a paintbrush to those with several years of training in their strokes, the contest honored kindergarten to 12th-grade students. The Carpinteria Arts Center hosted the event, collaborating with the Woman’s Club to promote budding artists in the community.
Averi Alexander of Carpinteria Family School won first place for her oil pastel and paper collage entitled “Lion King.”
Chloe Papke won this year’s top prize, the Senior Merit Award, for her outstanding work in ceramics.
