L-S High School Students Receive Art Awards BY COURTNEY MENGEL
his year, 12 Lampeter-Strasburg High School (LSHS) students received Scholastic Art Awards and 19 LSHS students received Lancaster County Young Artist Awards. Since 1923, the Scholastic Art Awards have identified students with exceptional artistic and literary talent and presented their work to the world. The awards give students opportunities for recognition, exhibition, publication, and scholarships. The Lancaster County Young Artist Awards is a regional competition open to any student attending school in a participating district. Students and their teachers decide which competition to enter or to enter both. Categories include apparel, ceramics and glass, computer art, drawing, fibers, graphic design, jewelry and metals, mixed media, painting, photography, portfolio, printmaking, and sculpture. “The work these students submit

are more than just an assignment between the student and the teacher,” noted Margaret Lau, LSHS art teacher. “The students get a sense of validation and a great sense of accomplishment when they’re selected.” Jasmine Thompson and Wren Miller are the recipients of two of the Red Raven Art Company Scholarship Awards. Miller has been awarded the 2020 Carlson Art Scholarship and will show as the emerging artist at Red Raven Art Company in downtown Lancaster during the month of July. Thompson has been awarded the 2020 Mitch Lyons Clay Scholarship and will show at Red Raven as the emerging artist during the month of August. “The scholarships go right to their colleges,” explained Scott Cantrell, LSHS art teacher. “The recipients get to display their work at the gallery, write up a contract, and can make full commission by selling their artwork. Red Raven doesn’t take a cut because they’re emerging artists.”
