Congratulations are in order for Kingsford Middle School 6th grade student Kalia Lampi! Kalia was recently chosen as one of the winners of the annual Meemic Masterpiece Art Contest. My 2nd trimester Art 6 class was assigned the task of creating a submission. Students brainstormed, completed critiques with their peers, and eventually had one final project. The students pictured below completed the entire submission process in addition to turning in their work for a grade. Each year, this contest invites K-12th grade students to submit an original piece of artwork using a theme for inspiration. For this year, the theme was: For Your Safety. Students had to choose between vehicle, pedestrian or online safety. Kalia said, “My art piece was inspired by driver's safety, I drew a fox crossing the road, and the person in the car on their phone. I used pencils and watercolors.” The committee of judges chose 44 winners from entries submitted from students in Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and Georgia. Each winning student artist will receive a HP Chromebook, a framed certificate, and their submission will be featured in a virtual art gallery later this year. In addition, Kalia’s winning submission also earns a $300 school supply grant to be used by the teacher who coordinated the contest entry for the following school year. This contest was conducted by The Meemic Foundation for the Future of Education, a non-profit company started in 1992 by the Meemic Insurance Company. Both companies are focused on serving and giving back to dedicated educational communities. More details can be found here.
