The 2020 Online Student Art Show: Printmaking Gallery
The 2020 Online Show coincided with schools closing because of the Coronavirus. The Student Art Fund is very pleased that we were able to offer an opportunity to Art Teachers and students whose usual end-of-the-year school art exhibits were cancelled. Art Teachers were especially challenged with creating lessons during the months of “Zoom Teaching.” They told us that the motivation of an online exhibit with prizes in five categories was very helpful for keeping students engaged and challenged. This years’ show has extra categories and three times the usual number of entries! We hope that students and teachers enjoy seeing their own and their peers’ work exhibited, and that the public sees the wonderful art education our youth are receiving in our local public schools.
This gallery includes prints created by students from junior high and high school art classrooms in Santa Barbara, Carpinteria and Goleta. The submitted artwork was evaluated and sponsored by art teachers at each school. Each art teacher was permitted to sponsor up to ten pieces per category. All of the artwork submitted is shown in the gallery below. Three equal Awards of Excellence have been awarded by Juror John Houchin for each category of the Online Show. We will work with the teachers about how to issue these awards to students who are all currently sequestered due to the Coronavirus. You can view the awards here.
