Tyler's Art Show

Tyler has some of his art in 2 art shows in town.  The first in the Juried Art Show at the Bismarck Art Center, which is where different pieces of art are hand selected from local high schools and are judged by an art professor from Minnesota State University in Moorhead.  There were about 100 different drawings, paintings, & sculpture on display at the Art Center.  Tyler's didn't win there, but it was a huge honor to even have something selected for the show.  His drawing is charcoal, and is titled "Emptiness".

The second show was at his high school.  It's the Bismarck Public Schools Spring Art Exhibit, and featured pieces from the public middle schools and high schools (there are 2 of them).  Tyler entered 3 of his things.  Art 1 and the middle school pieces were judged separately from the Art 2 & 3 pieces.  There were 3 big glass cases of Art 2 & 3 pieces, with probably 20 or so things in each case.  So out of 60-70 pieces of art maybe 8 won an Artistic Merit Award, and one of Tyler's won!!!!  He was so excited!  Here is his winning drawing...it's a charcoal drawing on pieced newspaper.  This one is called "Lies of Republicans"   :) .

These are the other two he had entered.  The first is a coffee painting...they used different strengths of coffee to paint with.  It's Gandhi.

And this one is of a mountain goat:

He also got a Presidential Education Award:

We're very proud!  And Kudos to Matthew Joseph for holding down the fort and making his brother and sister dinner....French Toast Sticks and Ramen, the dinner of champions!  :)
