More than 150 students in kindergarten through grade six participated in the annual contest. With the theme, “The Wonder All Around Us,” students were tasked with creating original, two-dimensional artwork. All submissions will be on display at the Arts & Chocolate Spring Spectacular on Saturday, March 24, 2018, at the Community & Recreation Center at Boyce Mayview Park.
The mission of the Arts in USC contest is to bring opportunities of artistic expression to all students in kindergarten through grade 12, while making it possible for students to have a contest experience. Kindergarten through sixth grade students have the opportunity to submit artwork to this in-house competition, which is judged at each grade level within each school. First place artwork for each elementary grade advances to district-wide judging.
Students in grades seven through 12 have the opportunity to participate in the national Scholastic Art & Writing Competition. To encourage participation, the USC PTC helps to defray the cost of student submissions.
