2nd Floor Studio @ MCS: MCS Youth Art Month 2015

YAM! Youth Art Month

March has been declared National Youth Art Month. This is a time where we celebrate Art Education and all that it has to offer our youth and students. It is a time to emphasize Art Education in schools and to encourage quality Art Programs at schools.

Creating and exploring through art helps many students make sense of all they are experiencing and learning in school. It is a different way to problem solve and manipulate tools and resources. It plays a vital role in our children's education and we hope to share the strength of our program here at MCS.

The Central Catskills Chamber of Commerce supports this program and several judges came in a few weeks ago and judged our top students' art work. They chose several winners and honorable mentions from different grade levels. The work is now going into Chamber businesses in our school district. Students are encouraged to visit their artwork being proudly displayed in frames out in public with their ribbons.

After the work is taken down in April we will have a Ceremony in our Art Gallery and present the gifts and prizes to the Winners and Honorable Mention students.

Here is the High School portion of the show!
