CHELMSFORD HIGH SCHOOL and MIDDLE SCHOOL ART STUDENTS RECEIVE BOSTON GLOBE ART-SCHOLASTIC ART AWARDS

Art Teachers in Chelmsford were notified this past weekend that art students at Chelmsford High School, Parker Middle School, and McCarthy Middle School earned 32 awards this year at the Boston Globe-Scholastic Art Awards!

Since 1923, The Scholastic Art Awards have offered millions of students the opportunity to display their art works for regional and national recognition. The objective of the program is to foster the confidence of young artists and to invite students to broaden their horizons while winning national recognition.  The Scholastic Art and Writing Awards are the largest and longest running programs of their kind in the country.

The teachers who have submitted work to the Globe Art Awards (listed below) have worked diligently and spent a significant amount of their own time working with students to develop their work, choose pieces for submission, and to edit and enter digital photos of student work.

The Boston Globe Scholastic Art Awards Program is administered by the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and works are judged by respected members of the art education community. 

Students in Grades 7-12 enrolled in public and non-public schools in Massachusetts submitted entries for adjudication at the beginning of January.  

There are several levels of awards:

• American Vision Nominee
• Senior Portfolio Gold Key
• Scholarship
• Gold Key
• Silver Key
• Honorable Mention

The Gold Key winning works will be on exhibit at Boston’s City Hall March 7-30, 2014, and

 work by students who received a Gold Key will be shipped to the national competition. If selected at the national level, their artwork may be chosen for exhibition in New York for the National Exhibit.

All students who received awards will be invited to participate in an upcoming episode of the CPS Fine Arts Department TV show, “Spotlight on Fine Arts,” that airs on Telemedia channels 22 Comcast /36 Verizon.
