Students Recognized At Local Art Shows!

PCA is home to many talented artists, and this year several of them were recognized for their talents at local art festivals. 

Tri-County Youth Art Exhibition in the North Charleston Arts Fest:

Out of 50 participating schools in the area, the following students' art earned an honorable mention for their overall composition and skills from the event's judges.

• Saylor Sorensen (Grades 6-8 category) for her low country watercolor painting 
• Wyatt Campbell (Grades 4-5 category) for his mixed media paper weaving
• Zella Horton (Grade 9-12 category) for her acrylic painting of the marsh

The ArtFields Jr. Art Competition:

While a handful of students at PCA submitted their art for review, only second grader Kara McKenzie was selected by the review panel for her “colorful, layered and full of life” piece titled, “Octopus and Sea Turtle” .

“It was exciting to have a student representing PCA at Art Fields Jr. for the first time this year!” said art teacher Anna Boyer. “I appreciate the support of all of the parents that worked to submit their children's art during the changes we dealt with this year due to COVID-19.”

Congratulations to all of our talented artists!!!
