This past Tuesday the student art contest was held.  We were visited by not only the student artist with their teacher but also the Superintendent of Paramount Unified School district, Dr. Ruth Perez.  Students who participated were competing for local scholarships as well as the chance to move on to the Rotary Pageant of the Arts where they will compete against other high school students for larger scholarship money. 
 
The Rotary Pageant of the Arts will be held on March 5th at Loyola Marymount University. Below are a few highlights of the contest.  You may see all the photos in the photo album link in this bulletin.
 
  Natalie Campos. "Horse" 1st. PLACE
This was a school project where a small picture of this horse was shown and the students had to copy and enlarge their final copy 4 or 5 times. This was totally done in pencil. The shading was excellent.
 
  Damerus Hernandez. "The Universe". 2nd. PLACE
She said that the universe must be very colorful place so she used many colors in her Pastel rendering to show the beauty of that which is so far away.
 
  Luis Fuentes. "Moon Light with Tree". 3rd. PLACE
This silhouette was done in the "Pointillism technic" using a #7 brush. This is a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of color are applied in patterns to form an image. Georges Seurat and Paul Signac developed the technique in 1886.
 
Thank you to all the students who participated and congratulations to the winners.  May they have luck on their side at the Rotary Art Pageant.  Once again, to see more of the art and artist click on the photo link in this bulletin.
