Students in grades 7 through 12, went out to Ashland, Frackville, Ringtown, Butler Township, and Girardville to decorate business windows. This year’s theme for the windows was “Under the Sea”.
Students first submit a drawing on paper of their ideas, and the top selections as determined by the Art Department at North Schuylkill. Students are then assigned a window where they convert their drawing to a painting.
Each year, retired North Schuylkill Art teachers travel from town to town, judging each of the paintings. Prizes are awarded for: Grand Prize, 1st place, 2nd place, 3rd place, and Honorable Mention.
According to contest coordinator, Art Teacher Kerri Herring said the contest includes 42 entries this year.
