Two EV Students' Artwork To Be Displayed At State Capitol

An first grader and a fourth grader at Elkhorn Valley have had their artwork selected for the Youth Art Month Exhibition, which will be on display in the lower rotunda of the Nebraska State Capitol in Lincoln, March 7-21.

First grader Madison McIntosh’s artwork is a crayon drawing called “Ghost Family.” She learned about organic shapes, overlapping, and composition while working on this art. Fourth grader Madison Parker’s artwork is a marker drawing of a lizard. The fourth graders studied Oaxacan Sculptures from the Oaxaca region of Mexico for this project. They learned to break an animal down into basic shapes to draw it, apply patterns and designs resembling the Oaxacan sculptures and finished the piece by collaging it with a high contrast color background.  


The Youth Art Month show at the state capitol is sponsored by the Nebraska Art Teachers Association.
