Art selected for holiday greeting card

Imagine a cold winter's night, stars twinkling in the sky and a child wrapped up in mittens and a hooded coat? That's the image that was selected for the District's annual holiday greeting card and the artist who drew it is Jinny Seo, 8th grader at Heritage Middle School.

Jinny's art, entited "Winter Greetings," was drawn on the computer using Photoshop 5.5 and a mouse. Her art teacher, Barnabas Strickland, said that Jinny learned in art class about using Photoshop for contrast and shading. Jinny received a surprise visit from Dr. Waggoner, superintendent, and a $25 gift card to Target.

Artists from middle and high schools submitted a variety of artwork for the cover art of the card and all the art is on display throughout December in The Gallery at the Administration building.The winning art was selected by a group of District employees and the Superintendent based on orginality, theme, use of colors and overall design.
