Rising to the Challenge

rtists are thriving at Dunn School. Last spring, student writers, performers and visual artists receive well-earned Applause from the Young Artists Program, sponsored by Arts Outreach. More than half of the artists in the Visual category were Dunn students, with 21 pieces making the finalist list. Their artwork was on display at Gallery Los Olivos for the month of April. First place went to Heidi He for her piece “Otaku’s Daily Life.” Hand drawn using a Wacom tablet and digitally painted, the piece impressed judges. Second place went to Daine Chung for “Still Life” in charcoal. “These two young women are creating amazing work this year also, along with Joyce Lin who won the first place prize in 2013 and Teddy Xiong who has earned a spot on the finalist list every year since she arrived at Dunn,” says art teacher Nancy Yaki. Last spring Dunn students also competed in the 2014 Scholastic Art and Writing competition and won three gold keys and three silvers along with an honorable mention. This year six students submitted 25 pieces to the Scholastic competition. Results will be announced in April. ARTISTS continued on page 2
