Sophomore’s Artwork Advances to State Level of Art Competition

Rain Wilson ’24 created a medallion titled Chicken Little in Mrs. Susan Southard's Textiles and Jewelry course. It was submitted to the Ohio Governor's Youth Art Exhibition, a competition of art created by high school students across the state of Ohio. Rain’s piece was accepted at the state level of the competition after advancing through the first round and regional adjudication.

Rain created her piece from copper and brass. She riveted the pieces together, added a patina and hand-made the cotton chain.

“Chicken Little” was on display with the other state-level qualifiers in a special exhibition at the James A. Rhodes State Office Tower in Columbus from April 24-May 19.
