Olympics of the Visual Arts

OVA is a Winter Extracurricular at Woodland Hill among many other schools throughout New York, organized by the New York State Art Teachers Association. The organization annually hosts a creative problem-solving event in which student teams of one or more enter a long-term design solution in one of eight categories and participate in an on-demand design prompt. Teams present a portfolio along with their entry to showcase the research, planning and iterations that led to the final design. This friendly and spirited competition among students across the state is a wonderful way for students to interact with other student artists and together celebrate creativity.

Our students and art staff headed to the event on Thursday, April 27 with their projects ready and creative minds on for the spontaneous challenge. Our team placed in 6 categories of their own division. We are so proud of the students hard work over these past few months!
