From: Mr. Gainey, Art Teacher Hello all, We had another good year at the South Dakota State Art Competition of 2023! This year we had five pieces of art that were entered! Riley Lunderman with her ceramic piece, Mackenize Wike with a drawing (colored) piece, Marshaylis Dillon with her traditional art piece, Dominique McCloskey with her 3D piece, and Sam Beardt with his digital art piece! I strongly encourage everyone to go to https://www.sdpb.org/hsactivities/finearts/visualarts/ to view all art submissions that went to state art. I am very proud of all my students who participated in this show! I am happy to say that Sam Beardt brought home a 1st place medal from state art for his digital piece "Monster Kitchen"! All pieces will be in this year's art show so if you're wanting to see it in person, please come to the show in May! If you can't wait I will post them above/below! I will also be getting more photo's of everyone with their art piece later this week. GO TIGERS -Gainey
