19 Students Receive Artistic Recognition

Creativity, dedication, talent, technique—these are the gifts of 19 Saint Ignatius students whose artwork has been honored in a major art and writing competition. Once again, the creations of these young men has drawn the admiration of judges in the Scholastic Art & Writing Competition. Hundreds of thousands of pieces of student artwork are entered each year for judging, but only a small portion receive recognition.
 
“These young men exhibit an impressive variety of artistic range,” says Fine Arts teacher Julianna Burrows. “We are very proud of them.”

Daniel Anthony ’23 and Maxwell McNeill ’22 each led the way with three pieces receiving recognition. Daniel’s series of pastel refraction studies earned two Silver Keys and an Honorable Mention. Maxwell received a Silver Key and Honorable mention for a pair of mixed media projects, and Honorable Mention for poetry.
 
Adding to his glowing film resume, senior Nathan Kuczmarski (who was featured recently in Saint Ignatius Magazine), was honored with a Silver Key for his film portfolio, with his short “Fall Leaves” collecting an Honorable Mention Award.
