Student's Art Chosen for IEAE ShowStudent's Art Chosen for IEAE Show

Congratulations to Veronica Plascencia  and her Art Educators for being selected to the 2018-2019 IAEA Student Art Show!!!

This wonderful Kindergarten-12th Grade Student Art Show demonstrates to the public the breadth of experience, content, and connections young people in Illinois are getting and making through their Art Programs.

Each year The Illinois Art Education Association members are invited to submit 10 images of stellar artwork created in their classroom. All art submissions are 2-dimensional artworks produced through a variety of techniques; painting, drawing, collage, mixed media, weaving, metalwork, photography, and technology.

This year 634 pieces of 2D art from students in grades Kindergarten through High School including 51 artworks highlighting the importance of celebrating the exceptional artwork created by Special Needs Students were submitted by seventy-five Illinois Art Teachers.

From the artwork submitted, 40 student pieces, plus 5 pieces from students with Special Needs Students, were chosen.

The judges for the 2018-2019 Student Art Show were art teachers representing the elementary, middle school & high school levels, and they judged areas that have taught before but do not teach now. The judging process was long & labored due to the tremendous amount of high-quality work submitted. Thank you to our judges: Heidi O’Hanley, Venessa Hardy, Kerry Parrish, Mary Ellen Bebber, and Angie Golden.
