Islip Art Students Honored

Alexa Revans, Lauren Goldstein, Alyssa Krolick and Jackie Bahnsen were all participants in “Long Island’s Best” Art competition at the Heckscher Museum in Huntington. Though they did not make final standing in the show, they did advance through many levels of competition. The process of going to the museum, writing the essay, vying for positions and withstanding harsh critiques was truly a wonderful, priceless learning experience. All work will be on display at the 2011 Festival of the arts.

Lauren Goldstein has been selected as the only art student in Islip High School to win the Town of Islip Student Achievement Award. There will be a ceremony held at 401 Main street an May 5th at 7:00 pm. Lauren worked very hard this year in many areas of art and has put much effort in saturating her senior year of high school with differentiated technique through various art classes producing truly compelling art this year. Look for her work at the 2011 Festival of the Arts.

Wing Auditorium Murals

Several students from Mrs. Jenk’s class were chosen at random to create murals to be displayed in the Wing Auditorium. The murals were created with acrylic paint on wood and will be displayed for the children’s concerts in winter and spring.  Congratulations to Michael Welton, Cassandra Alvarez, Carinn Argenziano, Sophie Bienkowski, Madison Micheletti, Finola Pegion, and Kaitlyn Trocchio.
