Ingrid Moldenhauer, a senior at Glenvar High School, and Alysia Strickland, a senior at Patrick Henry High School, attended "Three Days in March," a weekend residency program hosted by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond March 19-21.
The students applied for the program through the Art Museum of Western Virginia. The program, which included workshops, tours, gallery visits and art exercises, revolved around the theme "Seeing is Believing."
Janet Wimmer, an art teacher at Roanoke Valley Christian Schools, also participated in the program.
"It is a wonderful opportunity for kids in Virginia to meet artists, view exhibits and find out what's going on in the art world," said Wimmer, who has already used the polaroid transfer and fabricated photograph techniques she learned in her high school art foundations class. "We had lots of ideas by the time we left."
Science fair at VWCC|
Seventy-five students from five school districts will strut their scientific stuff Saturday at the Western Virginia Regional Science Fair in the Humanities Building of Virginia Western Community College.
The students, who have already won at the district or school levels, are competing in 12 categories for local college scholarships, cash prizes, savings bonds and calculators.
The public may view the exhibits during the open house, 1-2:30 p.m. Prizes will be awarded in the auditorium at 2:30.
The two top students, grand award winners, will qualify for the International Science and Engineering Fair in Louisville, Ky., in May.
It's that time again|
The Lord Botetourt Parent Teacher Student Association and After Prom Party Committee will sponsor the fourth annual Cavalier Cow Pie Contest Saturday at the high school football field.
