Springer Student Artwork Gains National, State, and Local Recognition
Under the guidance of Springer art teacher, Corrinne Thaler, three Springer students have gained recognition for their artwork in recent months. Anna Harty's multi-media collage was the featured art for the Hyde Park Square Art Show promotional poster. Patrick Schenk received national placement when his tempera painting "A Walk Through the Jungle" was selected for the cover of the September/October 2008 issue of the Journal of Learning Disabilities. The Summer 2008 issue of ARTline, a publication of the Ohio Art Education Association, chose Mac Sudbrack's mixed media painting for the cover. Congratulations to our talented Springer students!
