It’s often said that every picture tells a story. Using any media or combination of media (digital media is not accepted), create an original work of art (not graphic design) to tell your story. It can be the story of your past and what brought you to today or a peak into your future and your dreams with the story of who you want to be. Let your creativity and your story shine.
2017 WASB Winner Joseph Ladewig
Congratulations to Joseph Ladewig of Merrill Area Public Schools for his imaginative pencil drawing. Joseph is in 12th grade and is taught art by Linda De Broux.
Artist imagine the future. Scientists can make it happen. If an artist sketches a floating city or a human/animal robot, scientist can test it to see if it can happen. My drawing of an animal robot in nature could be the inspiration for a scientist and a new invention. Artists and scientists together can pave the way for the future. Both have ideas, theories and hypotheses that can become a reality if they work together in the laboratory and studio. This is how our greates invention have come to life.

I have always had an interest in Greek Mythology. When I read “Educating Hearts and Minds to Build Sustainable Communities and a Healthy Future”, I thought about the story of Pandora’s Box. In my piece, “Pandora” is depicted as a modern young girl. She is faced with the decision of opening the box. Her curiosity urges her to open it, but the knowledge she has gained from the book has given her insight on the consequences of opening the box. If she had opened the box all the evil would have been released into the world. She continues on with her life knowing her decision makes the world a better place and realizes that she, even just as one person can make a difference. |
Text: Inspire Excellence
My art work is of the moon covered partially by clouds with a planet in the distance. I created this art work, to show that, no matter how far away the moon and the planets you are, you can do the impossible. For example, no one ever thought we could go to the moon, they said it was impossible, but we did it; we went to the moon. Nothing is COMPLETELY impossible. Just a little time thought process and practice, you can inspire excellence. Just like when the people that went to the moon first tried to go to the moon, the rocket they went in was improved to be better every time they went to the moon. To me, to “inspire excellence” you must never be willing to give up. Not matter what it is, you must fight for it and work as hard as you can to conquer it. Anything can be made even better than it’s original. You just have to see the better in it, and fix it until it can no longer be made better. THAT is when you know you have “inspired excellence”.Brooke Elliott Wisconsin Association of School Boards, WAEA Award 2014
