We’re proud of the following SASHS Artists who were accepted into the 2018 Scholastic 144 Exhibit at Shippensburg University! - Zoe Williard - Abby Williard - Kim Braet - Madelyn Facchinei - Kaitlyn Durff - Grace Daihl - Ryland Barrow The opening reception was on Saturday November 3rd from 1 – 3 p.m. at Huber Art Center's Kauffman Gallery on the Shippensburg University Campus. The exhibit ran from November 2nd to November 16th, 2018. This exhibition featured the finest art work by high school juniors and seniors from select counties in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Two dimensional entries were limited to 144 square inches and three dimensional entries were limited 12" x 12" x 12". This exhibition featured over $1,100 in prizes. Students from the A.P. Art History journeyed to the University of Pennsylvania's Penn Museum and the Philadelphia Art Museum to have an authentic encounter with ancient art and more modern masterworks. Experts universally agree that close-up experiences with art, both in museums and galleries, creates stronger understanding of the art and a greater aesthetic response. Our art history students viewed prehistoric, Mesopotamian, Egyptian, Greek, and Roman art at the Penn Museum, and works by great masters Mary Cassatt, Pablo Picasso, Claude Monet, Edgar Degas, and more at the Philadelphia Museum of Art (gallery below) This month, the AP Studio Art class and the high school art teachers visited the annual "Art of the State" juried exhibition at the State Museum in Harrisburg. The exhibit features art by professional artists from all over the Commonwealth. While there, the group met Best of Show winning artist, Isaac Pelepko (shown above with the group, posing in front of his winning painting). This trip has become an annual tradition for the AP Studio group and their teachers.

A collection that celebrated achievements, it also represented a significant mile marker in the students' artistic lives. The show featured work by senior artists Paige Cavanaugh, Ashton Harryman, Faith Howard, Maxwell Rakentine, Kalea Rotz, Victoria Sidella, and Sophia Wewer. The show ran from March 2-30, 2018, at the S.H.A.P.E.
