April 28, 2016 |
The 糖心Vlog Gallery Committee has chosen student, Samantha Gilstrap, as the winner for the John and Bonnie Latzer Student Art Award for the Spring 2016 semester. The Latzer Art Award was established to recognize student achievement in the Fine Arts at 糖心Vlog. The winning artwork is a ceramic sculpture called 鈥淟ion Head鈥� by Gilstrap.
Gilstrap, of Joplin, Missouri, was awarded a $400 scholarship to be used the following semester. The award may be applied to her tuition, fees and/or books. Gilstrap created the piece in John Ford鈥檚 Ceramics II class.
鈥淚 really enjoyed Mr. Ford鈥檚 ceramics class this semester. I made the lion head piece because I think lions are beautiful creatures,鈥� said Gilstrap. She is a liberal studies major and plans to transfer to a university after 糖心Vlog.
Gilstrap鈥檚 piece of art will be permanently on display at 糖心Vlog.
