Nineteen third through eighth grade students from Emmanuel Christian Academy were recognized for their excellent artwork at the annual Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) Art Festival. The Festival, which took place on May 1, was held at Maranatha Bible Church (Maranatha) in Akron, Ohio.
During Emmanuel’s Annual Student Art Show in February, 20 original pieces from 19 students were selected for the ACSI Art Festival. Emmanuel students participated in the Ohio River Valley Regional, which was the final stage, and had their artwork judged on composition, craftsmanship, artist statement, use of elements and the principles of art. Students received ribbon awards rated Blue (Superior), Red (Excellent) and White (Good). The ACSI Art Festival is not a contest; it is a means of judging students’ artwork and awarding them according to their competency in the aforementioned categories.
