Granite School District Art Olympics showcases student artistic talents

West Valley City, Utah-The Granite School District held its annual Art Olympics Wednesday at Granger High.

Over 80 students had the opportunity to enter their work in various categories: Black and white drawing, color drawing, concept or digital art, opaque painting, watercolor, mixed media, sculpture, hand built ceramics and wheel thrown ceramics. Just like the Olympics, select students were awarded with either gold, silver or bronze awards for each of the categories.

“A lot of the focus is usually on sports in schools, and it's really nice to have something for all of us to unite as artists and feel like we belong somewhere and that we're supported,” Martin said.
