Artistic talents hit snow plows
Maria Ismael

Art club members were given the chance to expand their artistic talents this fall when the school gave them the opportunity to paint city snow plows.
The art club has been around for five years, and now consists of eleven members. Mr. Cardamon and Mrs. Michel, both teachers in the art department, are in charge of the organization.
The theme for the project was "Your School", and students were free to use the school colors and mascot.
All nine designs that the group were submitted to the city were accepted, but due to limited time, members were only able to finish decorating three snow plows. Tara Doland and Maurice Johnson are credited for creating the designs.
"We put alot of time and effort into it," said senior Jason Parks. And it was all worth it once everything was finished."
The submitted designs required the color selection so that the city could provide the students with paint.
The snow plows were droped off in the second week of October, and were picked up on the 29th, just in time to be put on display at the Open House at the City Street Department on November 1.
Challenge
"It was a difficult challenge for the students," stated Mr. Cardamon. "But in the end, it turned out really well."
