The Johnson-Humrickhouse Museum is excited to announce the high school A Playground of Talent winners. Staff also wants to thank the local art teachers Carissa Dickerson and Robin Hire (Ridgewood Local Schools), John Miller, Michelle Woodie, and Jennifer Young (Coshocton City Schools), and Rodney Stein, Sarah Fornara, and Anne Cornell (River View Local Schools) for helping make this year’s show possible. A special thank you goes out to Yan Sun and Hong Yin for graciously donating the cash prizes awarded to the high school artist winners.

They are then scored on composition, technique, and originality within those categories. The piece that scores the best overall, despite the category, is awarded best of show. The winners are as follows: Best of Show – Sophia McFadden – Sweet 16; 2-Dimensional Winners – Composition First Rowan Hart – Untitled, second Veronica Moore – Fredbear’s Founder; Technique First Taylor Brown – Kitty, second Jamie Murray – Birds; Originality First Samantha Dickerson – Cotton Candy Dreams, second Anna Jansen – Coon Cafe; 3-Dimensional Winners – Composition First Joni Winland – Mama and Baby Turtle, second Madison Hagans – Cherry Pie; Technique First Brooke Collinsworth – Phalanx, second Taylor Brown – Hieroglyph; Originality First Kaytee Rice – Octopus, second Samantha Dickerson – Disney Originals; and Black and White – Composition First Lexsey Newell – Untitled, second Payton Hemming – Down the Road; Technique First Paris Peterson – Rest in Peace Jellie, second Jaylene Brown – Untitled; and Originality First Sophia McFadden – Pretty in Pink, second Caylie Allen – Untitled.
