newlenoxpatriotdaily.com life & Arts the new lenox patriot | February 13, 2020 | 17 Lincoln-Way students receive recognition at art competition T.J. Kremer III Contributing Editor If there was any question about the abundance of artistic talent students at Lincoln-Way Community High School District 210 possess, then those questions were put to bed when students from all three of the district’s schools took home 34 awards for their outstanding artwork at the The Scholastic Art Show the week of Jan. 27. Thirteen of those awards were given Gold Key Awards, 13 Silver Awards, and eight Honorable Mention Awards. Gold Key Award winners’ work will advance to New York to compete at the national level. Locally, more than 40 area schools submitted 2,188 works of art with only 638 pieces awarded and accepted into the show, according to a press release from the district. One Gold Key Award recipient was Jenna Davis, a New Lenox resident and sophomore at Lincoln- Way West, who said she started painting pretty much right after birth, and attributed her skills and success to her grandfather Joe Rohaly. faith From Page 16 Peace Lutheran Church (1900 E. Lincoln Highway, New Lenox) Church Services 5 p.m. Saturdays; 8:30 a.m. and 11 a.m. Sundays. Adult Class 9:55 a.m. Sundays. The adult She also described how, for her, art is a way to express her feelings. “Normally when I get stressed or there’s a lot going on in my life, I literally will pick up a canvas or a piece of paper and just start drawing or writing,” Davis said. “And I was really stressed one day over school, and family things and just life in general, so I picked up a canvas and started drawing how I felt. And, at that time — the title of the painting is ‘When it All Falls Down’ — I felt like my life was falling down in a way. “I know that sounds very dark, but my way of getting my feelings out and expressing how I’m feeling is through art, and that day I decided I’m going to paint my feelings out. After painting that painting, I felt really relieved. Art is like my therapy: It helps me a lot.” Davis said although her artwork is very personal to her, she is happy if her work can connect with others. Melanie Piunti, a New Lenox resident who is a junior at Lincoln-Way Central, took home her Gold Key Award for a colored pencil drawing she did class usually meets in the back of the sanctuary to discuss a different topic each week.

The hands in the picture are those of herself; her mother, Karen; and her grandmother Shirley Lundin. Piunti said as part of her art class, students have to build a portfolio with a theme, and she chose to use a theme of telling a story through hands. “I wanted to show the three generations of women in my family with all of our hands,” Piunti said. Also taking home a Gold Key Award was Angela Farkic, a Mokena resident and senior at Lincoln-Way East. Her colored pencil drawing that won the award was a class project from last year where the objective was to draw someone eating food or drinking something. For this project, Farkic chose to draw her sister Tijana blowing bubble gum. “It was one of my favorite projects I ever made,” Farkic said. “It makes me really happy because it’s been in a lot of art shows and it’s cool seeing it around.” Farkic said she may not pursue art as a career; however, she said she would like to study medicine in Angela Farkic, a Mokena resident and senior at Lincoln- Way East, poses with her Gold Key Award colored pencil drawing of her sister Tijana blowing bubble gum.

Poetry Corner Mother Needs Help – Husband Need Not Apply Marcia Horan New Lenox resident If the floors are in need of a wax and a cleaning Relying on my husband takes a whole nother meaning. To scrub them he’d rarely get down on his knees. Only to propose did he do homage to please The family bathroom looks an ultimate mess. The toilet shows the boys missed their targets I guess. The curve of contention is the ring in the tub. He’d reject the contortion to reach in and scrub. The kids’ lunches he says are easy to fix. When PB & jelly is all he can mix. He helped with the laundry, washing darks with the white. The finished result was so ghastly a sight. When red clothes fade, they turn white clothes pink, An awful surprise for my husband, I think. And his “lucky” shirt that he wears cause its loose. He’s shrunken to size for our cute front porch goose. His socks with the holes don’t get thrown away. Air conditioning for feet, his opinion won’t sway. To dust is no use when tomorrow its back. Besides there’s a ball game. It’s okay to slack. What can I do when I know there’s no cure? My only concession is my job is secure. If you’d like to submit a poem to poetry corner, email Editor Sean Hastings, sean@ newlenoxpatriot.com.
