Congratulations, Dr. Williams!!!
Our talented art students competed in the "Conjuring the Chaos" card game art competition. This competition was a movement to reconnect people, revitalize in-person gatherings, and give local high school art students the opportunity of a lifetime: to have their original artwork permanently featured in a commercially produced game.
We're thrilled to report that we came out on top once again!
Qe'asia Arnold 's illustrations inspired by the world of “Conjure the Chaos" were selected and will receive a copy of her work printed on playable cards complete with artist credit, introducing the first official piece of published art to the world from the company. We are so proud of her! Our art students are once again putting our school on the map!
Senior: Qe'asia Arnold - "Winner" ($250) a copy of her art on a card + the spot on the website gallery
