Current photography students were given a great opportunity to express their creativity and share their artwork. Approximately 200 students from 24 schools and from here at East had their pictures chosen to be presented at the 30th Annual Storrs All High Photo Show at the Kenan Center.
The students that had pictures on exhibition from East were Brianna Bucello, Arianna Barreca, Shaylynn Skorka, Hannah Christian, Caroline Schnabel, Natalie Marinides, Kaitlin Milks, Kiera Lecavalier, Jenna Staples, and Stephanie Wetzel.
Only 17 awards were given out for several different categories such as best black and white picture, best color picture, best still life, best portrait, best architectural picture, etcetera. Also, one student from each of the schools involved received an award aside from the other categories. The picture “Greenwood, NY” taken by Sophomore Kaitlin Milks won the award. Talented students from other schools received awards for the other categories.
Although no other awards were given out, Shaylynn Skorka’s picture “The Beauty in Bones,” is shown on the Kenan Center’s website and was used to advertise the photo show. The picture itself is a symmetrical shot of rose petals leading up a girl’s back.
The Kenan Center belonged to Mr. and Mrs. William Rand Kenan Jr. It consists of several buildings including the Kenan House, Taylor Theater, Education Building, Kenan Arena, and Kenan Gardens. Each of these facilities serves a different purpose. The programs involved include art, education, and recreation programming. The All High Photo Show is just one of the events that occurs annually.
