One of BHS’s students, sophomore Savannah David, was selected into the Ohio House of Representatives Student Art Exhibit for her photography.
The Ohio House of Representatives Student Art Exhibit is a gallery that is geared towards students in Ohio to encourage creativity and talent. All 99 districts in Ohio are represented, and each piece of art selected will be held on display for one entire year at the House of Representatives.
This year, art teacher Mr. Chris Kaspar chose four different photos that he believed would be good candidates for the contest. He then went to two different teachers (one art teacher and the other was a random teacher) to seek their opinion on which photo should be sent in.
Both of the teachers voted on David’s photo to be sent into the contest. The photo was then sent to the Ohio House of Representatives and was later confirmed that her work was selected for one of the exhibits.
When asked how she created her photo, David responded, “I created this picture by having all of the lights off in the auditorium and my friend sitting on the overview stage with another friend standing over her with a flashlight. There was a small crack in the door, which was the slight line of light leading up towards her feet.”
David titled her photo “Before the Light” because of the light that leads up to her friend’s feet that seems like a heavenly light leading her out of the darkness that is surrounding her. The name just seemed to fit her photo perfectly.
With a lot of hard work and multiple tries to perfect her photo, the recognition that David received is well-deserved.
Congratulations, Savannah!
