Student artwork from grades K-12 is displayed at the Professional Development Academy once a year in the late spring. Teachers select the student art on display from many different visual art mediums - watercolor, pastels, ink art, photography, wood, metals and fabric.
The exhibit is open to the public.
This year the ArtWorks Team led by Audra Ross, EHS Photography teacher, opened up a contest to the students of PYLUSD to design and submit a 2024 ArtWorks poster. Sophie Zhai of Yorba Linda Middle School had her entry selected.
Sophie Zhai has been creating art since age 4. She is passionate about art and design, and also enjoys creative writing. In addition to her advanced skill levels in art, Sophie is top of her class academically as an 8th grade student at Yorba Linda Middle School. When asked about her artwork Sophie said, “I enjoy expressing myself and feelings through my artwork, it is a meditative practice and creative outlet for me.” Some of her favorite mediums to work with are: oil paints, acrylics, alcohol markers, and ink. Her Art Teacher, Mrs. Tangney, describes Sophie, as ”a naturally gifted artist who will continue to surprise everyone with her talent for years to come.
