Cedar Hills Elementary Student Wins Art Contest

OAK CREEK, WI -- Oak Creek Cedar Hills Elementary student Briella Honeck is a proud winner of Artsonia’s Artist of the Week contest, a voting competition held on Artsonia.com, which exhibits more than 65 million pieces of student art.

Honeck received more than 1,500 online votes for her winning art, part of a project where students were encouraged to draw snow people. “I like watching my teacher show me what we are going to make and then making it,” Honeck said.

Her teacher, Sabrina Weiland, has been teaching art for 11 years now. “I am so thrilled to have my students recognized for their art achievements,” Weiland said. “Each one works so hard, and having the opportunity to not only publish their work on Artsonia to share with their families but also be recognized by the public is truly fantastic.”

Artsonia developed Artist of the Week ten years ago as a way to encourage teachers to submit student artwork and engage the school and community to vote on and recognize students for their achievements.

Every week, Artsonia selects 12 random submissions in each of four different age groups (PreK-3, 4-6, 7-9, 10-12) from artwork submitted the previous week. Voting is then open to the public for several days before the winner is announced.

Blick Art Materials donated a $100 gift certificate to Cedar Hills Elementary and an individual $50 gift certificate to Honeck.
