Submitted Artwork
These pieces were submitted as part of St. Leo’s Catholic School’s submission to the National Arts Educators Association project “New Orleans: Cool Cat Jazz” category at (artsonia.com). These pieces are just three examples of the many pieces by Minot students and teachers on display at (artsonia.com). The site is organized by states and schools so Minot student artwork is relatively easy to navigate to through the homepage at the site.
Artwork created by students at St. Leo’s Catholic School, Minot, and students of the Minot Area Council of the Arts was showcased in a nationwide New Orleans Culture Exhibit.
Lisa Lathrop, an art teacher in Minot, responded to a call for artwork from Artsonia, the online art museum where the school and community artwork is displayed, asking teachers to instruct a lesson on the city of New Orleans and then submit their student artwork to a new exhibit titled “New Orleans: Feast for the Eyes.” St. Leo’s students submitted their work under the heading “New Orleans: Cool Cat Jazz.”
The artwork was first unveiled in New Orleans at the National Art Education Association Convention. This year’s “New Orleans: Feast for the Eyes” exhibit sets a new record, becoming the largest collection of student artwork dedicated to the city of New Orleans.
