Madie Skiver's art accepted in Ft. Wayne Scholastic Art Show
Madie Skiver, an Ada High School senior, had two pieces of art accepted in the Scholastic Art Show in Ft. Wayne, Ind. Her artwork will be displayed at the Ft. Wayne Museum of Art from Feb.12-April 9.
One of her pieces of art, titled "Nevermore," shows a black raven. Madie came up with the idea from her favorite poem, Edgar Allen Poe's "Nevermore." The print received an honorable mention award.
To make the lineo print, she took a cutting tool to a piece of rubber, then applied ink to the rubber, and transferred the image to paper.
She enjoyed doing the still life tempera painting because it allowed her to manipulate different shades of color. Her print was awarded a Silver Key award.
Madie plans to enroll in the ONU nursing program this fall. She is the daughter of Jen and Dave Zimmerly.
