Southern Hills Career and Technical Center Graphics students competed at the SkillsUSA State Championships in Columbus.

A team of three seniors, Amanda Garver, Kyle Bowman and Erica Dabbs won the Bronze Medal for their Career Pathways Showcase in the Arts. One junior, Hannah Henning competed in the Advertising Design Contest.

The Advertising Design Contest challenged the student to create an original logo, an advertising flyer and a banner within a 4-hour time period.

In the Career Pathways in Arts contest, the student team used their course of study as the basis for a project that benefitted their school. The project highlighted their design, illustration, photography, video, print and oral presentation skills as well as their academic skills in science, math, history and English.

This year’s Graphics team developed a display about Southern Hills Career Center’s new Culinary Arts program coming in the fall of 2014. They were judged on the mastery of their training, its application, the benefit to the community, and their display and presentation techniques.

Their Southern Hills instructor, Amy Cunningham, says, “These wonderful students work hard all year long learning to create things, from logos to video effects, illustrations to vehicle wraps, and more. They have to apply all of their current academic knowledge plus the new hands-on skills they are learning in order to compete in their career fields. We are all happy for their accomplishments at the SkillsUSA State Championships.”

Looking to the future, Erica Dabbs will be attending Shawnee University for Digital Visual Design. Amanda Garver will be attending Maysville Community College with the goal of becoming an Illustrator. Kyle Bowman plans to attend Shawnee State University to study Game Design. Hannah Henning is on track to complete her second year of Graphics at Southern Hills.
