March is Youth Art Month! Youth Art Month is celebrated nationally each March. Youth Art Month (YAM) is a national celebration held each year during March that emphasizes the value of art education for all children and encourages support for quality art programs in schools. Arts education embodies critical, analytical, and conceptual thinking and allows for exploration of varied cultures, concepts and perspectives to prepare students to be better global citizens.
Mansfield High School is proud to announce that it will recognize Youth Art Month with a display of student work at Mansfield Public Library from March 5-31, 2025. The artwork created by students from grades 9-12, are enrolled in Art 1, Art 2, Advanced Studio Painting and Drawing, AP 2D Art, Portfolio Preparation, Watercolor and Beyond, Art of Mindfulness and Digital Media. The works were selected by art teachers Jennifer Martinelli, Kerry McIntyre and Andrew Cefalu with help from the district visual arts coordinator Derek Harding.
