4 JESUIT PERSPECTIVES • SPRING 2018
Jesuit High School was chock-full of
extraordinary artistic talent - and
fabulous food - on Sunday afternoon
April 22 at the annual Celebration of the
Arts and A Taste of Jesuit. Jesuit's visual
artists, under the direction of Kevin Ball
'03, once again created an amazing
showcase throughout the Multi-Purpose
Room for the Juried Art Show. The two
highest honors were awarded to seniors
in Jesuit's exceptional AP Art program:
Ethan Dieck '18 earned Best in Show, and
Diego Perez-Aracena '18 was recognized
for Best AP Portfolio, with Dieck placing
2nd and Nick Vastano '18 3rd.
Dieck, whose AP Portfolio theme was
psychological disorders, won Best
utility fabric painting titled "A.D.D."
Perez-Aracena's AP Portfolio theme
was stigmatized human abnormalities,
and Vastano's theme was rusted and
decaying items.
There were 10 categories each with
1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners, in
addition to Best in Show. Among the
other category winners were Robbie
Shaffer '19 in two disciplines, Charcoal
Studies and Scratchboard, Paul Schnell
'19 in Low Key High Contrast, Rodrigo
Garcia-Gil '19 in Mixed Media, Tyler Petitt
'19 in Pen & Ink, and Loki Fountain '19 in
Acrylic Painting.
The judges for the show were renowned
artist Dr. Jose Rodeiro '67, Debra
Malschick of the Savannah College of
Art and Design, and local artist Adam
Woodard '13, a former AP Studio Art
student at Jesuit.
