The second-quarter winners of the Junior Mary Campbell Easel Award and the Mary Campbell Easel Award are Sadie Gill '28 and Weston Howard '25.
Gill has been a student at BGA for three years, and her winning piece is a painting entitled "The Glen Echo Building." She completed this piece using watercolor and ink, and the work is a creative visual exploration of buildings on BGA's campus.
Howard has been a student at BGA for four years, and his winning piece is a sculpture that functions as a lidded container entitled "Puddle Paint." He completed this piece using techniques in digital art, painting, and ceramics.
Both the Junior Mary Campbell Easel Award and Mary Campbell Easel Award were established to honor Mary Campbell's memory and her love of art. Each quarter, BGA art teachers review the work of current art students and choose a piece felt to exemplify the qualities BGA students strive to achieve: creativity, effort, and quality. The Junior award is displayed on an easel in the upper hallway of the Mary Campbell Visual Arts Center for the entire next quarter. The standard award for the Upper School is displayed on an easel in the front hallway of the Mary Campbell Visual Art Center for the entire next quarter.
