Four students from William Floyd High School have been recognized for their artistic talents at the Suffolk County Art Leaders Association (SCALA) All-County and Senior Scholarship Show. Their artwork is currently on display at Babylon Town Hall, showcasing their creativity alongside other young artists from Suffolk County.
Theresa Bianco, Fine Arts Chairperson, expressed pride in the students’ achievements: “This show is a calmative event housing some of Long Island’s best young artists and giving them a beautiful space to exhibit their work,” she said. “I am very proud that our students’ work was selected for this show.”
The honored students include senior Mike Amodeo, who created a pastel piece featuring a hooded owl with cards spread before it, highlighting perspective and detail. Senior Skylinn Velez designed a pastel artwork depicting a young boy in a dark room with light symbolizing hope amidst despair and mental illness.
Junior Isabella Humberstone illustrated graduates slaying a dragon using pen and ink to convey the challenges of graduation surrounded by future opportunities. Senior Catie Corry, also awarded as a SCALA scholarship artist, presented three pieces including still-life pastels and personal works inspired by her AP Art Exam’s “Investigation” component.
These accomplishments mark significant recognition for the William Floyd High School art program.
