L-R: James Perry, Dylan Bruce and Eric Sinko, all won for Best Stop Animation.

April 13, 2010 - In late March, the Art Department at Shaker High School submitted 20 pieces of student artwork for consideration at the annual Capital Region Media Art Festival. A panel of judges reviewed the submissions and determined the award winners. Five students’ works of art were recognized, including:

Nicole McElroy, Grade 12, Graphic Design, Honorable Mention
Bashir Chedrawee, Grade 12, Best Narrative Film & Best Sound
Eric Sinko, Grade 12 and Dylan Bunce, Grade 11, James Perry Grade 12, Best Stop Animation

Many area schools participate in this exhibit, and this year North Colonie submitted strong digital artwork to the festival.

“It is quite an honor to be included in this annual exhibit and receive an award,” Art Department Supervisor, Anne Manzella said. “Our students should be proud of their achievement.”

The closing and award ceremony will be held on Thursday, April 29 at 6:30 p.m. at Niskayuna High School.
