Senior Brian Pfister Clinches First in NIU Art Show

Northern Illinois University hosts a High School Invitational Exhibition each year.  High school students from all over the northern Illinois region submit pieces in hopes of having their art recognized by prestigious judges.  Each high school art teacher is allowed to submit two works.  This year’s exhibition took place from October 18 to November 9.  Oak Lawn Community High School senior Brian Pfister won first place this year; his work was honored over 200 other pieces.  The title of the piece is Boundless.  Brian said, “I chose the piece because it best represents my style as an artist and I chose the title because I feel through art, possibilities are boundless.”
