Susky Art Students Getting Accolades

Susquehanna Community Jr./Sr. High School’s Visual Art Department has some recent news for this school year. In the past few years, students have gone on to schools such as Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, the Art Institute of Pittsburgh and Mansfield to major in various studies of art. Congratulations go to Kyla Kemmerer, a senior at Susquehanna, who was recently accepted at the School of Visual Arts (SVA) in NYC to major in Illustration.

Kyla is the daughter of Kyle Kemmerer and Ann Stewart of Susquehanna. SVA is one of the leading art schools in the nation, hosting instructors such as legendary Marshall Arisman, Steven Heller, Paula Scher, James Jean and Milton Glasier. Famous alumni range from Pop artists Andy Warhol, Keith Haring to Bryan Singer (director of Xmen, prior to transfer), Steve Ditko (creator of Spiderman) to John R. Dilworth (creator of Courage the Cowardly Dog) and illustrators James Jean and Yuko Shimizu.

Kyla has also applied to Pratt Institute in Brooklyn and is awaiting confirmation from the school before making final decisions. She was recently Artist of the Month with the Scranton Tribune this past October. WVIA’s Artist of the Week will also be featuring Kyla this spring in concession with the talented Ashlee Getter on the piano in her own feature.

As Kyla’s acceptance letter from SVA reads, “based on your academic and creative performances,” proves how Susquehanna produces well rounded, talented students who can achieve and go for their dreams, equipped and prepared.

Charcoal Study by Alex Price.

Upcoming Junior at Susquehanna Community Alex Price, son of Anita and Dennis Price, has also been accepted at the regional Scholastics competition at Marywood University. This marks a new event for Susquehanna, as Alex is the first male student in the last five years to have gained acceptance. Alex is hoping to pursue a career in Automotive Design or Industrial Design. He recently traveled to Philadelphia to present his portfolio with several seniors at National Portfolio Day and is building his portfolio for next year in preparation. Alex is also heavily involved with Yearbook.

Kyla, Ashlee and Alex are students of Ms. Grabowski. “I have such pride for what these students have accomplished. Their hard work is evident and their attitude is amazing. They will find a great success in the arts.”
