Congratulations to WWMS Art Students!
A representative of Wills Memorial Hospital selected artworks to be on display at the hospital. The Architecture of Washington was the subject of these drawings/paintings. Students gathered photographs and sketches for their artworks on a recent walking field trip through Washington. The three artworks chosen were by Mylan Mahoney, Kareema Wingfield, and Noemi Ramirez.
