Congratulations to WWMS Art Student
Demarco Norman!




DeMarco Norman, 8th grade student at WWMS, had his work displayed at the Big Screen Plaza event in New York City.  This event coincided with the 2012 National Art Education Association Convention and featured young artists from all over the country.  In his artist statement, Demarco said, "This is a line drawing of Michael Jackson. I like the fact that even though it is simple, it captures the unique look of this famous face. "
