Cleveland Clinic eXpressions
Six Kenston High School art students were recognized for their submission to the Cleveland Clinic eXpressions program. Anya Parsons’ “Unfortunately, Honorable” and Grace Geisler’s “At the Core” received blue ribbons. Red ribbons were awarded to Margaret Eibler for her “Liver Let Die” and Kira Weber for “The Anxious Heart.”
Kennan Garceau was recognized for “Scarred” with a white ribbon. Honorable mention was awarded to Grace Spehn for her piece “Next Addicted Generation.” The students worked with art teachers Todd Malkus and Andie Quinn in Art IV and III classes.
The Cleveland Clinic eXpressions program is an award-winning educational initiative that engages middle and high school students in the creative exploration of science and medicine. Through project-based, peer-to-peer learning, students translate research studies conducted by Cleveland Clinic summer interns, producing artistic, literary and mathematical interpretations of the science.
This year’s theme and research addressed five important community health topics: heart disease, obesity, infant mortality, opioids/pain management and diabetes. Students analyzed the research on these topics and interpreted it through their artistic expression.
