Morgan Schoch, a student at Worcester Preparatory School, was named the national sixth grade winner of the 2016 U.S. Constitution Day Poster Design Contest. Her poster was selected from thousands of submissions from around the world.
The annual Constitution Day Poster Design Contest is an international competition which invites K-12 grade entrants to celebrate Constitution Day (Sept. 17) by designing a poster showing how they benefited from freedoms embodied in the U.S. Constitution. The poster can feature any aspect of the Constitution, including the Bill of Rights and Amendments.
To create the unique look for her poster, Schoch used the technique of Ben-Day dots, which was the hallmark technique of American Pop Artist Roy Lichtenstein. Her poster portrayed a gavel representing the court system, the handwritten words from the Preamble of the Constitution and the United States flag. The 10-year-old’s winning poster can be seen online at www.constitutionfacts.com/constitution-poster-design-contest/.
The Constitution Day Posters were judged 33 percent based upon content relevant to the Constitution and 66 percent for artistic design. Schoch received a Constitution commemorative coin to celebrate winning the sixth grade national prize.
Schoch will be helping to promote Youth Art Month during Berlin’s 2nd Friday Art Stroll on March 10, where from 4-7 p.m. she will be painting “live” at the Art in the Fields Gallery, located at 6 South Main Street.
