ORANGE PARK \u2013\u00a0A Grove Park Elementary\u00a0student\u2019s\u00a0artwork called \u201cWhere Ideas Go to Play,\u201d earned a blue ribbon\u00a0at\u00a0the Boys\/Girls Clubs of Northeast Florida\u2019s\u00a0Second Annual Art Gala\u00a0Contest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jemima Joseph used markers, pen,\u00a0pencil\u00a0and white paper to create a colorful\u00a0piece that \u201ccaptures how ideas move when there are no rules telling them where to stop.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jemima said she \u201cused color, shape and space to show imagination in motion, not staying in one place and not needing to make sense right away. Some parts are bold and some are quiet, because that is how thinking feels in my head. I want people to look at it and feel curious, like they are discussing something new each time they look.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her artwork was one of 80 submitted from Boys\/Girls Club\u00a0members from\u00a0Clay, St. Johns, Alachua, Duval and\u00a0Nassau counties. Her selection was one of 20 picked for its creativity, perspective and artistic skill.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A selection of the blue ribbon winners will be submitted to the National Arts Gala Contest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her work was\u00a0displayed gallery style throughout the Teen Center,\u00a0313 E. 10th\u00a0St., in Jacksonville, which allowed\u00a0families, staff\u00a0and guests to\u00a0experience the talent and imagination of the young artists.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to BGCNF, the event highlighted\u00a0the important role of arts programming in youth development, giving\u00a0members opportunities to explore creativity, build confidence and express their unique voices.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ORANGE PARK \u2013\u00a0A Grove Park Elementary\u00a0student\u2019s\u00a0artwork called \u201cWhere Ideas Go to Play,\u201d earned a blue ribbon\u00a0at\u00a0the Boys\/Girls Clubs…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":216131,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[3496,3487,3495,3498,3488,3493,116,118,117,3492,3494,3499,3490,3489,3497,3491],"class_list":["post-216443","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-argyle","tag-clay-county","tag-doctors-inlet","tag-eagle-harbor","tag-fleming-island","tag-green-cove-springs","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-headlines","tag-jacksonville-news","tag-keystone-heights","tag-lake-asbury","tag-margaret","tag-middleburg","tag-orange-park","tag-pace-island","tag-penney-farms"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216443","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=216443"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216443\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/216131"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=216443"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=216443"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=216443"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
