A mixed-media artwork by Copeland Manor fifth-grader Olivia “Liv” Bertaud won the first place award in the Illinois Arts Education Poster Contest in downstate Springfield. Bertaud’s artwork that features dance, drama, music and visual art and was turned into a poster was is being displayed throughout the state in all public and private schools during Illinois Arts Education Week. Ten-year-old Liv had this to say about her artwork, “I think the theme “Art is Everywhere” is important. It helps people realize that art is tucked into the little corners of life. It’s not just in museums and theaters. It is essential to remember these things because without art, music, drama or dance so many people would be caught in a void or left without the love of creativity. I feel it is essential for me and for everyone really to remember that art really is everywhere and that we have to be thankful for that.”
