Adelaide Hammond named Art Student of the Month for March 2026


The Art Student of the Month for March 2026 is Adelaide Hammond! Adelaide is in seventh grade and was chosen as Student of the Month by Mrs. Zorn because of her positive attitude and her willingness to challenge herself creatively in the classroom. Adelaide practices her art-making skills both in and outside of the classroom, and she has grown tremendously as an artist. Below is an interview with Adelaide.

Q. How does it feel to be Art Student of the Month?

A. It is an honor to be selected as “Art Student of the Month.” I would have never guessed that I was going to be chosen.

Q. What are your favorite art-making materials to work with?

A. I enjoy sketching in pencil.

Q. Do you have any artworks that you are particularly proud of, and why are you proud of them?

A. I’m proud of my stained-glass window because it was very difficult to cut out all of the mini windows. I am also proud of my symmetrical pencil portrait drawing because I thought it would turn out horribly (it did not).

Q. Do you plan on taking more art classes when you are in high school?

A. I plan on taking more art classes when I’m in high school. I’d like to take a realistic drawing class.

Q. Do you have any advice for your classmates about the art-making process?

A. My advice is to just try until you get it right or get it the way you like it.
