U.S. Congressman Paul Broun Congratulates Amy Michel
U.S. Congressman Paul Broun recently announced Athens Academy graduate Amy Michel as the 10th Congressional District winner in the 2008 Congressional Art Competition, An Artistic Discovery. Congressman Broun visited the Athens Academy campus on Tuesday, May 27, to congratulate Ms. Michel.
Each spring, a nation-wide high school arts competition is sponsored by the Members of the U.S. House of Representatives. This year Congressman Broun selected Ms. Michel’s charcoal and pastel sketch Dandelion. Ms. Michel is invited to attend a reception in June in Washington, D.C., and her artwork will hang in the U.S. Capitol for an entire year.
After traveling in Europe this fall, Ms. Michel plans to study art at the University of Georgia.
