Tomball students show their talent with art and won awards at the 2021 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

Students Sarai Soto, Sean Green, Sophia DeMan, and Mia Holberg were 4 students that won awards for their art pieces.

Sarai Soto won the Best of the Show for 3-Dimensional Art. She made a sculpture of a Longhorn skull.

“It felt surprising because I wasn’t expecting it to win,” said Sarai Soto.

Sean Green won a Gold Medal for a Monochromatic Drawing. His art was a drawing of a person wearing heavy gloves making horseshoes.

Sophia DeMan won Special Merit for a Monochromatic Drawing. Her drawing was of a cow in a field next to a tree and some shrubs with it’s tongue sticking out giving the image a whimsical and wholesome feeling.

“I was a bit shocked, I knew it had moved on but I didn’t know it was selected out of four. It is kind of my first drawing of that sort,” said Sophia DeMan.

Mia Holberg won Special Merit for her Painting.

This is a major accomplishment for all the winning students, especially in the wake of COVID-19.
