Ten Island high school students have been awarded top prizes in the Boston Globe’s 2012 Scholastic Art Awards for work ranging from a ceramic pot with a snake on it to a photo of bare feet in the rain.

The winning works, including ceramics, glass, drawings and photography, were selected from 14,000 entries, with less than 5 per cent winning the top honor, a Gold Key. Nine Martha’s Vineyard Regional High School students won Gold Keys, as did one Martha’s Vineyard Public Charter School student.

Seven high school students won Silver Keys, and 15 students won an Honorable Mention. Less than a quarter of entries won an award of any kind, according to high school photo/graphics teacher Chris Baer.

The Gold Key–winning works of regional high school students Sadie Dix, Lauren Dostal, Skylah Forend, Leah Fortes, Fionnuala Howell, Ella Mahoney, Hannah Moore, Charlotte Potter and Truda Silberstein, as well as Charter School student Eli Dagostino, will be entered in the national Scholastic Art competition in New York city this spring.

Gold and Silver Key winners will have their work displayed in a Boston gallery. Works of art that won honorable mentions will be on display at the school.

“It’s a really good showing,” said art teacher Brendan Coogan, who is in his first year at the high school. He said Chantal Booker’s Silver Key winning work of fused/stained glass came from experimenting in the classroom.

Artwork from the visual arts classes is abundant around the high school, which Mr. Coogan said helps attract new students to the program. There is also “a lot of support and interest from the rest of the school” for the program, said Mr. Coogan.
