The annual Youth Art Month (YAM) exhibition will be held again at the Bakersfield Art Association for the month of May.
The show is Sponsored by the California Art Education Association which recognizes the accomplishments of art education in schools K-12.
Youth Art Month has a long history beginning in 1961 when the Art & Creative Materials Institute (ACMI) created Children’s Art Month as an event to emphasize the value to children from participating in visual art education. In 1969 the celebration expanded to include secondary school students. The Children’s Art Month event officially became known as Youth Art Month.
This year the local exhibition will feature student artwork from area high schools.
Students receiving awards from the local show will advance to state judging and state winners will be recognized at the annual conference for the National Art Education Association.
LISA MAYO is the coordinating teacher for this high school art project in partnership with the Bakersfield Art Center.
Lisa is an art teacher at Highland high school as well as the department chair. Art Teacher/VAPA Department Chair Highland High School

Ruby Bell Roby- 12th grade
Mosaic Art – Guppy Fish
This artwork was inspired by my love for fish and the sea with its different sea creatures and colorful life
Makenna Wilder- 9th grade
Two-point perspective – A Japanese City
This artwork was inspired by Japanese cities and pictures about Japanese cities. This drawing was for an assignment to create a corner lot of a city.
Noah Brummett- 12th grade
Nonrepresentational art/abstract – The Oculus
This artwork is nonrepresentation abstract. Colors are used to portray emotions and lines are used to express those emotion. This was my first time creating an abstract artwork.
Lucian Summers 12th grade
One point Perspective - City Escape
Statement: This art piece was inspired from a photograph that was part of the choices for this assignment. What makes this artwork unique, is the use of lines to add value. I often sketch with pen, and I see the similar quality of lines used in the artwork because of the vertical hatching.
