MITIS Pupil Bags Award in National Art Contest—MIT International School (MITIS) Grade 2 student, Pia Jamei Camacho, recently won first runner up honors in Category B of the 3rd National Art Competition sponsored by Global Art Philippines on September 18, 2011 at Glorietta 4, Makati City. Global Art Philippines introduced the Globalart Creative Learning methodology in 1999 and is now the largest chain of art centers in Southeast Asia serving ten countries and over 100,000 students worldwide.
With the theme, “My World, My Future”, the art competition aimed to promote creativity skills of children as well as to exhibit the works of students enrolled in the system. More than a hundred Global Art and Non-Global Art students in the Philippines participated in the competition and only the best artworks were chosen among the categories A (for children 4 to 6 years old), B (for 7 to 9 y.o.), C (for 10-12 y.o.) and D (for 13-15 y.o.).
Pia, together with her Art teacher and trainor Mr. Lyle Mampolino, received a trophy from Global Art Founder Mr. Mahair Goh during the contest awarding held on the same day. Also on hand to witness Pia’s successful participation was her proud mother, Mrs. Josephine Camacho, who is the MITIS Finance Officer.
Another MITIS student, Monica Felizardo, also performed well in Category D of the competition but failed to garner an award.
MITIS gives strong emphasis to Mathematics, Science, and English and a special place to the lively appreciation of the arts.
