Kitsap award-winning art students rise to meet challenges during COVID-19
For Allison McMartin, the struggle was real.
Sick of the COVID-19 pandemic, sick of being stuck inside her house while others ignored rules about social gatherings, the 11th-grade student at Bremerton High School allowed her emotions to stir.
That's how McMartin's original piece of art "From the Inside Looking Out" came into existence. She used colored pencils and watercolor paint to tell her story: a blonde-haired girl, sitting on the floor with her arms wrapped around her knees, the walls and roof of her scaled-down home bearing down on her.
