AWARD-WINNING 3-D ART— Graves County High School sophomore Micah Huff recently won "Best of Show in 3-D Art" at the Regional High School Art Show sponsored by the Kentucky Art Education Association.

His “Metal Renaissance Lute” is shown here, as displayed in the Curris Center at Murray State University. The piece was made from nickel, brass and copper and took the entire semester to complete.

 “He worked diligently inside and outside of class and never slowed down,” said his teacher, Jack Goodwin. “His perseverance was remarkable. There were many times where others would have abandoned the project but Micah never considered that as an option. He is a great young man with the skills of a studied metal smith twice his age.”
