Wayland Student Press Network 4/1/13:  Hunt’s “Ashen” wins national art award. One day last summer, sophomore Jameson Hunt sat with his cousins smearing ash on their faces. Rubbing on moustaches and goatees, the group’s intent was purely to pass the time. Little did Hunt know that this experience with ash facial hair would serve as the inspiration for a photograph that would win a prestigious national art award. On Friday March 15, Hunt was awarded a Scholastic Art and Writing Gold Medal Award for his photograph “Ashen.” This national recognition came less than two months after Hunt won a statewide award, the Scholastic Gold Key Award, on January 25. Hunt, an art student at WHS, was one of six WHS students to win the Scholastic Gold Key Award in art and the only Wayland student to win a Gold Medal Award.
