Emily Grant, 16-Year-Old at Calvary Murrieta Christian School, Wins Award for Art Project Remembering Her Late Grandfather

I love this.

At the Riverside Press-Enterprise, "MURRIETA: Student’s winning photos tell of late grandfather’s life."

I especially love how Ms. Emily reveres her grandfather's patriotism and values:
A dozen photos representing a dozen memories.

Emily Grant tells the story of her late grandfather’s life in 12 snapshots.

Her piece, “Valor,” won The Press-Enterprise Sponsorship Award at the 52nd Annual Press-Enterprise Riverside County High School Art Show last month.

“My grandfather is a huge inspiration to me and the legacy he passed down will last forever,” said the 16-year-old junior at Calvary Murrieta Christian School.

Emily got the idea for the display when she and her photography teacher visited the Los Angeles County Museum of Art last year to see a photo exhibit.

“It was great to see how inspired she was,” said April Estoch, photo teacher and fine arts director at Calvary Murrieta. “She took an idea she saw somewhere else and made it her own. It tells a story that’s very personal to her.”

Emily was able to use the photos for an assignment in her photography class. She got an “A.”
More.

Kids like Ms. Emily reflect the power of our culture's private, religious sphere over the state-worshipping culture of the political left. I mean, an artistic photo display of her grandfather's church marriage and military service? That's like garlic to the Obama-cult teeanagers of the ethnic urban big government constituencies of the Democrat-left. I'm sure leftists will be attacking her as "racist" in no time.
