"Revelation of the Mind" is the title of Jon Harvell's awardwinning piece featured in the fourth annual high school exhibition at the Tyler Museum of Art. Harvell was one of five winners during Saturday's announcement at the museum. Harvell's medium was graphite and ink on paper.

A panel of jurors comprised of art professors from Tyler Junior College, Texas College and the University of Texas at Tyler viewed the exhibit and scrutinized each piece.

"There is a lot of great talent in this community," said Chris Stewart, art professor from TJC. "And a special thanks to the art teachers for making great programs in their schools."

Each winner took home a nice ribbon, gift certificate to an art supply company and a one year student membership to the TMA.
