The Art of Being a Muskie:
Creativity from Collaboration  

Dennis O'Neil '69"Muskingum was the beginning of my career as an artist. It is a great place to launch your life."

Dennis O'Neil '69 credits the foundation of his distinguished career to his Muskingum experience and to his time as editor of the 1968 Muscoljuan.

"It's been over 40 years [since I was editor], and it's still an important time for me," said Dennis. "I tried to show the spirit of the place, the creative sides of the students and the special times we all shared. Making art is all about communicating, regardless of the medium. I felt that with the yearbook I succeeded."

Today, Dennis is regarded as an innovator in the world of collaborative printmaking and is "renowned for his pioneering work that is light years beyond traditional screenprinting boundaries," according to Katherine Blood, Curator of Fine Prints for the Library of Congress. He directs the internationally-renowned Hand Print Workshop International and is chair of the Fine Arts Department at the Corcoran College of Art + Design

Walter Hall 

Otto and Fran Walter HallWhat is life like in Otto and Fran Walter Hall? We asked students from the three programs that now reside there.

 

Music

"I love the abundance of practice rooms. In the new choral room, I can finally hear all the other parts and voices, not just the people next to me."   Grace Scheizer '12

           

World Languages

"We have much better access to technology and the rooms are really well-designed for conversation classes and our other language activities."   Brock Wilson '14

 

Center for the Advancement of Learning

"The environment is quieter and we now have our own rooms so we can work privately with our tutors. We have more space and it's easier to concentrate."    Jeremey Crear '11
