Art Supply Madness
With
orientation, ID pictures, and hand-punch scanning, the first day of class is
hectic - but there's always time for new art supplies! Students at the Creative
Center can opt to purchase an art supply kit that the Creative Center and Blick
Art Supplies have partnered to provide. Students get all their supplies for the
semester, and they get a severely discounted rate, saving them time and money.
Joe Kroese was the 2009 recipient of the Andy Arrants Memorial
Scholarship, which provided his art supply kit at no charge (approximately $500
value). Joe attended Western Christian High School in Doon, IA.
Congratulations, Joe!

Project of the Month
Art Media
Techniques 101 is a first-semester course that works with only traditional
media. The first assignment is called the "white paper project" and helps
students understand concept, perspective and craft without having to negotiate
with color. Students can use different fabrics and textures, as long as the
finished project is entirely white. Students are graded on concept and layout as well as craft. The final piece is hung on the students' wall for grading - and for all students and visitors to enjoy!
