Featured Project: Artwork from Art History


Cubist Art
Surrealism
Romanticism
Impressionism

Art History at the Creative Center takes students a step further in learning about historical art periods, assigning projects influenced by those periods. From Romanticism to Cubism, students learn by doing, assuring that these art eras are remembered later in their careers.

Cubism: Henna Sexton - Smithville High School, Smithville, MO
Surrealism: Rachel Grandick - Abraham Lincoln High School,

What does the company do? We help establish independent authors as their own print entity and provide them with products they're proud to put their name on. What's your book about?
 
What does the graduate do?  I design everything - logos, brochures, book covers and interiors, PR pieces, and websites for the independent author.


From the Director

I have decided that winter is finally here. Here in Omaha, the weather is getting colder every day, and a business associate in South Dakota told me that he woke up to 6" of snow Monday morning.

With the weather in mind, I want to personally wish everyone safe traveling over the Thanksgiving Holiday. We are very close to the end of the semester, if you can believe it, and soon we will be tired of hearing all those Christmas carols. (Unless you're like me, and never tire of Christmas music!)

For those of you in your senior year of high school, let us know if you are interested in pursuing a career in graphic design and advertising. Classes for next year start on August 8, 2011.

Sincerely,
