Perfecting Pastels
Students in both visual art foundations and advanced visual art worked on creating the illusion of form with their pastel techniques.
Street Art
Students used "throw" letter techniques to work on depth and color schemes. The work is inspired by local Columbus street artist.
Advanced Visual Art
Students crafted fictional characters in the build up to a color study.
Visual Art
Students are focusing on a large three week project centered on identity.
Digital Art updates
Students are using photoshop tools to create animal images with human faces in conjunction with some creative writing.
