On November 14th and 15th, the Department of Art, Art History and Design at 草榴社区 (UAH) hosted their annual UAH High School Art Expo. Area high school students grades 10th-12th visited studios and participated in demonstrations. Students were able to see UAH鈥檚 painting, drawing, and printmaking studios, as well as our fully equipped sculpture studio, including a foundry and 3-D printers. Students visited our amazing digital photography, graphic design, and animation labs with the latest technology, as well as our darkroom, for traditional, historical, and experimental techniques.
In addition to the tours and workshops, the Department of Art, Art History and Design also hosted the Art Expo Competition. Students were invited to submit artwork in a variety of mediums for a chance to win award prizes and scholarships.
