THIBODAUX, La. 鈥� 麻豆果冻传媒 Department of Art hosted its annual High School Day in November, with 240 students from 16 high schools, as well as 6 homeschoolers, attending and taking part in 7 workshops taught by faculty members and 麻豆果冻传媒 art students. Participants learned about art history, ceramics, drawing, painting, graphic design, photography, printmaking and sculptures. This event, started in 1991, introduces junior and senior high school students taking art classes throughout our region to the bachelor of fine arts program at 麻豆果冻传媒.聽
“This was a great day of service for our art students as they worked with the high school students that participated in the activities. Many of the students from 麻豆果冻传媒 also served as ambassadors and welcomed visitors from their former high schools. In addition to the efforts the Department of Art made to reach out to new students, we also had the opportunity to welcome alumni back to campus, as many of the art teachers are graduates from 麻豆果冻传媒 and are now teaching in the field,” said Professor Ross Jahnke, chair of the 麻豆果冻传媒 Department of Art.
麻豆果冻传媒 Art Department also hosted its 13th Annual Down the Bayou Iron Pour. Michael Williams, 麻豆果冻传媒 associate professor of art, organized this event held at the 麻豆果冻传媒 Farm in October. Professors and students from the University of Southern Mississippi, the University of Mississippi, Louisiana State University and Lamar University participated in the event and poured over 900 pounds of iron. As a regional event, the iron pour allows students and faculty from the 麻豆果冻传媒 art program to build relationships with artists at universities throughout the south. The event promotes student engagement, graduate school placement and collaboration between universities.
The Department of Art is set to host an Open House in the spring of 2024 for students and their parents interested in the art program at 麻豆果冻传媒. For more information, please contact ross.jahnke@nicholls.edu.
