Todd Camp: Dress Pattern Sculptures (Painter/Sculptor/Ceramics)
Through the support of an OEF classroom grant, art students at Olentangy High School had the opportunity to meet and witness the craft and skills of three professional artist in their classroom. The Visiting Artists’ Series was a first for the district, and according to art teacher Rhainy Edwards and her students - it was a huge success and impactful. I asked Rhainy to share with me how this unique experience impacted her students and this is what she said…..
“The Visiting Artists' Series impacted multiple levels of different disciplines throughout Olentangy's Art Department. Having professional artists share their craft, skills, and life experiences exposed our students to the endless possibilities in the visual arts world! Not only did students get to know the artists personally, but they had the opportunity to work directly with them. Many of our students shared their other artwork and discussed directions and possibilities. The grant has endless possibilities with the variety of artists and materials we could introduce in the classroom. I hope to continue to bring new artists and resources in the classroom in the future!” - Rhainy Edwards, Art Education at Olentangy High School

Chris Powell: Ceramic Artist
