Fine Arts

Visual arts students’ work was showcased during the Spring Semester 2019 Student Art Exhibition. The hallways of the Fine Arts wing, starting at the hallway near the Brandsma Chapel entrance and ending in the Black Box, were filled with wonderful artwork from the following classes: Photography I and II-Honors, Graphic Design II-Honors, Introduction to Art, Ceramics/Sculpture I-UCP, Ceramics/Sculpture II-Honors, Art I, Drawing/Painting II-Honors, Open Studio Art Honors, and Studio Art AP. In addition, the exhibition featured work from Harbinger, Art Club, and the Wellness Day Therapeutic Artmaking sessions.

Snow in April did not stop the Ceramics/Sculpture I and II students from experiencing the wonderful Raku firing process. During the Raku Workshop with Carl Mankert, from Chicago Kiln Service, and his assistant Ian, students had the opportunity to learn about the Japanese firing technique known as Raku and they were able to glaze their vases and sculptures. Prior to this event, Ceramics/Sculpture I students spent two weeks planning and constructing their nature inspired vases and Ceramics/Sculpture II students designed and created a vase inspired by a Raku artist whom they researched.

The Harbinger 2017-2018 magazine is one of 28 nationally to be named as a finalist by the National Scholastic Press Association in its prestigious Pacemaker competition.
