CSSSA.org Visual Arts Program Profile 2010

The Visual Arts Program is dedicated to helping students meet the challenges of contemporary art making through assigned lessons that address critical thinking and problem-solving, the consideration of historical parallels, and the application of rigorous studio art practices. We spoke with Linda Grebmeier, chair for CSSSA 2010's Visual Arts department, who tells us a bit about the structure of the program. Then we visited Jessica Rath's sculpture class and and checked in with some students in their second week.
