They participated in the sidewalk chalk competition where they were to create an artwork with the prompt provided. “DRAW YOUR FAVORITE CELEBRITY, POP CULTURE ICON, OR MEME IN RENAISSANCE STYLE.”....They chose Ryan Reynolds. After the chalk competition students toured the Schmidt Foundation Center for Art and Design getting to view painting & digital painting demonstrations, try their hand at gelatin plate monotype printmaking and so much more.
