Art & Writing Expo at California University.

The art club recently visited California University to attend an Art and Writing Expo. Students were able to participate in either a printmaking, drawing, painting, ceramics or photography workshop and one writing workshop. The students who attended said the workshops were amazing. Tyler Chapman said, “It made me love writing.”  Brandon Fulton said, “That was an awesome fieldtrip, the writing teacher was so good.”  Countless students said the art workshops were very helpful and unique. Only three photos were taken of the day. Three students who attended the ceramics workshop were Travis Smith, Devin Plymire, and Tyler Davis.
