FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE-(Concordia, KS)

 

The Clyde High School art class toured the Art Department at Cloud County Community College’s Concordia campus on November 8. Students experienced carving in clay with career ceramic artists Catharine Magel, St. Louis, MO, and Mara Smith, Seattle, WA. The artists are working on the Cloud County Historical Museum’s Whole Wall Project. Peggy Wambold, Clyde’s Art Instructor, accompanied the students.
 
Barb Stevens, Cloud’s Art Instructor, said, “Cloud’s art department feels that having career artists working in our facility has been a wonderful example for the art students, and will open up some possibilities for the students to be as creative in their job search as they are in their projects.  To have the local high schools bring their art students to campus to experience the carving of the wall first hand has been an additional bonus for the high schools and the college.”
 
Cat Scratch Productions, Concordia High School’s broadcast production class, captured the event for a future broadcast on the public access channel.
