CHADRON – In late April, Chadron State College students in Printmaking I (ART 225) led a two-day activity with 17 seventh graders in CSC alumna Whitney Tewahade's art class at the Chadron Middle School. CSC Art Professor Laura Bentz said the collaboration allowed the younger students to experience the process of silk screen printing, interact with college students, and begin thinking about the possibility of attending college.
The CSC students were Allison Acosta of Oro Valley, Ariz., Marissa Borchard of Sidney, Neb., Mackenzie Carlson of Trenton, Neb., Maya Goss of Cheyenne, Wyo., Madison Kinney of Gering, Neb., Amber Lange of Eustis, Neb., Angelyse Perez of Newcastle, Wyo., and Michael Rosebraugh of Wichita, Kan.
“For the CSC students, it is a great chance to demonstrate and teach one of the artmaking processes they learned during the semester and engage in a service-learning project,” Bentz said. “Once the panels from the group effort were finished, they were cut into smaller pieces and distributed to each participant.”
This is the second year Tewahade and Bentz have worked on the collaboration. Bentz said they plan to make it an annual event.
