Art students from 14 high schools around the state visited the University of Wyoming earlier this month to participate in the annual High School Art Intensive hosted by the Department of Visual and Literary Arts.
Among the participating students were 10 students from Jackson Hole High School: Tanner Babb, Evan Ball, Alex Bates, Leilani Johnson, Brooklyn McCooey, Ella Nash, Kirsten Rorke, Ally Smith, Clinton Tarver and Aspen Waldron.
The intensive was a two-day, immersive experience for students with an interest in art that consists of educational sessions as well as hands-on studio workshops they often are not able to have in their own schools, such as metal casting or six-hour drawing sessions.
Throughout the weekend, the students interacted with current UW art students and faculty members, and learned more about the art program.
The program is partially funded by an in-reach grant from the UW College of Arts and Sciences Dean’s Office.
