As a means to encourage students to continue to explore different art, artists, and media, I have created this visiting artist program. On the last Friday of every month the students meet with a visiting artist that discusses his or her art and generally gives a demonstration on their prefered medium. This program offers students the opportunity to gain exposure to artwork outside of the classroom as well as ask someone who has persued art as a career questions. Several of the visiting artists are also Art Education students from Illinois State University. Not only does this program benefit the students in attendence at the visiting artist demonstrations, but the students from ISU gain experience demonstrating to students as well as observational hours towards their teaching degree. The photographs at the bottom of the page depict the artists who have previously visited. Each of their photographs serves as a hyperlink to their artist website. I encourage students, parents, and other visitors to explore the art produced by the excellent artists.
