This year’s edition focuses on students’ answers to the question, Now What? All school year long each assignment while containing technical skill building components also existed within a theme. Asking the big questions that artists grapple with is a key driver to revealing the meaning behind student artwork. Specifically, a student may be asked to render a realistic drawing of a still-life but furthermore they are challenged to keep in the fore how to answer the question, Now What? This practice has led to the type of maker experience that values expression, beauty, and truth equally.
