Artists Gain Insight from Local Professional

Dallas artist Carroll Swenson-Roberts joined Holly Clifford’s Painting and Drawing class for lunch last week to look at Swenson-Roberts’ artwork, discuss her process, and view works not previously seen at their Art Space 111 field trip. The students then had their entire class period to create and begin their own large-scale mixed media piece. Swenson-Roberts connected with Clifford’s Art Fundamentals students as they drew old photos on paper bags focusing on value and composition. Both experiences on campus and the previous Painting and Drawing field trip were Supporting CAST grants.
