Keeping Students Honest in Image Use

As we use more and more technology in the artroom, the issue of copyrights and originality often comes into play. Hannah Coale, a digital arts teacher, has a tip for keeping students honest when they use image sources from the internet.

"When I teach any project in my Photoshop classes, which require students to turn in work they have created independently by borrowing parts of online images… (we can do this because we are an educational institution), I also require that they include, usually on a separate page, something which I call an “Imageography.”

CCU Bowl-a-Thon Gets a Little Messy

We had a great day making bowls for the nationwide "Bowl-a-Thon" initiative. People got their hands dirty for the first phase of "Empty Bowls," a project where artists and art organizations work on a community level to fight hunger. The bowls will be fired and glazed before being sold this Spring, filled with some yummy soup. All the proceeds will go to benefit local food banks. 


If you weren't able to make it in create your own bowl, don't worry. You can still help the cause by coming out in May to pick out your favorite and help the cause.
