On our ArtPrize field trip, students were able to take time to create their own art. Kendall College of Art and Design offered a workshop for students to draw self portraits based on the quote by Jesse Jackson, "Never look down on anybody unless you're helping them up". Students were encouraged to think of a time where they did a selfless act and helped someone. They then were asked to draw what they feel they would have looked like during that time. Their self portraits will be on display the duration of ArtPrize at Kendall College of Art and Design.

Visit our artsonia.com online gallery to view their art digitally.

Our trip was a success! We made art at Kendall College of Art and Design and visited KCAD Federal Building, UICA, and Site Lab. Students were exposed to many different types of contemporary arts while on the trip. Here are some photos of their experiences.
