These posters represent students' first forage into the world of print-making. Over the course of the semester, students will learn how to create one and two-colour prints, posters, t-shirts, and a variety of saleable merchandise.
Students at the NuSteel program have a unique opportunity to experience the life of an artist-entrepreneur as they work to create and sell handmade art products at Hamilton's monthly art crawls on James St. North.
The program, a partnership between Centre3 for Print and Media Arts, and the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board, is aimed at engaging students in Alter-Ed who enjoy art-based learning. Students undertake several secondary school subjects over the course of the semester, including English, History, Civics and Careers, and Art. All major student projects are art-based. The program, in its infancy last year, proved to be quite successful, and we are now off to a wonderful start in year two.
Here's to the start of a great semester!
