Photograms, Acrylic and mixed media, Computer Photoshop, Plein Air, Indigenous Art of Australia, Water Color, Pen and Ink, Stuck on You, Cartooning, Self Portraits, Drawing, Printmaking. It was also decided to follow up with Heather Groenstein from Hartford Magnet Middle School.
Committee members agreed to make contact with the artists in order to secure their services as early as possible. Here is a list of the artists and the contact person:
