AP Art visits TCU

Fifteen of DJ Perera’s AP Art students visited TCU’s art department on Dec. 2.
Associate Professor Nick Bontrago led the Pioneers on a tour of the art facilities to explore possibilities for art in their future.
After the tour, all of the students made a 3D scan of themselves and created 3D artwork on a program called Tinkercad. The Pioneers also made their own pins and viewed a laser cutter in action.
“It made me realize there’s so much more than drawing on a sheet of paper,” Brianna Christiansen, 11, said, “many more ways of being an artist.”
