GA students join together with Phila. area High School students
in Printmaking Workshop at The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts.
On Saturday, November 21st, a group of devoted GA art students
were invited to participate with other creative individuals from the
region in a High School Printmaking Workshop at PAFA. Mr.Love organized
this event in collaboration with Prints Link Philadelphia. GA students
participating included- Carter Seegev, Sabrina Tran, Shannon Hill,
Julia, McKernan, Asya Shane-Milton and Elizabeth Wescott. These
students joined forces with students from Abington Senior High School,
Esperanza Academy and Abington Friends School for a day of drawing in
the Historic Cast room, studio tours and printmaking explorations.
"PAFA is the oldest art school in the country and the chance to have
our students work in the same rooms where Thomas Eakins taught is pretty
incredible. But besides working in some awe-inspiring spaces, the
students were also able to create work alongside other area high school
students and hear about art school life. It really was an amazing day
and I was so happy that we could make it happen. The PAFA team was great
and we are already beginning to plan next year’s event."

develop projects and curriculum to educate and support printmaking to
children and teens in the Phila. area
