WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THE ODYSSEY JR/SR CAMPUS?
Commercial Art
Commercial Art 1 students are learning how to create Low-Poly designs which is a contemporary style used in video game design, animation, and illustration. The art style uses geometric shapes, primarily triangles, to create images with flat colors applied to each polygon. These talented digital artists are taking their time to make amazing creations for the end of year art show!

Congratulations to Nicholas Welsh for his win on Saturday, February 24, 2024, at the Eastern Area competition.
