High School Art Students Tour Chase Design

SKANEATELES, NY (December 20, 2017) – A number of Skaneateles High School art students toured Chase Design in Skaneateles on Tuesday, learning the many different facets of today’s design industry.

 

Guided by Skaneateles High School Art teacher Jessica Sawchuk, students in Graphic Design, Studio Art, and Advanced Art spent half the day at Chase on Tuesday visiting with designers and getting a first-hand look at the steps and processes that designers go through to create work for clients. 

 

“The students were able to see that design is not just about creating work for print, but for three dimensional aspects as well,” said Sawchuk.  “Design involves packaging and even how a store is laid out in order to bring more customers in.”

 

Armed with their sketchbooks, students were able to jot down ideas and created quick drawings inspired by their time at Chase.

 

“It was a great day,” said Sawchuk.  “The designers at Chase frequently come to our Graphic Design class to critique student work.  This has helped to guide our students into designs for our school musical and drama posters.”

 

Students who have taken Studio Art or DDP are encouraged to follow up with Graphic Design, as the class will be designing the promotional poster for the upcoming spring musical.
