Parkston art students took a trip to the University of South Dakota Art Department in Vermillion today to expand their knowledge of ceramics with Professor Jinsik Yoo. Students also had the opportunity to be introduced to screen printing. I love getting students out into different venues to learn about the arts, see an amazing art facility, and reignite their love of learning. It was a great day and builds excitement to continue growing our art program for years to come! 🎨✨
