Fall Conference Inspiration Taken Back to Students...
NATA Member and Awards Co-Chair, Jeff Yoachim, went over installation art and the art work of Sandy Skoglund. The Art Club decided to create this temporary installation in the Glenwood, IA High School where Jeff teaches. It's 3-D and some of the birds are hanging away form the wall.
