The ONU Department of Art and Design recently held a week-long, intensive design camp for high school artists.

This year's theme was urban forests, something the Ada Tree Commission was glad to see and something any tree lover would support.

Zohie Dysert of Ada was among the campers, who all came up with dramatic posters. A few examples are posted below, including the one by Zohie.

The campers explored the fundamentals of visual communication. The program called on the artists and designers to make a powerful visual statement about trees to be put on banners.

The camp, held at the Wilson Art Building, was offered as part of the Summer Honors and Academic Institute.
