DEPARTMENT OF STUDIO & DIGITAL ARTS (SADA) CONGRESSIONAL A RT C O M P E T I T I O N A WA R D S C E R E M O N Y
The Department of Studio & Digital Arts (SADA) had the pleasure to host the 2021 Congressional Art Competition Awards Ceremony in the Green Hall collaborative space in early May. High school students from the 5th district of Virginia submitted their work into the annual competition. Some of the SADA professors had the opportunity to judge the work and present the awards alongside Congressman Bob Good. The winning work will hang in the Capitol for the next year.
SADA received the Illuminate Grant for “Augmenting Studio & Digital Arts Curriculum through Virtual Experiences,” which proposes to upgrade the existing 3D Innovation lab by installing a full virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) setup with room tracking. Students will be able to incorporate VR and AR into their projects, which gives them the hands-on experience and skills they need to work in the most innovative industries.
