WASA represented Washburn very well on Saturday at the Aaron Douglas Art Fair. Many students and faculty came out to volunteer and bask in the glow. We had a wonderful day and reached out to many beautiful children, offering them free face painting, temporary tattoos, portraits and caricatures, as well as the opportunity to write a wish on a ribbon to hang in the community 'wishing tree.' Kids and parents were lined up at the Kids Zone nonstop from 11am- 5pm when the fair closed.
WASA Volunteers on site and in preparation included:
Mike Allen
Aja Longi
Mark Brenneman
Deedra Baker
Natalie Spangenberg
Jeremiah Kemper
Daniel Coburn
Emily Ferrel
Katya Strackova

These students will be funded by WASA to attend the Semester Art Department Trip to Kansas City on Oct. 22.
Thanks again!
Alumni Mack Schroer came and donated his caricaturing skills, and Sara O'Keefe and Cari Powell also showed their lovely faces.
Faculty Ye Wang not only judged the Art Competition, but drew portraits of children. Stephanie Lanter, WASA's advisor, got very good at painting Jayhawks and roses on wee cheeks and arms. |
