Inside/Out- A High School Art Competition
Are you a high school student in the United States or Canada with creative drive and inspiration? Do you have a passion for art and design? Are you interested in a career in art, design, or architecture?
Lawrence Tech's third annual art competition entitled Inside/Out! could earn you a scholarship to the University's College of Architecture and Design, the largest architecture school in Michigan and among the largest in the United States. The University offers degree programs in: Architecture, Game Art, Industrial Design, Interior Architecture, Digital Arts, Graphic Design, and Transportation Design.
Your Challenge
Inside/Out! challenges aspiring artists, designers, and architects to take that which is contained and implicit, and turn it inside out. Students are encouraged to think both formally and conceptually.
To be considered for the best of show, the students must write a 300 word artist’s statement talking about the idea development of the Inside/Out work.
Eligibility
