We are grateful that Mr. Mike Ansay, President of the B. Bruce Krier Foundation, was able to join us for our March 19th building dedication!
Mr. Krier and Mr. Ansay were close friends since childhood, so it was particularly fitting to have Mike cut the ribbon for our new Performing Arts Center.
We are honored to have our PAC named after someone who continues to leave a positive legacy at OSD through annual scholarships, grant support, and now the naming of our theater. #BoostTheOost

Second semester in Art 3D means all clay, all the time!
For this particular project titled Monumental Tiles, students were asked to choose a monument or landmark from around the world and sculpt it in low relief.
To sculpt in low relief is to carve/take away material in the smallest increments possible to still create a 3-dimensional object. Both students here are working on a singular piece of clay- no building required!
Crystal is working on the Blue Dome Church in Santorini, Greece and Nathan is working on the Tokyo Tower in Tokyo, Japan. Look at that focus!
