The Coburn Art Gallery on the Ashland University campus has scheduled three summer art sessions -- Summer Art Camp and two separate Art Days -- that will allow for art experiences for young artists.
The Summer Art Camp will offer a one-week session June 24 to 28 from 9 a.m. to noon for young artists ages 7 to 13. The young artists will learn how to use a variety of media and experience activities in this jungle-themed art camp. They will develop a cultural appreciation and aesthetic awareness as they explore different art forms as well as develop their own talent for self-expression. The summer camp fee is $65 per child and all materials are provided.
A collaboration between Dr. Jeffrey Tiel, associate professor of philosophy at Ashland University, and AU art student Joshua Risner, who graduated in 2012, has resulted in the two working together on two books published by Tiel.
Following the release of his supernatural thriller, “The Search for Melchizedek,” Tiel desired to give a more artistic touch to his first philosophy text, “Philosophy of Human Nature.” So he and Risner joined forces to display Risner’s painting, “Cleansing Presence,” on the cover of Tiel’s “Philosophy of Human Nature.”

When the performers and crew on the Hugo Young Theatre stage at Ashland University took their final bows April 14, they knew it was the end of a chapter of their lives. For most, there would always be the next show at AU, but for Aaron Arnold, it was the end of the AU chapter of his life.
Arnold, a senior theatre major from Chardon Ohio, is the son of William and Laura Arnold and he has been acting at AU since his freshmen year. In April, he co-starred in the two man show “A Life in the Theatre” by David Mamet alongside AU theatre professor and mentor, Ric Goodwin. It was Goodwin’s last show at AU as well, since May would mark the beginning of his retirement.
