The stories of veterans are being told through a special art project. A veteran’s history class has teamed up with printmakers in the art department to visually tell the stories of the Iraq and Afghanistan veterans in the history class. It’s called "Back from the Front: Transitioning from the Military to Civilian Life."
David Chrisinger is the Adjunct Instructor of History. He teaches former veterans turned college students about the history of veterans coming home from military service, as they did.
Chrisinger says the veterans and the art students really connected, and the results affected everyone involved. “There’s something also really valuable about someone else caring enough about your story to spend weeks creating a beautiful piece of art it illustrate it, and that’s what Bob Erickson’s print making students have done. You know, they’ve literally put sweat and tears into these prints.”
