Amazing Alumni

So, I have been teaching here at Hunterdon County Polytech for 14 years. I have some pretty amazing alumni that work as professional artists and designers throughout the country. I was fortunate to have many contribute to our art exhibit this past Wednesday night. Keeping in touch with my past students is extremely rewarding. It makes me happy to see them follow their dreams and make art for  a living. They have gone on to schools such as School of Visual Arts, Columbus College of Art and Design, Savannah College of Art and Design, Pratt, Parsons, Maryland Institute College of Art, and University of the Arts. They are graphic designers, cartoonists, animators, 3D digital sculptors, interactive designers, visual development artists, illustrators, and fine artists. Above is Bryan Wiszniewski with his most recent painting of Beyonce. Check out our Facebook photo album of the event.

CTE Advisory Committee

As a Career and Technical Education school, Hunterdon County Polytech strives to stay current in our fields of study. Each class maintains an advisory committee made up of professional members, students, parents, post secondary educators, counselors, and alumni. The art department advisory committee is essential to keeping us current with software, industry trends, and connections to the field. Our committee boasts 3D animators, illustrators, business owners, video game designers, graphic designers, photographers, and marketing professionals. It's through this committee that curriculum changes, field trips, guest speakers, and equipment purchases are discussed.

Published Book Illustrations

-->

Students in the Polytech Commercial Arts program can now include commissioned and published cartoon illustrations in their college portfolios thanks to the just released book, “Memoirs of an Impurfect Salesman” by author and Flemington resident D. S. “Chip” Carroll Jr. The students were hired by Mr. Carroll  last year to provide illustrations for each chapter of his autobiography that takes readers through his extensive career in the sales industry.  The cover of the book, designed by Steven Jaskula, includes a humorous collection of advice and guidance with cartoon illustrations submitted by the three students.   Says Carroll, “Finally, a sales book with cartoons and pictures to hold your interest!” Bethany Wright and Allison Petronio are seniors at Polytech and plan to continue as art/design majors in college this fall.   Steven attends the Kubert School in Dover and is studying cartooning. Pictured here are Bethany and Allison with their published cartoon illustrations.
