In
December 2011, the Ohio Art Education Association community lost Jerry
Tollifson, one of its most beloved, colorful, dedicated and influential
members. Through his teaching and leadership over the course of a career
that spanned more than half a century, Jerry touched the lives of
countless art students and teachers across the state. The Jerry
Tollifson Art Criticism Open is just one way his legacy continues to
encourage and shape art students and teachers today.
Jerry
conceived this writing competition as an annual opportunity to
recognize students for their ability to articulate and compose critical
responses to artworks, thereby empowering them with increased discipline
and confidence as they approach art and life. The competition supports
the Common Core within Ohio's Visual Art Standards by encouraging
students to use critical thought and judgment to reach deeper
understandings of an artwork’s meaning, value, and significance.
Students with winning entries will be recognized at the OAEA Youth Art Month Celebration in March held at the STRS Building in Columbus. Winning entries will also be featured in an upcoming issue of ArtLine and showcased on the OAEA website.
