He was trained at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, Virginia and at Howard University in Washington, D.C.

Mr. Odeleye has consistently been teaching art since 1973. He has held teaching positions at Dunbar High School, The Duke Ellington School for the Arts, Howard University, Spelman College, Woodland Middle School, Georgia State University and Kennesaw State University.

Artwork Submissions Schedule

Submission Policies

• Submitted artworks must be available for exhibition at Kennesaw State University
  April 20 - May 30, 2012
• Artworks are to be mailed or delivered and picked up by art teachers.
  Kennesaw State University is not responsible for artwork not picked up by pickup date.

Adjudication

We would like to encourage all high schools to hold their own adjudication process. Adjudication at the high school level can conducted by the art teachers themselves or perhaps by a panel art teachers, local artists, and members of the local art community. The point is to promote involvement and create excitement and support of the local community. We have found recently that members of local and state government are happy to become aware of your efforts as high school art teachers.

We would also like to encourage students to take a more active role to prepare their artworks for adjudication. This involves documenting of artworks, following posted deadlines, and submitting artwork images. This is not required, but we think it is an important aspect of a young artist's training.

Instructions on entering artwork submissions through the ASAS submission site are available in December of the year before the Symposium. In the mean time, tips are available for students and teachers to prepare for their submissions. A Winners Poster and Call For Submissions poster is available to help teachers gather submissions.
