By the time of his fifth year at Herron, he had exhibited his paintings and lithographs on a national level, receiving many awards. Upon graduating in 1948, he received the school’s highest award, The Milliken Traveling Scholarship, and used it to study in New York. John Bernhardt, a fellow Tech grad and recent Herron graduate, went with him.nIn the 1950s, Antreasian continued to perfect is lithography.

He also taught at Herron during part of this time. In 1960 he, along with June Wayne and Clinton Adams, opened up the Tamarind Lithography Workshop in Los Angeles. Antreasian’s role was of the masterprinter. By 1961, they had 21 artist who came to study and work. From the beginning, Tamarind Fellowships were given, with help by the Ford Foundation.
