Studio art majors showcase I.S. exhibitions:
Two new Senior Independent Study exhibitions made their debut at Ebert Art Center on Sunday, April 8. Studio art major Ann Lewis ’12 showcased her collection of drawings, “Time Travelin’ is Dino-mite!” marker and ink creations made over graphite underdrawings. Her project follows three time-traveling dinosaurs, including the deinonychus in Edo-era Japan featured below. “It saddens me when people write off any illustration-based story that has panels and speech bubbles as something only for children and nerds,” said Lewis in her didactic, and hopes to engage both “lovers and skeptics,” as she reclaims the art form.
Studio art major A. Greer Morgan ’12 presented her series of woven clay baskets in “Come to the Table.” In conjunction with her sculptures, Morgan also baked and wove bread into some of the pieces, exploring the artistic potential of dough as a weaving material. The project examines community dynamics and the idea of social interaction as an artistic medium. Morgan will be serving artisan breads daily with her exhibit.
