Creative Solutions " Transforming Race " exhibit pairs college/high school students BY TODD LI CK I HI CHRONIC! I A new exhibit lets local students use art to express their thoughts on race "Transforming Race" debuted last Thursday at downtown's Liberty Arts Center. Wake Forest University students part nered w ith local high schools students to create art for the exhibit, which is the result of a partnership between WFU and the city's Human Relations Commission. The student artists took part in a recent race relations workshop held by the Human Relations Commission, and then spent several weeks creating the art at Wake Forest, under the direction of Professor David Finn. Five high school stu i dent/college student pairs created diverse pieces. Becky Bowers, who graduat ed from Wake in May. teamed up with Brandon Wilkins, a rising senior at Parkland High School. Their piece. "Spectrum." is a giant paper-mache howl filled with glitter. They say the piece reflects different col ors and represents the melt ing pot of American culture. "We could he any piece of glitter in that bowl." said Bowers, who was a studio art major. Wilkins described the experience as "awesome." He was impressed with WFU's art studio and its many art supplies and tools. While his post-school career goals are still up in the air, Wilkins said the project opened his eyes to the possi bilities with art.

Arrington. a psychology major and studio art minor, said it took many hours and some trial and error to final ize their project Both Lee and Arrington were glad they participated in the project. "1 do like the whole idea ? Of heing able to discuss race because you're exposed to it everyday, and being Asian. I'm always exposed to stereotypes." said Lee.
