2 The News Argus News & Features Tuesday, April 27, 2010 u’ww.thenewsargus.com Seniors, faculty exhibit art at Diggs r JORDAN HOWSE REPORTER The "final works of art" of the graduating sen iors and their faculty from the fine arts depart ment have been on display in Diggs Gallery since March 26. Both exhibits end May 8. The 18th Annual Senior Art Show Interpretations: Rams Create exhibit features works by 18 students including Jessica Savage and Gordon Teagle. Several different types of media were used in the students' 47- piece exhibit such as acrylic, wire, plastic spoons, marker, digital prints, and oil. "I chose pieces that would give a good mix of my skill and capabilities as a designer as well as show a little bit of my personality," Savage said. Savage, a Raleigh native, created animated 3-D models as well as a few graphics. Teagle, a senior computer graphics major from Virginia Beach, said he plans to apply for a job in multimedia and attend graduate school. "My ultimate goal is to work for Disney/Pixar Studios and become an art professor," Teagle said. The exhibit "Views from Our World: Works by the WSSU Art Faculty, includes paintings by James Huff and Marvette Aldrich, oil portraits by A1 Dean and Juie Rattley, and images of the KP Urban Art Environment by Tammy Evans. "When I was teaching at Wayne State [University], some students, community groups and I wanted to take advantage of Detroit's growing resource — space," said Evans, assistant professor of graphic design. "Art, design and the creative process can find innovative solutions to the social and economic challenges facing the city." Leo Morrissey, associate art professor, said he created art dealing with his personal notation of time and space. He collected postcards from all over the world and photographed them. He also created postcards with his name and e-mail. During a panel discussion April 13 in Diggs Gallery, the faculty artists provided the audi ence background about their pieces. "I was taking something that is sort of out dated and using modern technology to update it," Morrissey said. "I didn't get many responses, but I enjoy audi ence interaction." Morrissey said some senior students would be open to having a panel discussion like the one the faculty had. "They are just getting to a point where others are seeing their work and may be shy or reluc tant to present their pieces." Dr. Alison Fleming, assistant professor of art history, moderated the panel discussion. Evans said she wants the panel discussion to become an annual event.

"I am positive that students who received these awards will continue to strive for excellence as they have already demonstrated by their progress in the areas for which they were recognized," Ford said. "There are three important steps a student has to take to be eligible for an award. "All students need to be aware of the opportunity to be recognized at a College of Arts and Sciences awards pro gram."
