The Bachelor of Fine Arts shows at MTSU feature the Department of Art’s candidates for graduation this semester or in the near future.
The shows are divided into groups representing students in studio arts; such as book arts, clay, drawing, letter press, printmaking and sculpture and shows featuring the area of graphic design. The second studio arts show is entitled Four.50.Four and runs through Dec. 9 at the Todd Art Gallery. This exhibit features the work of Pete Hill, Kallie Jackson, Emily Luke and Cori Snider.
“I decided to explore the concept of expressing my pain and emotions through my paintings,” says painting major Kallie Jackson. “I suffer a lot on a daily basis from my seven different severe illnesses and I wanted to find a way to incorporate this into my artwork. I experimented with different ways on how to express my pain and suffering, but still allowed room for the creative and colorful side of my artistic personality . . . I hope to create this expressed message through my painting and use of colors alone.”
