Foundations VIII: Mapping April 13-19 Opening Reception April 13, 5-8pm The Union Art Gallery is pleased to present the eighth annual student exhibition of the Peck School of the Arts- Department of Visual Art Foundations program. The Foundations program provides first-year art students with a broad background in basic drawing, 2D & 3D concepts and the digital arts. The Foundations year is a time of artistic and personal development, where students choose their areas of concentration and begin to see themselves grow as visual artists. Each year there is a general theme to structure assignments around, which gives the program a sense of consistency as well as providing the students with programming that facilitates their concept development. This year's theme is mapping . By interpreting various ways in which we map, such as charting, planning, drawing, plotting, and recording, students create objects that feature this theme in the collection of their works. An Installation by Peck School of the Arts students will be on view in the Atrium Gallery (across from the bookstore) Union Art Gallery Campus Level, Room W199 2200 E.
