Official Press Release
Student Art Exhibition At The FrameUp Gallery on the Square
The Big Five and The Big Apple
On August 28th, works of digital photography and drawing created by University of Mississippi students will be exhibited at the FrameUp Gallery. The exhibition will feature the work created during two different Studio Art on Location courses in New York and Tanzania.
Draw! New York, taught by Lou Haney, Assistant Professor of Art and the Foundations Coordinator, focused on New York City as their subject. Using city sites from which to draw such as Central Park, Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, Greek and Roman sculpture at the Metropolitan Museum and architecture like the Brooklyn Bridge and Lower Manhattan students explored all the city had to offer. Students also experienced contemporary and modern art through visits to the Museum of Modern Art, Guggenheim Museum, the Whitney, and Brooklyn Museum of Art. To get a sneak peek of their experiences while in New York check out their blog site at http://www.drawnewyork.blogspot.com/.
Digital Photography on Safari was taught by Assistant Professor of Art Brooke White and focused digital travel photography in Tanzania. During their ten days of travel, the Olé Miss safari group visited five game parks including, Arusha National Park, Tarangire National Park, Lake Eyasi and Manyara National Park, Ngorongoro Crater. The group saw and photographed many native animals, including all of the Big Five, which include lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino. In addition to seeing many animals unique to this region, the class spent a day with the Hadzabe tribe learning about their culture and enjoying songs. Students also learned about the cultural and ecological history of the host country, and had the opportunity to dance with the Masaai. Over the ten-day class, each student was asked to create a digital portfolio that reflected his or her own personal expression. Their results will be featured at this exhibition.

Matting demo
Hey everybody-
I hope everyone had a safe trip home. I found a basic matting demo on the web. It is very basic, but if you have any questions let me know.

Time flies when you are having fun...
Today, I visited the Frick Galleries. I had never been and I am glad that I went. Mr. Frick definitely had specific tastes- landscapes and portraits. I saw some lovely Rembrandts and Vermeers. My favorite genre is Dutch still life- New York City has little to no still lifes. I saw one Heda painting at the Met. hmmmm.... I guess I need to teach Draw! Paris or Draw! Amsterdam in order to see some good still lifes. No pictures at the Frick, but I took some images of the garden.This is one of the paintings I saw- I didn't expected to like a Whistler show- but I think this is a really smart painting.
I headed down to the Bowery and saw the New Museum. The building is outstanding. I saw David Goldblatt and Emory Douglas exhibit. Emory Douglas was the official artists for the Black Panthers. Some of the graphic design was really nice. David Goldblatt is a more political William Eggleston. He is South African- his pictures are banal and beautiful. However, his works tells you so much about the racial issues there.
I am heading back in the morning. We just finished an awesome dinner at Gnocco in the East Village. Safe travels...
