The Department of Art and Design announces its Annual Foundations Exhibition is now on view at Brick City Gallery. The exhibit is available Jan. 27-Feb. 14 and during the First Friday Art Walk Feb. 7, 6-9 p.m.

The exhibit features the work of students enrolled in the department’s foundation courses. These courses, which include 2D Design, 3D Design, Drawing I and Introduction to New Media, are mandatory for all art, design (studio) and art education majors and minors.

Selections reflect variety of assignments

The annual exhibition highlights student projects that were curated by their art and design instructors. The instructors choose works that best represent the variety and scope of assignments in their classes.

Art and Design Foundations Coordinator Megan Frauenhoffer explained that the artworks “focus on formal studies of the elements and principles of art and design while also giving students a wide variety of media to learn.”

These pieces reflect the students’ progress in mastering fundamental art concepts while exploring different techniques and materials, she said.
