GC Museum-New Exhibition

Field and Stream By Clayton Colvin June 7 - August 22, 2012 Birmingham based artist Clayton Colvin uses his paintings as a means to explore and understand the vast array of every day experiences people deal with. His abstract and figurative style creates striking images of moments in time that are just ambiguous enough to allow the viewer to uniquely interpret each work in a way that has been shaped by their own experiences. The exhibition, titled Field and Stream, employs a range of mixed media, from acrylic to charcoal, as well as a vibrant palette of colors, to bring to life a variety of compelling and thought provoking images from the every day.

Art Class Installs 3-D Exhibit in LITC!

Art Class Installs 3-D Exhibit in Library & Instructional Technology Center

Georgia College’s Library & Instructional Technology Center (LITC) collaborates with Assistant Professor Crystal Wagner’s students to showcase their artwork in the atrium.

Assistant Professor Crystal Wagner’s 3-Dimensional Design students recently created and mounted their projects entitled, “Emphasis Cubes” in the lower level of the LITC’s atrium. Wagner states that the “project was inspired by artist Louise Nevelson, an American sculptor known for her monumental, monochromatic relief assemblage sculptures. Each student constructed two cubes, 15 inches x 15 inches x 3 inches deep. In one cube, they were confined to borders, while in the other they were encouraged to consider opportunities for breaking the square.” After creating their artwork, the students installed their work in the first alcove of the LITC’s atrium. Installation took around six hours, and Wagner stated that “during the installation process, the students worked closely together to create one large composition from their individual pieces.”
