Who said that Art students have it easy?
This last couple of
months the Art and Design LLC students have been busy with projects in the 2D
and 3D classes and experiencing fun trips throughout Milwaukee. Our teachers for the 2D and 3D class are both professional artists,
Melissa Wagner-Lawler for 2D and Ray Chi for our 3D. Both teachers are involved
in the arts throughout the city of Milwaukee. In addition they help lead and create the
collaborative projects in the 2D and 3D classes.
Earlier, in the semester we visited the Haggerty Art
Museum on Marquette campus to get inspired. From there 2D and 3D students
paired up to collaborate on art work inspired by the museum for future
projects. The 3D class students than did a paper project inspired from the
museum. Now the 2D class is making a painting project from their partner in 3D
class. We are now in the first stages of the painting project and everyone is
still inspired.
Students have been learning to branch out of their comfort zones. We have fun learning,
expressing, creating and using our creativity. There are so many little details and time put into final projects. The 3D students are beginning work on their plaster projects. Students are taking advantage of learning new skills and adapting them
to their degree and skills. The Art and Design LLC allows students to explore
the 2D and 3D class, but also to learn collaborate with other students and be
more involved in the Milwaukee community.
Being an art major student is a lot of work. The lessons learned on balancing multiple projects, studio time and time management will prepare you for the upcoming work and career of a creative field.
