An artist with a strong message: Bachelor of fine arts and honors graduate Luecy Xiong Illustration graduate Luecy Xiong explains her deeply personal BFA show

Really proud of student Luecy Xiong and all the Graduating Art & Design Students this year. Great feature on her work here with a video interview.

Luecy Xiong: Art as Identity Luecy Xiong grew up with one foot in American culture and one foot in Hmong culture. She is using her art illustration BFA project to combine those cultures ...

Lesson in presentation. Thinking about Water-Media last spring and teaching it again this coming fall. I was rushed and when I looked back at my documentation, I realized it was really poor. Here is Michelle's brilliant collage work for the "Land/Bend, Slice, Cut" project. I copied the poor image as a layer, used warp to correct the parallax, corrected the contrast and colors and cropped it. I also used the stamp tool to remove the shadow of the push pins. Now it is presentable as student work for next fall's class. Before, it certainly was not. Don't present your work, or anyone else's in a poor light, literally or figuratively, if avoidable.

All 14 of our BFA Seniors! Great group and proud of them! Come check out their exhibition, Metamorphosis this week!

ART476 Design for Community has been incredibly busy this semester contributing design for local organizations. One project was to design for VolumeOne, our local culture magazine. Our student Haylee had her design selected and the December 11 issue is out TODAY! Find her design all over the Chippewa Valley!

Congratulations!
