Welcome to ARTS401/501, Character Design! This is a fun class full of collaboration, brainstorming, and lots and lots of illustrating. In Professor Wilson’s class, you spend the entire semester world building and creating three unique characters for your world. In this course, you can find both Graduate and Undergraduate students working together to critique and inspire each other’s stories, worlds, and illustrations. By using our top-of-the-line Cintiq Lab, students are able to learn the process and programs that are the Industry Standard for Illustration and Character Design.

What a blessing it is to create for the Lord, the Ultimate Creator! Professor Smith had the amazing opportunity of completing a Live Sculpture at Thomas Road Baptist Church’s Youth event, “Episode”. Over 1,000 students were present from various local churches in Lynchburg. Professor Smith sculpted a bust of Jesus Christ all through the worship and sermon. At the end of the night, students who gave their lives to Christ stood on stage and placed a thorn on the crown that sits upon Jesus’s head. What a blessed night it was!

Join us in the Liberty University Art Museum for the exhibition, Auschwitz Album Revisited. This show features a selection of work by artist Pat Mercer Hutchens, a woman who dedicated her life to preserving the memory of a time in history that we should never forget.

This exhibition will have a soft opening upon our return to campus. We invite you to visit the Liberty University Art Museum and experience this show Monday-Friday from 10 a.m.-4:30 p.m. through February 10. Please join us as we remember and honor those who were, and still are, impacted by the Holocaust.
