Currently on display, the Foundations: Form & Content exhibition features exemplary works produced by students enrolled in art foundations courses with the Department.
“All Georgia Southern students pursuing a major in studio arts are required to take foundation courses that include drawing and two- and three-dimensional design,” said Marc Mitchell, gallery director and assistant professor in the BFSDoArt. “The rigorous coursework that comprises the foundations program helps to create the solid infrastructure needed for a career in the Fine Arts. The Foundations exhibition honors the effort of outstanding beginning art students and demonstrates the expectations placed on future students at BFSDoArt.”
Paul LaJeunesse, a member of the art department at Georgia State University in Atlanta, is the juror for the 2013 Foundations exhibition. LaJeunesse received a MFA in painting from Bowling Green State University in 2006, the Elizabeth Greenshields grant in 2006, and a Fulbright grant in 2007 to travel to Reykjavik and Siglufjördur, Iceland. He has exhibited in nationally and internationally, with recent solo exhibitions at Rogue Community College, Oregon; Idaho State University; The Seattle School of Theology & Psychology; Saitama University, Japan; and the Akane Gallery in Tokyo.
The Foundations: Form & Content will remain on display until April 19.
