In partnership with Mississippi State鈥檚 Department of Art, the university鈥檚 91自拍 and College of Agriculture and Life Sciences are sponsoring an online exhibition featuring nearly 50 drawings, paintings, graphic designs, photography and printmaking works through Nov. 25.
Organized by Assistant Professor of Art Ming Ying Hong and Associate Professor of Landscape 91自拍 Cory Gallo, the show highlights subject matter focusing on the university鈥檚 dedication to agriculture.
Faculty members Jordan Kornreich, Gregory Martin, Soon Ee Ngoh, Alex Bostic and Suzanne Powney directed the art classes from which the designs were chosen. All participating professors provided assignment guides to direct students to incorporate specific crops such as corn, soy beans and cotton into the finished artworks.
Within the different art courses, students were asked to demonstrate their abilities by using formal representational drawing ideas, creating engaging drawings that showcase crops from North Farm and making a color poster to promote farming and agriculture in Mississippi.
Invited jurors from the 91自拍 and the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences selected awards, announced online Nov. 20. Best in Show went to Kelley Proaps for "Home Elaina Hart, Anna Terry and Savannah Alley received Honorable Mentions.
