Our fifth Student Response Exhibition, Outside the Box<\/i>, is open, and you can come check out the unique creations of 34 students (and vote for your favorite)!<\/p>\n
This is our next post in a series featuring the student artists who have created one or more pieces displayed in Outside the Box<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Meet our featured artist, Josie Masset<\/b>!<\/p>\n
Josie<\/b> is a Junior Studio Art and IMS Co-Major, with a minor in Japanese, from Cincinnati, OH!<\/p>\n
She came to Miami for the medium size of the university, the generous departmental scholarships, the small and friendly art department, and the variety of classes. At Miami, Josie<\/b> is a member of the Japanese Culture and Language Club, MU Fencing, and the Visual Arts Club. She enjoys drawing, painting, cooking, and fencing; and her favorite genres of art are animation, illustrations, and comic art. Her dream job is to be a director or key frame animator for movies!<\/p>\n
The Student Response Exhibition asked students to think beyond physical limits with the concept of a box. For Josie\u2019s<\/b> illustration, titled We Shouldn\u2019t Be Shadows<\/i>, she states,<\/p>\n
“Exploring the box as representative of personal possession and, more specifically, of having a home, this piece illustrates the value of humans over their possessions. Covered in personal stories of people I have met in Cincinnati who experience homelessness, the human figure is a ghostly but large shadow behind the home, exemplifying how we may see possession first but that humanity is far greater.”<\/i><\/p>\n
Come see the exhibition and vote for your top three favorites! Voting will continue until April 6 and the exhibition celebration and awards ceremony<\/a> will be held on April 9, from 7-9 p.m.<\/p>\n
