Month: April 2020

This spring, Angela Battle’s Pushing Paint class has been working on a new project, “The Hybrids” (see link at bottom to see all images). Students collaged black and white pictures of animals and combined them into hybrid forms. Then, they interpreted their hybrids into colorful acrylic paintings on paper and added unexpected landscapes. 

Before they began, the class had a workshop to explore a variety of ways to create active, colorful, atmospheric backgrounds. The project had just started when classes were moved to a virtual experience, and students have worked at home to complete them. 

Take a look at each student’s solution to this creative project! Click on the link below to access the project and then click to advance the images:

Update: Professor Angela Battle is supervising painting student, Marissa Hernandez, during the creation of a mural for her senior exhibition. Marissa is a local emerging artist and an example of someone who has diligently kept working over Spring Break and during the Covid-19 quarantine to fully realize ideas and projects.

Marissa Hernandez has been steadily at work on the development on a mural for her senior exhibition. Professor Angela Battle remarks that Marissa is a good example of how students continue to work and create despite school breaks and the Covid-19 pandemic.
