Illustration Quarantine Art Project – Photo Gallery

They say that tough times produce the best art. It is also said that there is always light in the darkness. Thankfully we have our students to remind us of that when we need a little pick me up. We all know how talented our students are and the latest example of that comes from the Illustration Program and more specifically, James Giberson's first-year class.

"I thought I would share a project some of my students did for extra credit," James said. "We called it Quarantine Art and they said it was somewhat therapeutic. I'm very proud of the work they did and their strength of character."
