Students artwork on display


The Weldon Library in downtown Martin is now featuring an exhibit by several UTM students.

The work featured includes paintings, digital images, and graphic designs.

The paintings were done by Trey Prewitt. These include My Youth which features characters and images from Star Wars.

The painting, which is acrylic paint on canvas, has a black background with the characters lightly painted in white off to the sides. It also features some of the space ships from the movie.

Morning Coffee is another piece by Prewitt. This is also done with acrylic paint on canvas. In this painting, he features a coffee mug on some sort of pedestal in front of a window. Outside the window, you can see landscape, including grass and trees. This piece is done with broad strokes and muted colors.

One of Prewitt’s best pieces is Comics to Life. Here, he painted the cover of a comic book titled, “Ciller Comics.” The cover features the image of a man wearing a Batman shirt and a scowl. He’s also wielding a gun.

The name of the story is The Devil Made Him Do It.

Another interesting piece by Prewitt is God Bless America. This painting was done in red, white, blue and black. It features a sideways flag, which contains X’s and swastikas for stars. There is also a red cross seen in the piece.

All of Prewitt’s paintings are on sale with prices ranging from $150 to $300.

Stephen Burgin is another student with work on display in the library.

His work in the exhibit is made up of SAC promotional ads. Burgin designed ads for the 909 Comedy Series, the Road Trip, the Chinese Golden Dragon Acrobats and the pumpkin carving. All of these events were sponsored by the SAC.

Burgin did all of his work with Adobe Illustrator 10 and Photoshop 7.

Zac Chapman chose to exhibit digital images that he has created.

These include The Temptress which is an image of a woman done in vivid colors with a swirling background.

Timeline is another example of his work.

This piece shows the evolution of cameras from 1544 to 2003. Chapman’s work ,which is on sale with prices ranging from $15 to $25, was all done on Photoshop 6.
