Come check out our student show featuring our newest students best work. Here is some info about the show:

Opening Reception: Friday, April 9, 5-8pm visit us here.
The Foundations program at UWM provides all first-year visual art students with a broad background in basic drawing, 2-D and 3-D concepts and the digital arts. It also provides them with an understanding of contemporary art practice and exposure to varoius major options. The foundations year is a time of artistic and personal developement during which students choose their areas of concentration and begin to see themselves becoming practitioners in their field. Each year the Foundations area chooses a theme around which instructors my link assignments and readings. This year’s theme is Ecology/Ecologies, looking both at our relationships with the environment and also ecologies as a study of systems and interconnected parts of a whole. Foundations XI is a result of students creating works in a variety of mediums, some in response to the chosen theme and others in response to other investigations.

Jason Lanka’s massive drawings and photos are now on display in the Atrium space in the Union. They will be up for several weeks. Here are some images of his work and some information about his work.
Boundary; something that marks or fixes a limit (as of territory). The line that divides one area of land from another.
The space at which our culture comes in contact with the environment inspires my creative work. Much can be understood about the nature of how our society defines its role and place within the natural world by the observation of this boundary.
I seek to address the demarcation of our species’ relationship with the land. Am I of the land or in the land? Each piece made within a lineage of exploration has set out to answer this question. Our identity as people and a nation are so often defined by our place within our environment and how we view our relationship with the natural world.
