ELLISVILLE \u2013 Two Â鶹ֱ²¥ sophomore art majors earned ribbons for their artwork submitted to the Mississippi Community College Art Instructor Association\u2019s statewide student art show. Jonathan Hayes of Ellisville earned the top award with a Blue Ribbon for his 3D sculpture called, \u201cI Told You So.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hard to describe but the judges called it shapeless and dark,\u201d explained Hayes. \u201cIt\u2019s one of my favorite pieces that is mostly made of paper m\u00e2ch\u00e9 and some mat boards. Inspired by the newspaper comic strips I had access to, I carefully placed them to produce a feeling, a message about how disappointed I am with the way the current politics are turning now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cThe Exhibit Class art majors are solid artists, producing lots of creative things. The future is bright for them, and I\u2019m excited about where they are going with their art. I hope the public takes the time to see their artwork,\u201d said Eubanks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raleigh\u2019s Brice Johnson fills a lot of the gallery with his varied pottery and sculpture pieces in addition to drawings and paintings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s stuff from my life and what I\u2019ve seen and what it means to me. I\u2019m sharing a little part of me with the community including some of my favorite bowls, bottles, old lanterns, and other uncommon things,\u201d said Johnson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other sophomore artists’ work on display this month include the colorful drawings of Nolan Davis of Laurel, Aliyah Denham of Taylorsville, Neena French of Waynesboro, Atlas Hembree of Meridian, and Lindsey Hull of Alvin Texas\/currently of Ellisville.<\/p>\n\n\n
