From Our Earth and Sky
is a student-faculty collaborative effort, with the primary research
and collection done by students Melanie Neil and Kathy Hart through
a grant from South Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities
(SCICU). The actual exhibition was prepared with the help of fellow
student Kimberly Bowers and alumna Rebecca Phillips (04). Faculty
collaborator was Dr. Ute Wachsmann-Linnan, assistant professor
of art history.
In addition, dance major Jessica Moore, who is of Native American
ancestry, worked through another SCICU research grant to document
Native American Pow-Wows in North and South Carolina during the
summer of 2004. She will preform a dance during the exhibition's
opening.
Four related workshops for Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts will be offered by the department of art on Nov. 6 & 13, from 10am-noon. The workshops are designed to meet Scouting badge requirements. The two Nov. 6 workshops are Storytelling and Arts and Crafts with Dr. Will Goins of the Cherokee Indian Tribe of SC, and Making a Pinch Pot Out of Clay by Chief Running Wolf Bruner of the Croatan Tribe. The Nov. 13 workshops are Basket Weaving from Kudzu Vines by Nancy Basket of the Cherokee Tribe and Native American Dancing by Jessica Moore of the Waccamaw Tribe of NC. Workshops will be held in the Spears Music/Art Center on campus. Space is limited, and reservations are encouraged.
