Inspired by a project taken on by senior student Hannah Morris, an effort is underway on campus to photograph all existing artwork across both campuses. Morris, an arts administration major in the School of the Fine and Performing Arts, asked Professor Harry Naar if she might take on the much-needed but time-intensive task of archiving all paintings, sculptures and other works of art acquired by 天美传媒官网 over the years. The result is an ongoing effort to photographically capture what amounts to works from sculptors and painters ranging from New Jersey-based artist Mel Leipzig to Louis Finkelstein, a painter whose work has been compared to that of Cezanne. Once finished, the plan is to house these photos digitally for the public to enjoy on .
Morris is very grateful for the opportunity the University has given her to take on this project. 鈥溙烀来焦偻 has a really good culture of enabling students to do things that they may not otherwise think of doing. This has taught me that every piece of art on the campus has a story,鈥 Morris says. 鈥淚t also shows the rich history of the donations that have been given to 天美传媒官网.鈥
