Join the Illustration department for an exhibition of original artwork by Polly Becker’s Editorial Illustration class, executed in a variety of media, and presented as part of the school’s Sustainability Initiative.
Each student has illustrated a different topic, all of which would be suitable for coverage in Mother Jones Magazine‘s monthly “Econundrums” column on environmental dilemmas.
Subjects covered range from antibiotics and agribusiness to ethical dining and lead-poisoned water. The aim was to research material relating to the preservation of the planet’s natural resources, and then to create images which illuminate the issues and/or provide commentary on them. This work will be critiqued and has been created in conjunction with the actual Mother Jones art director Carolyn Perot, who helped to shape the assignment.
The opening will be Wednesday, March 3 at 6:00pm on the 1st Floor of the Design and Media Center.
