This exhibition is presented in collaboration between the Lafayette Parish School System Talented Visual Arts Program and the Hilliard Art Museum. Using the \u00a0exhibitions on view in Spring , students were challenged to make landscapes rooted in their own sense of place, relationships with the land, and history. The exhibitions that served as their inspirations dealt with a variety of subjects, including documentary photographs of bridges along the Mississippi River, Acadian brown cotton fields in Louisiana, and abandoned Freedman’s communities from the South to Oklahoma, as well as conceptual art in the form of seeds and recreations of historical medicines used by enslaved Aican Americans.<\/p>\n
Each student landscape on view is diminutive in size but meant to show the breadth of artists’ minds and experiences. The orientation of each work of art was also intended to be horizontal, or \u201clandscape,\u201d to reference the land and proportions normally associated with landscape paintings, photography, and the like. Students\u2019 names can be found attached to each work of art.<\/p>\n
