\"AustinClarksville, TN<\/strong> – For young artists, the grueling hours spent toiling away to create a new, original piece of artwork may actually be the easiest part of their chosen vocation. Getting someone to see and appreciate what they\u2019ve made is the truly difficult task. That\u2019s why Austin Peay State University adjunct art professor Mike Mitchell has added a professional practice component to the introductory sculpture class he now teaches on campus.<\/p>\n

The students in that class, for their final project, are required to develop a viable exhibition of their work. That exhibit, \u201cThird Dimension,\u201d will be a unique fusion of art and music, which runs from 11:00am to 12:30pm on May 4th, in the APSU Trahern Building\u2019s Room 104. The show, which is free and open to the public, will feature works by students in Mitchell\u2019s class and a performance by Nashville musician Evan P. Donohue.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re doing the logistics, the nuts and bolts, the boring stuff of the event,\u201d Mitchell said. \u201cSometimes, the nuts and bolts can be overwhelming, but it helps legitimize your events.\u201d<\/p>\n

The students spent the semester brainstorming on what they could do to draw in people to their exhibit. Mitchell suggested they pool their resources with another artist as a means of bringing people to the show and cross promoting each other. That\u2019s how they ended up inviting Donohue to perform.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe talked about how to use music to push your event and how your event can be used to push another artist,\u201d Mitchell said. \u201cBy bringing Donohue up here, we\u2019re broadening his audience.\u201d<\/p>\n

The students also wanted to make the event easy for people outside of the APSU campus to attend, so they sent invitations with parking passes for the lots around the Trahern building.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s great,\u201d Chiann Thomas, a freshman, said. \u201cWe\u2019re not only learning, we\u2019re applying what we learn. We\u2019re taking it to the next step from just being students to being professionals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her classmate, junior Jennifer Kelley, was at first surprised by all the logistical components required of her in an introductory sculpture class. But after thinking about what she\u2019ll do when she graduates from APSU, she bought into the process.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe knowledge of putting together your own show is something most people don\u2019t learn until their much later years,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The \u201cThird Dimension\u201d exhibit is a one-day only event. For more information on the show or the class, visit the class\u2019 blog, www.cubeddesign.blogspot.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
