Thursday evening we celebrated the opening of our biannual WU Illustration Gallery Show. It's a chance to show off works by our amazingly talented students in our show called "Our Illustrated World."

Works were from several (not all) illustration courses, such as Design Drawing II (a freshmen-level drawing course)...

and World Building. Setting up the show was a great learning experience in itself; although, we couldn't have done it without the help of Gallery aide, Jenna, shown blowing up one of the many balloons!

They did a great job getting everything on display - it was a lot of work - and it came together beautifully! Here was the primary signage.

One entire wall was made up of works from World Building, from the maps...

to large projections of the scenes (not shown), to landscape views, to street views

A few students created maquettes (models) to use to make their drawings more accurate.

Look at the model by Izzy Wallace...

Then see how it translated to her artwork - pretty awesome!
