Miami University Regionals

Curated by Jennifer Purdum

Summer 2020

Every year, Miami University Regionals art students create a large-scale charcoal drawing dealing with the concept of identity and portraiture. Over the years, students have dealt with the issue of identity through myth, nature, and through the lens of digital technologies. This exhibition celebrates some of the best examples produced over the last 5 years. Drawings on view were created primarily using charcoal with watercolor and additional mixed media.
