Poetry & Pros
Animation as Art
Now through April 4
Animation faculty Craig Kelly and Randy
Gossman has scored big time with their exhibition
in the Mark K. Wheeler Gallery. They
want you to think and enjoy and debate
about how such a commercial medium can
be made for art’s sake.
“It has been stated that animation was not
necessarily ‘not’ art but could never be ‘fine
art’,” says Randy. “How does one crate an
animation that does not serve as utility or
common practice, that engages the audience’s
sensibilities and makes the viewer
think about greater things?
“In hopes of establishing our argument, this
show couples pieces that are abstract, conceptual
and poetic with that which are commercial,
concrete and narrative,” continues
Craig and Randy.

Getting Back to Nature
On Thursday, March 5, AiFL instructor Nancy
Doyle, along with Fashion Design student
and Seminole Native American Judy Jones,
presented “Legacies of the Kissimmee Prairie
and Seminole Tribe.” This presentation of
the free Lecture Luncheon Series included a
delicious menu from Culinary and a fascinating
film and talk about an area in Florida not
many know about.
After Nancy’s film, Judy talked and answered
questions and showed the audience several
original objects of art including a handmade
doll, a colorful woven basket. The Kissimmee
Prairie is one of Florida’s largest state
preserves offering observations of wildlife,
hiking/backpacking, biking, and horseback
riding.

state park, contact Kissimmee Prairie
