Selected Projects 20<strong>16</strong>-<strong>18</strong><br />

I am a senior Fine Arts major in the Department<br />

of Art and Design. I also mi<strong>no</strong>r in Art History in<br />

the Department of Art Education, Art History, and<br />

Media Studies. The goal my OUR-funded project<br />

was to highlight African-American student life on<br />

campus. I used the fund to do research, purchase<br />

painting materials, and organize a solo exhibition<br />

featuring portraits of African-American students on<br />

campus. Every portrait is accompanied by a short<br />

narrative, describing the thoughts of the student<br />

models I chose to paint. My project was supported<br />

by Professors Pamela Karimi (Art History) and Bryan<br />

McFarlane (Painting) and I am extremely grateful to<br />

both of them for their guidance.<br />

Erick Maldonado presents his thoughts on art and issues of<br />
