Spirit illuminate the intangible, view the invisible
Spirit is a juried art exhibit inspired by the themes of transcendence, fullness, and connection. Artists are encouraged to explore these themes from any perspective (i.e. Spirit is not a Christian art show). Honesty is essential to any art worth producing in any medium and we desire to maintain an atmosphere where artists feel free to create honestly. Therefore, honesty dictates we should share our motives for, and beliefs about Spirit.

Art Education Professor Patty Edwards Recognized for Community Service
Old Dominion University professor Patty Edwards receives honor for community service from Thaler McCormick, Executive Director of ForKids, inc.
Ms. Patty Edwards, art lecturer at Old Dominion University’s Virginia Beach Higher Education Center, was recognized on March 20th at the ForKids 8th Annual Art Auction held at the Half Moone Cruise and Celebration Center in Norfolk. The annual art auction supports critical programs and services to end the cycle of homelessness. Included for auction were works of art by ODU faculty Richard Nickel and John Roth.
Ms. Edwards, MFA, initiated and grew the art education partnership with ForKids, inc. where ODU art education students (ARTE 305) researched and implemented quality art lessons aligned to the Virginia Standards of Learning. Edwards extended the program to the Chrysler Museum of Art in the fall of 2008 to allow ODU students to research and teach within the museum framework.

Art education students celebrate Dr. Seuss’ birthday with the community at the Baron and Ellin Gordon Art Gallery
ODU Art Education students in coordination with The ODU Bookstore (under the supervision of Art Education professors Patty Edwards and Richard Nickel) led a tour of the Ellin and Baron Gordon Self-Taught Collection Exhibition, Uncommon Power: The Eye of the Self-Taught Artist
on Feb 28, 2009.
Taking a cue from Dr. Seuss’ book Green Eggs and Ham, Art Education students chose specific paintings and sculptures from the Gordon Collection to tell stories about the complex relationships between people and animals. Through the ages artists have used animals in visual art and literature to try to explain aspects of our own human nature. The students researched the biographies of three artists from the exhibition and how they represented this complex relationship of animals and people in their paintings and sculptures. They were asked to create a tour of the work for Dr. Seuss day.
Students discovered that the relationship between animals and humans portrayed in the artwork is varied and complex. To some artists animals represent beasts of burden. Some are family pets. Some animal images in the artwork represented a personal identity for the artist. For some artists the animal imagery involved complex religious or psychological symbols.
Art Education students Sumi Kim and Jennifer Rodriguez led tours for over 150 parents and children from 11:00-1:00. Birthday Cake was provided by Professor Patty Edwards to celebrate the birthday of Dr. Seuss. The Cat in the Hat even showed up and enjoyed the artwork.

Clay & Context looks to draw new attention to clay as material with fresh significance in contemporary studio practices, while acknowledging the historical foundation from which it evolved.
