Student Artists Interpret AIC's Motto: Post tenebras lux - After darkness, light

Students from Cultivating Creativity and Digital Photography 1 and 2 created artworks related to aspects of AIC's mission, vision and motto. Students also read Dr. Martin Luther King Junior's speech "I Have a Dream" and then created art based on the imagery Dr. King painted with his powerful words.

We will have an opening celebration of this Freedom of Expression art show in the West Wing Gallery of the Karen Sprague Cultural Arts Center, April 25th, 2019 from 11:00 am to Noon. Refreshments will be served. You are invited to join us!



Ed Ryan created a mini black box theater to portray After darkness, light.  Raising the scrim reveals his painting inside the box.

Though we may have experienced dark times in our educational, personal, and professional lives, there is always a source of light. Those experiences help prepare us for personal fulfillment, professional achievement and civic engagement through educational experiences that transform lives.

This triptych combines three images. With each image, Victoria represented After darkness, light.  Looking from left to right, the overall piece becomes progressively lighter, thus enhancing the concept.  Click on image to enlarge it.

This photo represents the light in my life. In this house I do my bible study. I am able to learn not just about the bible, but myself as well. After a period of darkness, this house became my light.
