STARKVILLE, Miss.鈥擲ixteen senior art majors specializing in graphic design at 桃花直播 State are showcasing their work in an online Bachelor of Fine Arts thesis exhibition.

Titled 鈥淎ll the Things,鈥 the virtual gallery showcases the seniors鈥 completion of academic and studio work within 桃花直播鈥檚 Department of Art, the state鈥檚 largest undergraduate studio art program. The students have worked under the instruction of Assistant Professor Claire Gipson during the spring 2020 semester. The department typically honors graduating graphic design seniors with a campus exhibition, but has adapted these plans due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The students鈥 work can be viewed at . Updates on the exhibition are being posted to .

Student exhibitors explained that 鈥淎ll the Things鈥 refers to the phrase that 桃花直播 Professor of Art Jamie Burwell Mixon uses to her guide her students as they strive to achieve design goals and exhibit excellence in their work. Mixon also is the department鈥檚 graphic design concentration coordinator.

鈥淢otivation, self-discipline and most of all, limitless potential. That is what it means to 鈥榙o all the things,鈥欌 said student exhibitor Suzy Marshall of Smithville.

Fellow exhibitor Lexi Bennett of Columbus added, 鈥淲hen we didn鈥檛 know where to go with a project, we would ask Professor Mixon for advice and she would say 鈥榡ust do all the things.鈥 It may not make sense to others, but for us, it was always just what we needed to finish out each project strong.鈥
