ELLISVILLE –Jones College art students filled the Eula Bass Lewis Art Gallery for Nathan Mullins “Art Talk” as he shared his journey that led to his niche of sports portrait painting. The University of Southern Mississippi painting professor’s exhibit, “Play Ball” features images of Baseball’s superstars and interesting memories from Mullins youth, including images from Baseball Cards to live action images he remembers watching on TV. The recent exhibit on display on the college campus and his art talk is one avenue of showing students various forms of art. Also, it allows artists like Mullins the opportunity to help students explore ideas for creating art and learning about the different things that can be inspiring, like live sports action.
In April, Sophomore Art students at Jones College will have their work on display for the last art show in the Eula Bass Lewis Art Gallery. The Annual Sophomore Art Exhibition will be open to the public beginning on Monday, April 7, through May 2.
