The Lamar Dodd School of Art has welcomed an exciting new cohort of graduate students this fall in studio art, art history, and art education. A few select students participated in a takeover on the school's Instagram account last week to introduce themselves and share background on their practice and research.
Dedicated South Carolina educator Andrea Elliott commuted regularly to the Lamar Dodd School of Art from Spartanburg for the first few years of her doctoral studies in art education. The onset of the pandemic in 2020 prompted a shift to completing her degree virtually.
In commemoration and recognition of Juneteenth, the School of Art is revisiting the Linnentown Quilt Project, "spearheaded in spring 2021 by University of Georgia art education graduate students Meghan Holcomb, Sarah Livant, and Gabriella Victorio to spread awareness about Linnentown".
