Columbia College offers annual Summer Art Workshop
By Jill Renae Hicks
Posted June 2, 2011 at 4:15 p.m.
Though many students have closed their dorm doors with a final “click” this summer, the art
department at Columbia College is merely warming up. As part of its summer art program, the
college will offer its fourth annual art workshop for high school students over two weeks in July.
The registration deadline is tomorrow, and many subjects will be offered to young artists – a few
art media offered this year are completely new for the workshop.
Each participant will select one morning and one afternoon class to take over the Mondaythrough-Friday, two-week period July 11-15 and 18-22. There will be a student exhibition in the
Larson Gallery on campus at the end of the workshop. Along with traditional art offerings like
painting and drawing, this year offers ceramics, graphic illustration and ceramics. Each class will
be taught by a local professional in his or her field of expertise. Here are the instructors for 2011:
David Spear, local murals and painting. His murals don the walls of Wabash Station, Addison’s
Grill and Sophia's, Memorial Union at University of Missouri and even the painted signbox at
the corner of Broadway and Ninth Streets.
Paula Kientzel, painting. She has her MFA from the University of Missouri and has used
vegetation and different fabrics in her paintings.
Jane Mudd, drawing and painting. Mudd is a professor at William Woods University in Fulton
who thrives on painting from reality, whether human or domestic life.
Other well-known local artists teaching in the workshop are April Karlovit, puppetry; James
Downey, bookmaking; Mike Sleadd, painting; and Bo Bedilion, ceramics, who is also the newest
faculty member of Columbia College.
The workshop is not a residential camp. Students who are interested can register here; the total
cost of all supplies, lunches, and snacks is $285. For more information, visit this link to
Columbia College Summer Art Workshop.
UPDATE: The registration deadline for the workshop has been extended until June 17.

almost every breed of horse in nearly every discipline.
He served as a supervising trainer at Cal Poly University, Pomona, in

He was the first rider to show one of the Kellogg Arabians at the U.S.

as the stable manager and graduate teaching assistant.
In 1977, he became the director of equine sciences at the University of Minnesota, Crookston. He spent
25 years working in private secondary schools and running a training horse business.
Mullen spent the past four years as associate professor and division chair of Equestrian Studies at William
Woods University, Fulton, Mo.
Since 2000, he specialized in the training of youth and amateurs with Andalusian horses, winning 39
national championships or reserves. He was named the International Andalusian Lusitano Horse
Association Professional Horseman of the Year for 2005.
Mullen is a licensed United States Equestrian Federation judge for Andalusians and Friesians.
He judged the 2009 International IALHA Nationals and the 2009 Friesian Grand Nationals. His book,
“Amazing Horse Facts and Trivia,” was recently published in 10 countries. A native Californian, he
earned his bachelor’s at Cal Poly University, his master’s degree at Colorado State University, and his
doctorate of education at Walden University (Calif.).
