Photographs for the Biology Lab Lobby Art CLA Dale Brown was asked by the Biology Department to photograph students, staff and faculty as they worked in the Biology Lab. These photographs were installed in the Biology Lab Lobby and will remain as a permanent exhibit. David Luke at Northern Spark Faculty member David Luke is working with the nonprofit Upstream Arts in Minneapolis to create 4 short animated movies. Upstream Arts provides arts programming for youth and adults with disabilities. In the course of a Upstream Arts class, participants collaboratively write a variety of poems.

The mural pays homage to Leonardo DaVinci’s The Last Supper and depicts the students who painted the mural in the place of the disciples. The students are seen with and surrounded by books to encourage reading and scholarship. The class broke up into rotating groups of three to five students. The project was one of the class assignments and took nine weeks to complete. The mural measures 14 feet in width by 9 feet in height. This “in process” photograph was taken on April 29, 2014. The painting will be completed by May 13, 2014.
