Professor Ann-Marie Manker and Professor Robert Brown teamed up to assist ILLU 205 students in creating movie poster designs with stencils and monoprinting.  Paying homage to designer Saul Bass, students constructed their designs based on silhouettes and bold shapes.  Students learned basics printmaking techniques and enjoyed the out of class experience.  A demo was held on Friday, February 15 and the class worked in the print shop during class the following Monday and Wednesday.  Thanks to Prof. Brown and all of printmaking students and lab techs who helped guide the way!

Wednesday, February 6th, The UNI Intercultural Club hosted a Lunar New Year Celebration in the Hub to highlight all of the countries that celebrate the Lunar New Year.  Professor Manker’s ILLU 205 course participated by creating “Year of the Snake” poster designs that were on exhibit alongside the Lunar New Year celebrations, decorations and activities.  There were student performances, a character inking workshop, home made dumplings, games, prizes and more.  Check out some of the artwork that was on display by students James Atwood, Daniel Cheng, Vivian Hansen, Khalid Roseman, Kellisy Sarkisian, Chani Stanley and Shir Wen Sun.
