Description

Meyer Library and the Art and Design Department are pleased to announce "Understanding the Object: Researching and Conserving Art and Artifacts."

This educational exhibit is the culmination of the best student research from the 2015-2016 Citizenship and Service-Learning (CASL) integrated courses ART 488: Basic Conservation of Art and Artifacts of Fall 2015 and ART 386: Art of Africa of Spring 2016. Under Dr. Billie Follensbee, students researched the objects as part of their course projects. Objects studied are on loan from the Ralph Foster Museum, Drury University, Christian County Historical Society, the Mace collection, and other private collections. Access was also provided to the Union Campground Cemetery in Springfield so students could work at the site.

Special Collections and Archives is pleased to support Dr. Follensbee and her students by providing study space and conservation facilities, as well as developing the current exhibit showcasing the students’ work.
