Work of printmaking classes on display in 'Flora and Fauna' art installation
Flora and Fauna , a group installation project created in Assistant Professor Marilee Salvator’s printmaking courses, is on display through June 15 at the Kentucky Museum. A reception will be held from 6 to 7:30 p.m. April 23.

This large-scale installation was created with students enrolled in Salvator’s multi-level Printmaking: Screenprinting and Printmaking: Relief classes in the Department of Art .

Salvator works in printmaking installation in her own work, creating large-scale, long-term works that have hundreds or thousands of individual elements. Two years ago, she got the idea that it would be interesting to have her classes work collaboratively and make a large group installation project. The group project has been a valuable learning opportunity for the students.

The project teaches the students the importance of working collaboratively and gives them alternative ways of looking at art display and the medium of printmaking. Working in a group makes creating a large-scale work far less intimidating and often encourages her more advanced students to go on and create their own large-scale installation.

View from The Hill
Whether it’s the pillow you sleep on or the sound your washing machine makes, there’s a good chance a WKU engineering student played a part in the research.

WKU’s Amy Bingham has more on the hands-on applied research being done at the Center for Energy Systems lab in this week’s View from the Hill .
