To get a different perspective while creating this piece, I incorporated my whole body into creating it because I moved it off the wall and painted on the floor. It not only changed my perspective, but it also gave me more control, being able to extend my arms more on a larger scale,\u201d said Wilson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>糖心直播 freshman art major, Halla Lower from Laurel said she was very excited to hear from an artist with a similar style to hers and who is also an art teacher at William Carey University.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"763\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jcjc.edu\/jcnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/halla-lower-looking-at-bethanie-wilsons-work-poetry-in-chaos-cropped-small-1024x763.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jcjc.edu\/jcnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/halla-lower-looking-at-bethanie-wilsons-work-poetry-in-chaos-cropped-small-1024x763.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.jcjc.edu\/jcnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/halla-lower-looking-at-bethanie-wilsons-work-poetry-in-chaos-cropped-small-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jcjc.edu\/jcnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/halla-lower-looking-at-bethanie-wilsons-work-poetry-in-chaos-cropped-small-768x573.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jcjc.edu\/jcnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/halla-lower-looking-at-bethanie-wilsons-work-poetry-in-chaos-cropped-small-1536x1145.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.jcjc.edu\/jcnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/halla-lower-looking-at-bethanie-wilsons-work-poetry-in-chaos-cropped-small.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been trying to dive into abstract and this was really a good experience to hear from Ms. Wilson. Being able to look at her art and how it changed my mood, is really life changing,\u201d shared Lower. \u201cI gravitated to this one, \u2018Poetry in Chaos\u2019 because I really liked the color scheme she stuck with, and it still works all together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lower said she\u2019s interested in digital art like Wilson, who explained how being a graphic artist influenced her oil painting and helped her work on a larger scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about upcoming JC art shows or to arrange a visit to the gallery call 601-477-8401.
