Sarah Crews, art student in Patrick Mayton's Drawing II class, created these works of food art. The cake was painted in Drawing II class while the still life was a project she completed during the 2020 quarantine.
Each semester, Theatre Appreciation students are assigned to write a three- to five-minute play that adheres to Aristotle's unities of time, place, and action. Characters, conflict, and setting are randomly selected by a roll of the instructor's die. After the plays are written, students then create a marketing poster that includes a directorial concept blurb, scenic and costume designs, and casting of real actors as their lead characters. This fall, students were encouraged to creatively include food in their plays. They were advised that food did not necessarily need to be the central theme, but to find clever ways to incorporate it. These three examples exemplify their efforts.
