Be inspired by nature and history! 🏞️ Now on display at Noble Library on the Tempe campus, check out the new "A Sense of Place: Inspired by the Boyce Thompson Arboretum" Exhibition. In 2024 the Boyce Thompson Arboretum in Superior, Arizona celebrated its 100th anniversary. This art exhibition is a reflection of the arboretum’s historical significance and unique sense of place. 🖼️ To accomplish the art exhibition, ASU School of Art students in Professor Ellen Meissinger’s "Art on Paper" course collaborated with Professor Mark Tebeau and Erin Craft from ASU Public History to learn more about the arboretum’s extensive history. Students were divided into research teams to listen to oral histories, attend lectures and visit the arboretum. The resulting series of paintings and drawings draw creative inspiration from the past while celebrating the present-day arboretum as a diverse and enduring sense of place. https://lnkd.in/geSQ3Vyn ASU School of Art, School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies at ASU
