Tom Madison - Lecture - Mural in Saudi Arabia - May 27




Tom Madison, a faculty member of the Art and Applied Design Department, travelled to Saudi Arabia Winter term and performed 10,000 square feet of murals on a private marina and aquarium located on the Red Sea coast. The murals depicted marine life from places the client had travelled and explored in an effort to do research for an ocean conservation foundation that the client founded.

Madison will be giving a lecture on the design and execution of the murals, complete with digital images and video, including video footage of the site being hit by a sandstorm. The project was faced with many unique challenges and employed digital technology that aided in the design and execution of such a large canvas.

The lecture is on Tuesday, May 27th at 3PM in the main gallery of the Art and Applied Design building (Building 11) on the main campus of Lane Community College. Contact: Art and Applied Design office. 463-5409.
