Interpretting a classic

Barb Walton (standing), associate professor in art and visual culture, visits with scientific illustration and visualization junior Ava Lensch during Art 2130, Studio Fundamentals of Painting, on Tuesday at the College of Design. The students' assignment is to select a master portrait, historical or contemporary, and replicate the style while adding some of their own interpretations.

"I love how they find themselves in the process," Walton said of the assignment's path, intended to foster creativity and discovery.
