American Impressionist Society holds symposium at Herron

More than 90 artists from around the country visited Herron to paint with nine master artists during a symposium November 9 through 11.

The American Impressionist Society kicked off its 2012 Symposium with an exhibition the evening before at Eckert and Ross Fine Art on Nov. 8. Symposium Chairman Paula Frizbe said one of the master artists, C.W. Mundy, who taught during the three-day event, “is from Indianapolis and helped in drawing people to this location.” Also a draw were Herron’s facilities and the city’s “many fine museums, the Eiteljorg just being one,” said Frizbe.

Art Bank’s Gray Room

welcomes Herron students as gallery managers and artists

First Fridays are a bustling scene. In late summer at the Art Bank Galleries (https://sites.google.com/site/artbankartgallery/) on Massachusetts Avenue, the crowd was getting thick in its various rooms. An artist could be heard advising out-of-state visitors that

“There’s so much to see now in Indianapolis that you can’t do all parts of town on any given gallery hop night.”

Herron artists five years running

The 2012 Borshoff Annual Gallery Show and Awards marks the fifth such event, where Borshoff, an Indianapolis-based strategic, creative communications agency, works with the Basile Center for Art, Design and Public Life to invite Herron students—in this case 21 seniors in painting and first-year M.F.A. candidates in painting and drawing—to respond through their work to a theme chosen by the agency. This year’s tantalizing theme is Homographs—The art of double meaning.

First art therapy internships signal historic step for the profession in Indiana

Herron School of Art and Design’s first art therapy graduate students will soon begin internships with a variety of community partners, said Juliet King, the director of the Art Therapy Program at Herron. “These partnerships starting in January 2013 demonstrate the breadth of value placed on art therapy as a healing tool. The importance of learning in a clinical setting can’t be overstated for how art therapy is taught at Herron.”

Your support of international study program changes lives

The Louvre. The Palace of Versailles. The Arc de Triomphe. Notre Dame. Imagine being a student at Herron School of Art and Design.

Maybe you’ve never been on a plane, but you’re about to experience the places you’ve only read about. That’s just what happened to students who participated in Herron’s International Study Program this summer.

“The study abroad trip to Paris was amazing! Walking around felt like

walking around an Edward Hopper painting because I was

surrounded by the stunning architecture enveloped with light,” shared junior Bethany Knuckles, a painting major who traveled to Paris in June. She added, “Sitting and drawing the sculptures of Edgar Degas and other artists is something I’ll never forget—each stroke of my pencil made me see the dynamism, accuracy and vitality of the work in front of me.”

Mid-Century mods reunite at Herron

After school they went different directions, scattered to the four winds, but something still binds them. A handful of advertising design alumni from the classes of ’64 and ’65—before Herron merged with Indiana University—arranged to visit Herron recently. Some came with their spouses. Some came from as far away as California. About a third of

them had never seen Herron’s new buildings. L to R, front row: Joseph Detrick, John Paul Quarterman, David C.

From The Indianapolis Star, September 16, 2012

(10)

Diane Carol Jones, 58, passed away peacefully on August 31, 2012 at her home. She was born in Indianapolis and is the beloved daughter of Edward Harrison Jones and Mary Curry Jones.

Diane was a graduate of Pike High School and Ball State University.

Although she was a person of many interests, she always had a special love of art. While studying sculpture at Herron School of Art, she designed and built a bench which is installed at the IUPUI library.

With encouragement from her dad, Diane entered the field of nursing, graduating with honors from Marian College (University) in 2005 with a RN, BSN degree. She was a Nurse Liaison with the Home Health Service for St. Francis Hospital & Health Centers.

In her free time and with a serious "green thumb" she beautified her yard with wildflowers and many interesting plants.

Diane is survived by her mother, Mary Curry Dunbar (Frank); her brothers, D. Harrison Jones (Frances) and W. Terry Jones, MD (Susan Hoffman); and a nephew, Joshua Hoffman. She greatly enjoyed time spent with her family and her many friends.
