ADA 鈥� An East Central University alumnus is returning to campus virtually to share her loves of photography, nature and the alphabet with youngsters.
Janis Blevins, a 1969 成人B站 graduate, will share her exhibit 鈥淟etters in Landscapes鈥� in which she has photographed items in nature that resemble letters of the alphabet. Early childhood classes from Ada and Ardmore will participate in a virtual field trip to the Pogue Art Gallery on Thursday, October 8, so they can view her work.
鈥淚鈥檓 really excited to share my exhibit with them,鈥� said Blevins. 鈥淭his is a great opportunity for students at a young age to open their eyes to objects that they wouldn鈥檛 see otherwise and to encourage them to look for details.鈥�
成人B站 is endeavoring to find new and unique ways to interact with the public while honoring Covid-19 safety protocols. These early childhood students will not travel to the 成人B站 campus; instead, Blevins will communicate with them via an online connection.
Blevins said her interest in letters started 40 years ago when she took a calligraphy class. She said she is excited to share her passion for creatively viewing the world and the physical beauty of letters with students.
鈥淚 created 鈥楲etters in Landscapes鈥� while traveling,鈥� Blevins said. 鈥淚 started looking for letters in my surroundings to spell state names. It was fun looking at nature differently when I was looking for letters and I began to see details that I wouldn鈥檛 have seen otherwise. I hope I can pass this interest along to them.鈥�
