They then created a collage of cut paper and acrylic marker drawings, which was photographed and enlarged to twice the size to create a wall wrap that is flat, said Waterkotte, but appears three dimensional.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe cut-out colored paper process provided a unique visual language that the class could share and collaborate on. The cut-outs also provided distinct forms, layers, and shadows that could translate well when photographed and enlarged.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Whitaker said that \u201cIntercoalescence\u201d serves as a compelling metaphor for the academic programs and research of Interdisciplinary Studies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith its combination of colors and elements in different layers, the mural that the students subsequently created does a great job representing the energy, imagination, and even tension that can characterize interdisciplinary collaboration.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Godlewska and Waterkotte have taught the mixed-media class since Fall 2016, and the work of their students can be seen across campus, from Atkins Library to the Colvard breezeway. Waterkotte says the Fretwell mural won\u2019t be their last.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe actually have a bit of a waiting list.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cws.charlotte.edu\/backup-coaa\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/807\/2024\/06\/IMG_2258.jpg\" alt=\"mural in Fretwell\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1800\/1350;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIntercoalescence\u201d was designed and created by students in the Fall 2023 Mixed-Media class in the Department of Art &amp; Art History: Callie Barber, Rachel Barger, Nicole Beltrami, Hirmani Brown, Heather Chan, Hypnos Chhabra, Ellen Doss, Lysa Fakir, Caden Glende, Hannah Grubb, Kelly McNeely, Samaria Pickenpack, Skyler Vink, and Caroline Wingerd.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new mural on the third floor of Fretwell is the latest project by students in the mixed-media studio taught by painting professor Maja Godlewska and printmaking professor Erik Waterkotte.
