Carly Hambright’s BFA exit show titled “Evocation” features various sculpture pieces that are inspired by her personal experiences from childhood onward. Her works take on a surrealistic style, by recreating dreams, nightmares, and memories, turning an innocent object into something sinister. Taking a story-telling approach that uses an open-ended narrative, her work connects to the viewer aesthetically, physically, and emotionally.  Currently on display in the UAH Union Grove Gallery through May 6th. Virtual tour available through May 28th. VIRTUAL TOUR

UAH Art students create Huntsville Panoply letter art installation

Apr 28, 2021

cropped full image of letters at panoply Did you attend Huntsville’s Panoply Festival this past weekend? If you did, you got to see local artists in action, including UAH students and alumni.  Panoply is the Southeast‘s premier arts weekend where Huntsville’s innovative spark shines through a festival of art, music, and more. After COVID-19 canceled last year’s festival, it was a special gathering of local artists.  ArtsHuntsville reached out to current students and alumni in the Department of Art, Art History, & Design to create a new addition to the festival, including large-scaled Panoply letters. The artists included Samantha Tallichet (‘21 BFA Drawing & Painting), Sylvia Cortes (‘23 BFA Drawing & Painting), and Sarah Joy Dunlap (‘20 BFA Drawing & Painting). The project was commissioned to showcase highlights of the festival, Big Spring Park, and Huntsville. You can see images on the letters that included the Saturn V Rocket, Koi fish in the Big Spring Pond, cherry blossom trees for the park, and more.  The installation included seven wooden letters, and each one is eight feet tall. The artist used a combination of outdoor house paint and acrylic paint to create the images. The letters were on display during the festival near the pond at the Huntsville Museum of Art in Big Spring Park.  Sarah Joy Dunlap enjoyed getting to participate in the annual festival again. 

I think that Panoply is a wonderful staple of Huntsville. I’ve always loved being able to see and learn about local art and meet local artists. I was able to work the UAH Art Club tent at Panoply for a couple of years, and was very happy when I was asked to join in on this project for 2021’s Panoply. Huntsville’s art scene is already fantastic and is full of potential. I look forward to watching it continue to flourish, and I hope to be a part of that flourishing!
Samantha Tallichet shares her views on the importance of this annual art festival,
“The Panoply Art Festival is an important part of the artist community in Huntsville because it is a celebration of local artists and small businesses. It allows for people living in Huntsville and surrounding areas to come together, express themselves, and explore different art forms. From a very young age, my family and I have attended the festival. Going to see all the artists and their wonderful artworks as a child served as a huge inspiration for me wanting to pursue a career in art. I have participated in the festival for several years, both having artwork on display and volunteering. It is an honor to be a part of this project and work with Arts Huntsville.” 
The gallery includes the progress of each letter and the final display. For more information on Panoply, please visit artshuntsville.org.

Older adults use social media to compensate for fewer in-person interactions, study says

Apr 27, 2021

A lack of in-person interactions is a primary driver for older people to use social media, which differs from how younger people use it to establish and maintain relationships, according to a first of its kind study of older users by a researcher at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of the University of Alabama System. ...

Everyman

Apr 20, 2021

cropped everymanposter Everyman Directed by: Karen Baker UAH Theatre’s spring production of Everyman, a medieval morality play for the ages. Set during a Mardi Gras parade, we learn some universal lessons about what’s really important in life.  The story of Everyman is in almost every culture, from the Dutch Elckerlijc to the Buddhist text Miscellaneous Agama by Genji Takahashi. Its universal theme of friendship can be seen. With Everyman specifically, the addition of good deeds (the loyal friend) required to present to God, while all his “false” friends and worldly possessions flee. In our materialistic mindset, it is a welcome reminder that our good deeds are what truly makes us happy. As a society, we can only be strong when we reach out and help those around us. With the global pandemic, I think that has been tested and placed under a microscope. The pandemic has caused individuals to confront death and assess what is truly important in the world, in our communities, and ourselves. EVERYMAN PROGRAM

Co-Op Student of the Year: Rosemary Cortelli

Apr 19, 2021

rosieinternlarge

Michael Mercier/UAH   The Co-Op Student of the Year award is presented by the Office of Career Services and recognizes an outstanding student who has excelled in their co-op rotations, in the classroom, and across campus.  Rosemary Cortelli is the winner of the 2020-2021 Co-Op Student of the year award. Rosie graduates this semester with a Bachelor of Science in Industrial and Systems Engineering and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology.  She is also a part of the JUMP program and is currently pursuing her MSE in Industrial and Systems Engineering. During her time at UAH, Rosie has worked as a UX Research and Design Intern at Northrop Grumman and as a Systems Engineering Co-Op at Dynetics since May 2019.  In addition to her work experience, Rosie has served as an Ambassador for the College of Engineering and on the Dance Marathon Team.  She is a member of the Honors College, Delta Zeta Sorority, the Society of Women Engineers and has been a part of the Student Government Association at UAH as well.  Rosie has successfully balanced her double majors, work commitments, and extracurricular activities, maintaining a nearly perfect GPA in both her undergraduate and graduate coursework. At Dynetics, Rosie works on a team of three systems engineers supporting a major technical program. In particular, Rosie supports the Model-based systems engineering effort for the program, which is a major focus for the department and the company. Rosie’s supervisor described her as a leader in their department-despite her relative overall experience to her colleagues. Rosie was also ranked as outstanding in every category of her evaluation and her supervisor had no recommendations for improvement.  Rosie said her favorite thing about her co-op has been the hands-on, real world experience in industry using and expanding upon the things I've learned in classes. "I loved that I contributed meaningful work to the programs I was put on, there was no 'busy' or filler-type work. I've gained a much better understanding of national defense programs and how my discipline contributes to them. I have a lot to attribute to my amazing mentors who made me feel welcomed, helped to introduce me to the world of industry, and still continue to guide me to be the best systems engineer I can be," Rosie said. Rosie has already been hired by Dynetics to begin working Full-Time after the completion of her undergraduate degree. She will be simultaneously pursuing a Masters in Systems Engineering and hopes to expand her knowledge and experience working in the human factors discipline of engineering programs. She encourages students pursuing experiential learning experiences to keep an updated resume, learn and practice on presenting themselves professionally to potential employers (elevator pitch, interviewing, etc.), and to network. "Being a great communicator will literally take you leaps and bounds beyond just having a good GPA," Rosie said. Congratulations Rosie!...


STUDENT BLOG: Finishing the Semester Strong

Apr 19, 2021

As the end of the semester approaches, take a look back at all the progress you have made as an individual and the progress we have made as a community. Despite going through uncertain times and a pandemic, be proud of you and your community’s achievements- no matter how big or small. Now that finals are approaching, it is important to remember to take some time for yourself, relax, and reflect on your achievements. Although finals are a stressful time of the semester, self-care is vital to success, not only academically, but personally as well. Here are some tips for relaxing and reflecting during these times.
  • Plan something you enjoy doing every day for at least 20 minutes.
    Having something to look forward to every day allows you to not only take a break from the stress of finals but also boost your overall happiness since you are doing something that is enjoyable. The activity you choose to do can be anything- from reading a chapter of your favorite book, going on a hike, or baking your favorite dessert.
  • Write a realistic to-do list for each day that consists of mini-goals for personal and academic life.
    By breaking down your bigger tasks into smaller, more manageable goals you will be able to achieve the bigger tasks with more ease. In addition, separating your lists into personal and academic goals will help you keep organized and make your tasks seem more manageable.
  • Write things you achieved this semester that you are proud of- no matter how small.
    We often forget our accomplishments because we are always moving from task to task. It is also important to remember and reflect on your recent accomplishments so that you can be proud of yourself and take this inspiration to the next chapter of your life. By scheduling time to reflect on your achievements, you will find updating your resume easier.
  • Write a list of things to look forward to this summer.
    After this semester ends, there are many opportunities this summer to relax and start new goals.  Whether you are taking summer classes, doing an internship, graduating, or working this summer, having at least a few things planned to look forward to will allow you to finish out the semester strong so that you can look forward to those summer plans.
Good luck on your final exams and congratulations to those graduating this term. For more information and tips, join us on social media!

Noah Ward’s BFA Photography exit show titled “Pensive State” features a body of work inspired by memories.

Noah Ward’s BFA Photography exit show titled “Pensive State” features a body of work inspired by memories. He searches the gray areas of documentation to connect with emotions. Subjectivity is on the edge of these meaningful photographs and you notice what is no longer ordinary. Ward describes his search,
Life is constantly going on all around us, leaving behind moments that are one of a kind.  These moments are so fragile that when they are committed to memory alone, they tend to be corrupted and warped as time goes by. My work preserves the moments that we hold on to, utilizing framing and reflections that we tend to pass off as ordinary. These pictures put you in a pensive state, forcing you to reflect on your own memories in the corners of your mind.
On view in the Salmon Library Gallery through April 9th. Virtual tour available through April 30th.  VIRTUAL TOUR

Samantha Tallichet’s “Beyond Aurora” focus on women’s beauty, strength, independence, and diversity.

The vibrant and magical drawings and paintings in Samantha Tallichet’s “Beyond Aurora” focus on women’s beauty, strength, independence, and diversity. The theme of this exhibition examines how women are portrayed in classic fairytales. Her work combines fantasy and realism elements to present a reimagined, modern twist on the way women are characterized in these stories. Tallichet uses a variety of media, including charcoal, oil, and acrylic paint. They are inspired by the illustrations and drawings that can be found in old fairytale books. The artwork in this series pushes against the old “archetype” that insists princesses need a prince. On view in the Wilson Hall Gallery through April 1st.
