In a process unique to art majors and minors, Senior Seminar students recently had the first of two formal, and very public, critiques of their work at the Evergreen Art Studios. Visiting critics included Memphis artist Terry Lynn and Patricia Lee Daigle, assistant professor of art history at the University of Memphis and director of the Martha and Robert Fogelman Galleries of Contemporary Art. Rhodes art and art history faculty also joined the students for the critique.
