Jones College sophomore earns MCCAIA Art awards
ELLISVILLE – Five Jones College sophomore art students earned recognition from the Mississippi Community College Art Instructor Association’s annual art competition and show. Carly McInnis from Mize earned first place honors in the 3D category and an Honorable Mention for her drawing entry, “Untitled.” The sophomore graphic design major said this was the first time she entered an art show.
“This is the first time I’ve ever entered anything in an art show, this is the first show! I was very shocked (to learn I won in the 3D category) because there were so many other pieces that were good. It was for the experience, even if I didn’t win anything,” said McInnis.
Her unnamed 3D art figure, her mother calls, “Squidward” was created using sand, cardboard, and mod podge. While time consuming, McInnis says it was fun creating her 3D art project.
“I have really come to love abstract art, 3D art. The project was to cover it in something that didn’t make it look like the cardboard used to create the figure. I thought sand would be cool because it would look rocky, and people would wonder how did that stay up? Mark Brown, my teacher told me to finish it and put it in the show and see what happens. I finished the weekend before entries were due.”
McInnis’s “big” goal is to work for Disney animation after graduating in May from Jones and finishing her degree at USM.
Other winners from Jones College include Bryanna Davidson of Laurel’s “Teeth” drawing which earned 3rd place. Honorable Mention accolades were bestowed to Laurel’s Aryn Cox, for her drawing, “The Backyard,” and Hattiesburg’s Rebekah Lawless’ drawing, “Untitled 2”. In the 2D art category, Heidelberg’s Quinton Chapman received an Honorable Mention for his work, “Untitled.”
Best of Show went to Southwest Mississippi Community College sophomore, Darryn Coney for his pencil drawing, “Bessie.” More than 170 pieces of art were submitted for MCCAIA’s competition and art show which was on display in the Eula Bass Lewis Art Gallery on the Jones College campus in Ellisville in March.
