With the construction of new buildings around campus, many artistic opportunities to incorporate murals on campus are being explored. Professors from the art department at UNK are spearheading one effort to improve campus beauty.
Located in the new STEM building, art professor Matt Ziemke and Victoria Goro-Rapoport are designing a mural with the help of new equipment that will soon be available to UNK art students.
“This project was the inspiration for us to look into equipment that could save us some money for the project, but it was more of looking further into the future because it is exciting for students to use this machine and to see their two-dimensional projects transform into three-dimensional work,” said Matt Ziemke, professor of art and design at UNK.
