Illustration Workshop: A look into fashion art
To kick off Fashion Week, the Department of Fashion started with an educational workshop on fashion illustration. Carrie Mills gave a hands-on presentation about the basics of fashion illustration. Each student was given a work pad to draw alongside Carrie. Posters of Joe Eula’s designs were on display as a reference for the style they are trying to learn. Carrie had the students draw from a volunteer model. She also provided other images to capture the pose and outfit. “I like how it’s encouraged for us to be loose. We focus on the general movement of the shapes and the clothes,” said Eleanor Elliott, a fashion design major. The experience…

Theatre Department’s The Giver asks hard questions of its audience
The theatre department’s first play of the semester traded spotlights for graywash as it brought Lois Lowry’s “The Giver” to life. The show ran from Sept. 11-13 in Sewell’s Black Box Theater. Unlike other theaters, the venue does not feature a lifted stage. Instead, actors with pale-powdered faces and dyed dark hair stood an arm’s reach away from the audience as they told the story of Jonas, Sameness and a world without choice. The play followed the main character, Jonas, as he’s assigned the role of Receiver of Memory in a world called the Sameness. In the Sameness, people have chosen to forget the past, in exchange for a painless…

Since its inception, the competition has expanded to more than 100 cities, including Nashville. Seeing how successful the initiative has become, Lipscomb University’s Department of Cinematic Arts has joined in and created its own form of the competition, with unique twists. The weekend of Aug. 21-23, Lipscomb film students participated in a 36-hour film challenge. Similar to the 48-hour version, students had limited time to write, shoot and edit their own short films. Students were placed in randomized groups made up…

Spring 2026 Theatre season closes with Molière’s “School for Wives”
The court of King Louis XIV took over Shamblin Theater this weekend for a production of School for Wives. Audiences who expected a traditional retelling of the playwright Molière’s comedy were in for a surprise: dancers of the Court wore matching hot pink tennis shoes, servants solved Rubick’s cubes onstage and a suitor serenaded his lover with Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance.” Director Nat McIntyre said he worked to honor Molière’s original story from 1662, but he also wanted to create an adaptation for a modern audience. One of his main changes was to add the court of Louis XIV, who was king during Molière’s time. Audiences were welcomed to the…
