*Homepage Art by Professor Laura Kina
Outgoing Honors Program Director Martha Martinez commissioned Art, Media & Design Professor Laura Kina to create a piece of art for the Honors Program office. The painting, entitled, The Long Hall, is featured below. Here are Professor Kina’s thoughts on her work:
​
“The Long Hall features the last group of students I saw in person on March 11, 2020 just before DePaul closed the campus due to COVID-19. Set in the 3rd floor hallway of the Arts & Letters building on DePaul’s Lincoln Park Campus, the painting features Honors students Claire Heflin, Caroline Yu, Paul Roach, Tuyet Anh Le, and Claire Newby who had just finished working on a final group project for my Winter 2020 HON 301 Mixed Race Art and Identity course. When I took the goodbye photo this painting is based on, I had no way of knowing what was to unfold in the weeks and months that followed and just how long this haul was going to be.”
Please make sure you stop by to see her work when the Honors Program moves to its new quarters in Arts & Letters Hall.
