Brit Lewis Uninhibited: Uninhibited by Sterling College senior Brittney Lewis of Salina will be on display as part of the senior show Rebellion

Three senior art students at Sterling College are finishing the details of their senior show, “Rebellion,” which will open with a reception from 5-7 p.m. on Dec. 1. Brittney Lewis, Sean Winn and Chase Wolff will display their work, which includes painting, photography and mixed media pieces, in the Sterling College Art and Media Center gallery until Dec. 14.
“The work for our seniors this semester is really diverse. They have pushed through the semester to produce unique and interesting works, and they should be pleased with what they have created. I am excited to see these three artists approach their work from a fine-art perspective,” said Daniel Swartz, assistant professor of art and design.
Lewis of Salina will display digital photographs in her body of work “Lucid Pique.” Lewis said her series “is based on the Rorschach test. The artwork is purposefully not easily seen overall to create interest as well as confusion. The series was great to work with; it was a fun and innovative way to lead the audience to think differently.”
Lewis is an art and design: graphic design and photography major.
“Life House” consists of paintings by Winn of Corona, Calif. Winn said the large format oil and acrylic pieces represent “the struggle of being lost in life and seeking God to pave the way for what comes next in our future.”
Winn is an art and design: graphic design major.
Wolff’s work, “Captivity,” will showcase photography and mixed media. “We are held captive by the thing we cover up about ourselves,” said Wolff. Embodying the heart of his work, Wolff’s pieces explore a new application of the photographic medium for him.
Wolff of Augusta is majoring in art and design: graphic design and photography with a minor in business.

Have You Seen This? Giant 1,000 lb. bear is made of nightmare juice

NIGHTMARE LAND Many of you know that I am not a big fan of bears. I know you think they're adorable, but I promise you won't think they're so cuddly and cute when they dismember you for kicks and then use your bones as toothpicks to get your Abercrombie shirt out of their teeth.

Sorry to get graphic, I'm just very passionate about this subject and the fact that we need to prepare for the Bearpocalypse. Bears hope to be our four-legged overlords and considering their brute strength, speed, all-terrain bodies and growing intelligence, it's going to be tough to stop Bearmageddon.

I had hope that we humans were still in control of our own destiny, but then I found this video that is straight out of a nightmare and now I fear for our kind.

This video is a year old and was taken in Alaska, the scariest place on earth due to the bear to human ratio. They call this bear 747 because he's the size of a passenger jet and if he decides to crash with you aboard there will be no survivors.

I know you're thinking 747 is a big cuddly mammal and when he scratches his back on that tree your eyes get all starry and your mouth starts making that, "ahhh" shape. Resist it. Fight it. Survive. 747 is using the tree to limber up to make sure he is poised and ready to take you down if you get a little too close.

Apparently, it's possible to take a bear tour to see 747 and others like him, and you can if that's your prerogative. People like to do stuff like that. Some people also like to hunt ghosts and perform seances because who doesn't want to live in an actual nightmare?

Please stay away from 747 and prepare yourself for the Bearpocalypse.
