BSU students
offer a nontraditional look at art
UNION CITY, IND – “I enjoy talking to kids,” Kelsie Selch said. “I told
them there was a dragon back there,” she added, grinning. “Really had
them going there for a while.”
Kelsie was one of several Ball State University students who spent the
weekend at the Union City Arts Festival. She and three fellow students
set up shop to demonstrate and discuss their art with festival
visitors. They were using a property on Columbia Street that is
available to businesses interested in starting up in or relocating to
Union City.
Their art would be considered by some to be nontraditional.
Kelsie works with neon tubes… “Lots of neon!” She loves being able to
draw with light sticks. “You get a clear tube, bend it and pump neon
into it. It makes them glow.” Among other things, she set up a bedding
area surrounded by her neon “sticks.”
Another student, James Schwab, is an artist interested in exploring
human sexuality. In his art he tries to show the “feelings of shame and
pleasure associated with sexual expression.”
Claire Thomas, an art major at Ball State, is the group’s Party Yoga
girl. “I would love to be able to give an art show and teach Yoga to
the public,” she said. She hopes to be able to practice some of her
skills over the Arts Festival weekend
