Myleka Bevans

February 24, 2021 02:53 AM
"I’ve never liked any other subject except art. I’ve always been obsessed with using my hands and making things," said Myleka Bevans. "As a child, I drew and read constantly. I wanted to be an illustrator. In high school, I knew that nothing would ever make me as happy as art would. It was my strongest and most defined talent. I was lucky to have many invested mentors who helped me along and encouraged me."

"My art is important to me because it's a reflection of who I am, what my thoughts and feelings and passions are, and my world around me. Pursuing film came about because I love writing and creating, and film is such an all-encompassing art that really influences people every single day."

Preparing Exhibitions is a Multi-Faceted Process at BYU’s Museum of Art

February 01, 2021 12:00 AM
Museums can be filled with anything from ancient statues to modern sculptures. Some even display historical documents, colorful paintings and illuminated texts. The BYU Museum of Art displays art through its semi-permanent and traveling exhibitions. Behind the art displays and interactive elements of exhibits are the museum staff — each member fulfilling unique responsibilities to aid in the acquisition and installation of art. Acquiring art Before art can be displayed at the MOA, it must first be acquired by the museum’s curators. Ashlee Whitaker, the Roy and Carol Christensen curator for religious art, has been in charge of curating a number of art pieces displayed at the museum. Whitaker’s curatorial responsibilities include searching for art to be added to the museum’s collection. “We’re always looking for acquisitions and pieces of art that will enhance our collection and mission as a university art museum,” Whitaker said. She explained that art can be acquired by the museum in many ways, from art auctions to open galleries. Read the full story written by Rebecca Nissen at universe.byu.edu.

Raegan Nelson

January 27, 2021 02:28 AM
Raegan Nelson is a Dance Education major who believes that everyone, if they are able, should dance! "I wish I could shout to the world that no matter what your background is or what you look like, you have every right to be in a classroom and better yourself as a dancer. I remember having doubt about myself as a dancer because I did not have as much training as other dancers or have a typical 'dancer body,' and I wish I would have learned much earlier to let that go. It is never too late to start!"
