Inspired by contemporary artists, art education can be a transformative experience.

The ODU Art Education Program is hosting classes written by ODU Art Education Students to educate students and the public on the power of transformation through art.  Students will be encouraged to make meaningful connections to contemporary artists and through creative art studio experiences, gain understanding of how artists today can express ideas and personal points of view through the big idea of “Transformation”.

Mr. Gregory Warmack, also known as “Mr. Imagination” is a contemporary, visionary, self-taught artist whose work is an important part of “Collective Wisdom” at the Baron and Ellin Gordon Art Galleries at Old Dominion University.

Mr. Imagination currently resides in Atlanta Georgia and creates art with metaphor, meaning and wisdom.  He uses recycled materials to create original works of art that are personal, whimsical and powerful.

In addition to the free lecture on campus, the ODU students will work earlier in the week in the public schools as part of their ongoing service-learning. ODU students will work with fourth and fifth graders at the Willard Model School; Norfolk Public School.  The workshops with visiting artist Mr. Gregory Warmack will be linked to Virginia SOLs and based on the concepts of community identity and transformations.

An exhibition of work from the workshops will be hosted by ODU Art Education students at Waterside on the second floor at Bridge Deck across from Mayer Fine Art.  An opening celebration is set for Monday, October 25^th from 4:00-6:00pm; all are welcome to attend this free event.
