These drawings were created by observing dance students at the University of Utah during an ongoing project with the newly announced School of Dance, which combines the schools of ballet and modern dance. The two drawings reflect this joining by reaching toward one another, yet remaining independent and diverse. Each drawing began with a broad brush stroke of ink based on the movements of the dancers. Then, each was embellished with brightly colored ink and acrylic paint. The final images were then used in the marketing campaign to announce the newly created School of Dance.
