From June 4 to 9, an art show featuring the work of art faculty member Mataumu Alisa and art teacher/service missionary, John Marshall, will be on display in the McKay Auditorium foyer.
A series of demo oil paintings were created by the two teachers to help their students understand concepts of design. To achieve this purpose, many of the paintings feature the same subject matter painted from different perspectives. Subjects include a rooster, household objects, people, and landscapes.
Alisa has been on the art faculty at BYU-Hawaii since 1997, and is a well-known mural artist. His works are found in many public buildings in Hawaii, including the Hawaii Convention Center in Honolulu. As a student at BYU-Hawaii, Alisa did volunteer work at the Polynesian Cultural Center. His first paid job at the PCC was a painted mural he completed on site for the opening of its new luau facility a number of years ago.
John Marshall is a service missionary who taught art design for many years at BYU Provo. He teaches a beginning art design class. As a service learning project last year, his class developed and executed designs for garbage cans at the Kahuku High Make a Difference Day. Although he has expertise in a variety of art genres, this show displays his first attempts with oil painting.
