Avir’s samples of student art:
Picture 1:
Title: Radio Station Art
Collector’s Name: Unknown
Collection Location: IU Folklore Archives in the IU Archives in Wells Library.
Date Collected: 1990’s (?)
Genre: Music party art
Context: The picture seems to be about the radio station 95.1 WIUS at Collins dormitories. The flyer is advertising the station to students interested in popular music, trying to attract more listeners with the art.
Details: There are things in this art work that I would like to point out which were used to attract more people to read the flyer. First the text style has interesting features, the hand written aspect creates a more personal feel, and the placement of words flows nicely to the main topic of the flyer, the radio station 95.1 WIUS. `
