These works are among a powerful exhibit of student paintings featuring interpretations of images from Hurricane Katrina that will be on display through Nov. 8 in the lobby of Tennessee Tech University’s Bryan Fine Arts Building. The students’ work depicts portraits of victims, cityscapes of the flooding and destruction, aerial views of the storm and interpretation of the Doppler radar tracking the storm’s progress. While some students focused on the grim sadness and darkness of the destruction resulting from the disaster, others chose to use more intense color to bring about a feeling of hope. Photo: TTU
