A Midsummer Night’s Dream Sculpture — Visual Tales Art Exhibit

April 2022

The Midsummer Night’s Dream Sculpture is a part of a one-of-a-kind sculpture installation that celebrates authors and their storytelling by showcasing visual interpretations of the classic tales that have both inspired and entertained for generations. My team and I created our sculpture telling the tale of the Shakespearean comedy Midsummer Night’s Dream. We utilized Adobe Creative Suite, the building arts and our expertise in color theory and painting in order to complete this 6ft work of art.
