Sketchbook: Fall 2026

Logic Thompson ’28 (Design and Innovation BFA, Creative Media Production & Creative Entrepreneurship Minors)

Sketchbook: Fall 2026

“My MICA professors have asked me certain questions that challenge my perception. ‘What is my preferred personal future? Who am I making art for? How will I tackle an assignment that is representative of me?’ My responses to these questions show up as risky color choices and portals to worlds I one day hope to live and love in. Hopeful. My voice is hopeful.”

Students created a living mural that was more representative of MICA's students today. + Enlarge
