Winter Solstice
Reproduction Roman oil lamps provide a warm light for the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year. These are burning olive oil, which would have been the oil used in ancient times as well. Photos by Sara Orel (Art History).

Happy Winter Break!
Finals Week ends on Friday, December 12 with December graduation taking place on Saturday, December 13th. Congratulations to all Art Department (and Truman) graduates! Please stay in touch (art@truman.edu).
This also means that the Art Department blog will be taking a break until the week before classes start in January. However, during that time the blog will feature faculty artwork (and other images) related to winter themes so do check back often!
For now, greetings of the season to all!
