Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse offers ‘a bit of nostalgia and fun’
Lipscomb’s School of Fine and Performing Arts is presenting the children show, Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse this semester. The show opened on Thursday and runs through Saturday, September 28. The show is based on the children’s books by Kevin Henkes. The show features a mouse named Lilly who loves everything about school. Chester and Wilson are best friends and say they are two peas in a pod, but Lilly soon comes to town and eventually becomes best-friends with Chester and Wilson. We talked with actress, Emma Harvey who is playing Chester in the show to find out some more details. The show is made for a younger audience. “It’s really good for ages five to 10.” Harvey said, “Adults love in too though. There are some really specific parts of the show that are geared towards adults, and that children just won’t get. For college students, it’s really nostalgic because we grew up reading the books.” Tickets for the show can be purchased here for the remaining two shows Septemeber 27 and 28. Harvey says, “You should definitely come see this show for a little bit of nostalgia and fun.” Gallery by Madison Sharpe. DSC9178 Aperture: 4Camera: ILCE-7RM3Iso: 1600 « ‹ 1 of 21 ›...

Kelli Anderson talks paper art and ‘ Lo-fi Magic’
What can paper do? If you ask acclaimed artist, Kelli Anderson, she would say “the possibilities are endless.” On Monday, September 9th, Anderson visited Lipscomb University to talk about her work as a paper engineer. During her career as an artist, she has worked with institutions such as the MoMa, NPR and The New Yorker. Paper as a medium has become a unique focal point in her work because she loves exploring the complexities of a very mundane object. Anderson spoke on how fascinating it is that something like a math equation can be so challenging when written on paper, but you can begin to understand the complexities of the once impossible problem by folding and changing the shape of the paper. Anderson has taken paper and molded and shaped it into a camera, a planetarium, an instrument, and a speaker. You can find these in her two interactive pop-up books titled, This Book is a Camera and This Book is a Planetarium. Throughout her notable career, she has taken art to a whole new dimension. Her love for paper, graphic design, and animation have turned her into a household name among artists everywhere. Anderson’s mantra throughout her creative career has been, “why are lo-fi things so appealing to us in a world full of modern technology?” Why is there a love for paper and pop-up books in a seemingly, only digital age? Anderson’s answer is simple, “There is this beautiful relationship between working with one’s hands and something that is only 2-D or digital plane.” Since kindergarten, we are taught to work with our hands and solve problems hands-on, but...
New Exhibit ‘Animators After Dark’ features local legends art work
A new exhibit in Lipscomb’s Hutchenson gallery was announced this past week to kick off the fall season. The new exhibit titled, “Animators After Dark” features a more dramatic side of the industry experts with works from Tom Bancroft, Tim Hodge, John Pomeroy, and Scott Sava. These local legends have created some of your favorite films and shows including Veggie Tales, The Lion King, Tom & Jerry, and more. But when the animating ends, these artists go home “after dark” to create their own work. This allows them to express themselves in other mediums without the pressure of deadlines or storyboarding. “This exhibition showcases what Bancroft, Hodge, Pomeroy, and Sava create in their free moments of artistic exploration. With some of the pieces, you will be able to see a clear parallel to the work that these artists create in their “day job”. For example, Bancroft’s pieces still feature his famous Disney characters and Sava’s pieces feature vibrant illustrations of pop culture characters. But, some of the pieces are a stark contrast to the artists’ animation work,” said Mia Jaye Thomas, program coordinator for the Hutcheson Art Gallery. While serving as adjunct professors in the animation department, the four professionals featured in the gallery have helped shape the next generation of students at Lipscomb. Through this gallery, the animators hope to showcase the side projects that they work on when they want to explore their own stories. Ultimately, the illustrations, paintings, and sketches are also a chance to inspire their students to create. “We hope that students and faculty come to see this exhibition (and all of our exhibitions)...
Lipscomb alum Briston Maroney plays Live on the Green 615 Stage
Lipscomb alum Briston Maroney took the 615 stage to begin Live on the Green’s first-ever 4-day weekend festival Thursday night. Maroney was a music major at Lipscomb and has since gone on to tour and play his “rock” music. This night was the first August show with dual stages. Maroney played on the 615 stage, while there was also a main stage. Despite the fact Maroney was on the smaller of the two stages, he certainly was not lacking a crowd. The street in front of the stage was lined with people of all ages. While Maroney played the 615 stage, another Nashville native Morgxn played the main stage. Morgxn showcased his new song titled, “A New Way,” with crowd-pleasing lyrics advocating acceptance of “different” people. The free live music continues until Sunday evening with several other local artists performing....
Bisons men’s soccer opens conference play with win against Jacksonville
Saturday night, in the ASUN men’s soccer conference opener, the Bisons picked up their first home win of the season against the Jacksonville University Dolphins 1-0. The Bisons controlled the possession early and had several chances to put the ball in the net but were unable to convert these attempts. Finally, in the 34th minute, freshman midfielder Ruben Pedersen scored off an assist from senior midfielder John Wynia, putting the Bisons ahead 1-0. Entering the second half, Lipscomb seemed to continue to hold the edge in possession, until six minutes into the half, when starting goalkeeper freshman Michael Sibley was assessed a red card and was ejected from the game, leaving the Bisons with one man down and their backup keeper, freshman Alex Brown, in goal. But the Bisons were able to adjust and respond to this personnel advantage fielded by the Dolphins. “I thought that we did a good job of limiting their chances, protecting critical areas and making them play negative,” Coach Charles Morrow commented. “It [playing one man down] takes a lot of effort and a lot of work. Their willingness to put that work in is definitely something we can build off of for the rest of the season.” Brown’s strong play in goal was a huge contributor to Lipscomb being able to maintain their lead throughout the second half. “It’s a tough situation for Alex [Brown] to come in not expecting to play tonight and without getting a feel of the game, and he had to respond immediately,” Morrow added. “I think right off the bat [eight seconds after he entered the game] he...

Women’s soccer team falls thanks to penalty kick
The women’s soccer team was defeated by the Cincinnati Bearcats, 3-2 on Thursday night at the Lipscomb Soccer Complex, thanks to what would become a game-winning penalty kick. Cincinnati came into the game only having won one game this season; while the Bisons came in having won four of their last five games. The game started off with a goal by Bearcat forward, Han Tang, scored in the first three minutes of the game. The Bisons didn’t go away though; Lipscomb scored two unanswered goals before the first half was over. The first goal came off an assist by Bisons midfielder, Cami Rogers and scored by forward, Olivia Doak. The second goal came from an assist from almost midfield and again came from Rogers but this time to midfielder Kaitlin Echols who buried the shot. The second half was a different story for the Bisons. The Bearcats came out firing on all cylinders and scored the first goal of the half to tie it up. “It rattled us a little bit; it made it hard to answer at times,” Lipscomb coach Kevin O’Brien said about the way the Bearcats came out in the second half. After Cincinnati tied it up, they just kept pushing and eventually scored on a penalty kick thanks to a handball penalty. The penalty kick goal was scored by Tang, her second goal of the game. The penalty kick goal ended up being the game-winning goal for the Bearcats. The Bearcats outshot the Bisons in the second half, 12-4. “You got to give credit to Cincinnati, they were physical, tough, and in your face,” O’Brien...
Lipscomb Academy beats long-time rivals Goodpasture 63-21 in homecoming game
Homecoming weekend welcomed alumni, friends, family, platinum recording artists and longtime rivals to the Lipscomb Academy football complex. On Friday night as the Mustangs beat the Goodpasture Cougars 63-21 in the 51st series matchup, taking the 26-25 all-time series lead. Before the Mustangs took the field, the crowds gathered at the baseball field to hear Jerrod Niemann perform in the pregame Mustang Stampede concert. His set included his platinum hit “Lover, Lover” and a gold single “What Do You Want.” As the concert concluded, alumni gathered next to the stands to welcome the team onto the field as they battled for the Martin-McCadams Cup in this cross-town rivalry. The Mustangs took the field ready to play, as they lined up for the opening kickoff before the Cougars even took the field. The Cougars drew first blood, scoring off of a 66-yard reception by senior WR David Harris, giving Goodpasture a 7-0 lead. Trent Dilfer’s squad was quick to respond, with a perfectly executed quarterback sneak by sophomore QB Luther Richesson to even the score at seven. Much of the first half was back and forth between the two teams as the score would level at 7 and then again at 14. The Mustangs were finally able to gain some separation from the Cougars off of two quick scores from sophomore RB Jaden Lyles and senior WR Kyle McNamara, giving them a 28-14 lead going into halftime. Going into the second half, Goodpasture forced a turnover and cut the lead to a one-score game, but the Mustangs responded with a McNamara touchdown, and the Cougars never got close again.
