Jalia Dillard
Jalia Dillard, from southern Virginia, is an interdisciplinary major with concentrations in Arts Administration, Marketing, and Studio art. Growing up, she loved everything creative, from making decorations, and drawing/painting, to making collages and styling clothes. For her major, she is required to create and explore a thesis question, with research or experimental element, for which she chose to explore color theory. Her question, how artists and designers incorporate the color theory in their showcases and how it conveys their message, requires her to use Studio Art and Marketing disciplines to interpret the uses and meanings of color. While Arts Administration will be used for the experimental element to which she hopes to host a fashion show which incorporates color theory in an effort to convey a message. Jalia is grateful that she was given this opportunity and she is honored to be a Millers Arts Scholar.
