(AP) — UNL’s Richards Hall houses a ceramics workshop, a fabrication space and the one-room Medici Gallery reserved for student work. Haley Heesacker, 26, saw an opportunity to provide fellow fine arts students with a temporary study space, one that lends itself to learning about the classics. Last week, she and fellow arts student Michael Johnson unveiled an exhibit that combines fine art and functionality into a potentially great study space — or Instagram post, the Lincoln Journal Star (http://bit.ly/1LMkoOk ) reported. The two members of the Sits and Giggles collective created a 3-D rendition of “Bedroom in Arles,” the broad-lined, distinctly colored painting by Vincent Van Gogh of his own sleeping quarters.
