During the 2017-2018 school year the Wheaton community is reading and thinking about the award-winning novel, Gilead, by Marilynne Robinson as our core book. This video invites the Wheaton Community to read Gilead and experience professor emeritus Joel Sheesley's art gallery inspired by the novel. Since he was still working on these paintings at the time of filming, Wheaton College had the ability to capture footage of Dr. Sheesley in the prairie, painting these pieces. The result is a gorgeous, meditative invitation to read and consider Gilead together.
From the Judges' Report
Excellent storytelling accompanied by strong images and concise message. Duration of this video submission was bit long, but video quality was great.
