Why: Because our art department is awesome
This year our entire art department has decided to put on a small art show to expose and show off the students' work this year. The photography, metals and jewelry, ceramics and art, as well as GAMS art. This art show is specifically geared towards advanced art students such as photo two students and advanced ceramics. The students were allowed to enter one art piece of their choosing.
I really enjoyed the art show this year. It made me happy to see how students put so much time and effort into creating something beautiful. I was a little sad that the physical clay projects were not displayed, but instead photos of them. But it makes sense, most students are destructive and no one wants their art destroyed. I especially liked the Animal Bust of an angler fish by Zach Vanderhoff. The clothing gave off a punk vibe that the artist hoped to achieve and I really thought they did a great job.
The paintings this year were amazing! They really blew me away with how detailed they were. Most of the paintings were not for sale, but it was still amazing to see how dedicated and detailed they were. This is the same idea with the jewelry that was displayed. I was sad only two were for sale, but otherwise they did an amazing job. The rings were absolutely gorgeous and I am totally buying one next year!
The photographs this year I was really impressed with. The photo two students worked so hard this year
Overall the art show this year was absolutely amazing! I am so happy our school decided to have it and I will attend next year.
