Senior artist presentations and exhibit
Friday, April 12, 6 p.m.
Gallery Theater, Samek Art Museum
Seniors and other artists
Five seniors gave quick presentations on their artwork in 10-15 minute periods. They talked about their pieces across their college career, their inspirations and then their final pieces. Afterwards, in the museum the students’ art pieces, along with other artists’ pieces, were on display.
The students each had their own approach to art and their own journey to reach where they are today in skill and achievement. I could tell they were excited to show their work and entertain us with their experience. They were well prepared and the art was very inventive, unique and authentic. In the museum, there pieces were masterly exhibited and were even more impressive in person than on the presentations.
The fact that students who are the same age as I am could create such incredible pieces of art was impressive. Their poise while telling the audience about their creations and art experiences was inspiring. In the museum, the pieces were on a whole new level of artistic ability. In all honesty, I was a bit jealous and wanted to try and catch up to their level of mastery.
This double event was an easy 9. The students were great, in both artistic talent and presentation, the other artists were okay too, Dan’s work is interesting, and the food was incredible.
