I encourage you to also visit the students’ individual websites that complement this virtual exhibition. The goal of the Department of Art and Art History is to provide instruction in and experience with the visual arts in the context of the liberal arts. Left to their own problem-solving skills, they created a remarkable variety of works of which this exhibition can only present a glimpse. Whether they go on to pursue careers as artists or teachers, or take other paths, the combination of hands-on technical skills in a variety of media and critical and conceptual skills. Varied in ideas, media and expression, they are pointed snapshots into the lives of young student artists that were upended when – in light of the current pandemic – studios, tools and technical support were unavailable. Our core mission is to introduce students to tools and processes of artmaking, and help them develop their own creative abilities. Says Professor Hartmut Austen, “I had the pleasure to work with a group of nineteen talented students who, over the past four months, prepared their final works for their Studio Art Minor Thesis. These courses assist students in developing a self-driven approach of personal inquiry and methodologies in their studio art practice.” We will not receive any need aid as well. Students created them in their Senior Projects course, a visual thesis project for Studio Art majors and minors. sbgal2011 My D is a HS junior but I understand your struggle of art or non-art school. Professor Alston Conley notes, “The students’ artworks are snapshots of creativity into their lives, and are the result of their problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and perseverance. This year’s Senior Art Exhibit – representing four years of students’ dedicated study of the visual arts – is now a virtual exhibit. ![]()
