Rose
Street Gallery
Friday,
December 7th, 6-8 pm
78 Rose
Street, the Old North End, Burlington, VT
Projects of 8, is a collection of work
created in the capstone class for Visual Art majors at CCV. Each student
was given the challenge of developing a body of work based on a theme of their
choice, and in their preferred medium. The result is an eclectic and
highly engaging exhibit of high quality work in a range of media.
Artists will be in attendance for the opening night.
Artists:
Jessica
Adcock ~ Mixed media on canvas
I search for beauty & truth in all things and seek ways
in which I can incorporate them into my work, as I am constantly inspired by
the world around me. Like my life, my work continues to grow and
unfold, a process of which I will never grow tired.
Mary
Arnold ~ Ceramics
My work uses both dry humor and
kitch to examine the relationship between man and beast. The sculptures
are intended not only to highlight the aspects of this relationship, but also
to encourage the viewer to realize their own thoughts, opinions and views on
the matter.
Grace
Byrne ~ Acrylic & Fabric on Canvas
My paintings deal with addiction. They are a part of
my recovery process and a safe place for me to be vulnerable. I make my
art to express thoughts, situations and events that I have experienced.
Randi-Lynn
Crowther ~ Acrylic & Pastel on Canvas
Due to the overwhelming increase in human population, the
environment in which we live is rapidly changing. My work explores these
effects on our landscape with the use of acrylic and pastel mediums.
Jaime
Jimenez ~ Mixed Media
Jaime Jimenez is a Hispanic
illustrator that is attempting to tell a story through his own
interpretation of a traditional cultural art form. His paintings mirror the
bright, colorful natural environment that was his father's land.
Kasey
Loyer ~ Watercolor
This body of work was inspired
by the simplicity of nature and the connection each of us has to the earth. I
used watercolors to show the free flowing lines and organic shapes found in
nature.
Amber
Rizzo ~ Mixed Media
The idea of something bigger than myself, bigger than all of
us, bigger than Earth is what consumed this work. By making this work, I
hoped to create connections between the smaller intimate parts of myself and
the much larger infinite universe.
Carter
Shappy ~ Oil on Canvas
My series of paintings are
somewhat tongue and cheek. Taking a cue from renaissance paintings I used
classical poses and skin tones, and then threw a playful curve ball into the
mix with retro high-contrast and very controlled backgrounds. I'm forcing the
viewer to see these figures through my lens, a sort of filter.
ART-2170-VU01
Portfolio Development:
This is a
class offered at the Winooski campus of CCV every fall and online in the
fall. Throughout the semester students develop a portfolio of visual art
work to be used for a variety of purposes such as college admissions, transfer
to four-year art programs, gallery and exhibition submissions, scholarship
opportunities, and professional job applications in visual art fields. Students
explore career opportunities in the visual arts, think critically about their
own and fellow students' work, and develop professional artist statements.
Along with a challenging studio practice, the course is further enriched, by
engaging with the local art community by way of field trips and guest
speakers. By the end of the semester students have created a professional
artist resume, learned to properly document all of their work for future
applications and how to use basic electronic media to promote their work.
This semester they have the added bonus of an exhibit to add to their
blossoming resume.
Hours: The exhibit will be at Rose Street Gallery the whole month of
December 2012 and after the opening on Friday, December 7th, 6-8 pm,
can be viewed by appointment.
Admission: free of charge
