US students showcase art
Upper School art students showcased first-semester works in a variety of media at the Solomon Art Gallery, the Dan Leslie Bowden Library and Dining Hall beginning Nov. 15. Through ceramic pinch pots to powder portraits to black glassware renderings, students from the school's ceramics, photography, studio art and architecture courses displayed their skills and progress.
Ceramics classes exhibited three types of projects: pinch pots made entirely by hand, items featuring ceramic textured surfaces, and clay rope coil pieces inspired by Native American vessels.The photography classes presented photos from an Everglades field trip, powder portraits and panographs. Studio art students shared white-on-black glassware renderings, oil paintings of pears and oil-on-canvas captured motion studies. Architecture exhibited the Cooper Union 1972 project of "nine-square-grid" constructs, floor plans and elevation drawings, and models of bridges over chasms.
The students worked under the direction of Visual Arts Department Chair Jose Rodriguez and arts faculty Astrid Dalins, Jorge Guzman and Matt Stock.
