Art Exhibit

Senior Art Exhibit

Recently I went to view the senior art show. When I first walked in I thought it seemed pretty bare. There was not as many seniors in the show case as I thought there would be. The first painting I walked up to was of a giant street. It looked as if it was from a play. I was impressed because it was so big. Then I walked around and looked at different photos seniors took. Everything was pretty good but there were two exhibits that stood out the most to me. The first exhibit you walk behind a cloth and when you are inside this box like set up you instantly feel like you are in a church because of the bench, cross and red wine you have at communion. To the right of me about seven robes all painted different colors were hanging up. These robes where used in the images in front of me. In the different images a girl wore the different robes. She was posed differently each time in a cemetery. Each photo had different things in the backgrounds. All the images were very mystical. The photos ranged from sword fights to throwing fire. I didn’t really understand everything about her piece but thought it was fascinating.

The next exhibit that stood out was the Alison in Wonderland showcase. This was all about recreating Alison in Wonderland. The girl dressed up and had others help dress like the characters from the movie. Then she took stunning black and white photos of the “characters” moving around as if still frames from the movie. Then all around the photos on the wall were what looked like props from the movie or in this case from her photos she took. There was little tables with all the tea cups with the magic poison like from the movie. On the tables there were little clocks and lamps as well. Everything was in perfect place to make you feel like you were there. I thought these two were the most creative from the show. This was my first time at a college showcase and I was very impressed.
