guess what.. yea thats right, another art event

Annual Juried Art Show The Annual Juried art show was filled with art works of many different kinds. For the most part, it was the sculptures that caught my eye. I always enjoy this exhibition because many of my friends are art majors and it is entertaining to see their artwork. Josephine, by Ashley Dura, is graphite drawing on paper. At first glance, it looked as though there were random squiggles throughout the page. But then I began to notice that three faces appeared. The two on the outside look as though they are crying. And I thought I could make out a pair of lips on the left side of the drawing. I couldn’t tell if on the middle face’s right eye if there was a smudge or if it were shading. In regards to shading, I thought that the drawing could have used more of it. Jehanna Cleason’s Visual Texture is a piece, consisted of nine blocks, made of acrylic, string, floss, and some other unknown materials. Each block is of a different color and texture. The top right painting is made of bottle caps and painted reddish with a blue background. The entire piece is filled with so much texture, which made if very pleasing to look at. Jon Verna’s sculpture Exit to the Left was very interesting. It was made of glass and earthen ware clay. The pottery, the bottom piece, is made by a wheel; it is very smooth and even. The glass piece is filled with the colors of brown, tan, black and green. You can see where the color was picked up during the blowing process. I liked the combination of the different mediums in the piece, but I still wonder about what the name of it means. One artist whose work was in the show is one whose work I really enjoy looking at, and that is Kris Hauser. His sculpture, untitled, in the show was made of cedar wood with some sort of finish, which made it shiny. What I love most about this piece is that it uses up much space in the exhibit. The first part is a stub is on the main floor. Wooden worms climb out of the trunk and begin to crawl across the room. They continue to crawl down the ramp, crossing the room. The worms then begin to crawl up another stump and they themselves become the new stump. The wooden worms left a trail of sawdust behind. I really like how the whole piece spans across the room. Ash Snow’s Relative Contamination is a collection of plastic chemical bottles painted different colors and each with insane and cartoonist faces. Dylan Clarks Age of Industry is a mix of mediums too. It is a glass casted piece, shaped like a lightening bolt. Dylan then made a steal piece in which the glass casted one fit perfectly. Dylan’s piece was pleasing to the eye and it reminded me of the art museum in Spain. The Annual Juried art show was enjoyable and filled with interesting art. It is always enjoyable to see this art show.
