Attendees also had the opportunity to enjoy food and refreshments while looking at the artwork.
"I found the art show to be an entertaining way for me to spend my Saturday afternoon. It was pleasant to see all the families come out, in support of their children's artwork," said senior Kristofer Wildermuth. "I enjoyed the painting part of it more than anything else. Caroline Corrigan's exhibit on people was entertaining to me. I have never been an artist so it is nice to see people who are actually good at art flourish in their own setting."
This time the gallery was not set up by a specific staff of students, but by the seniors themselves. With busy schedules, the senior art students set up their own section of the gallery in a short amount of time.
"I'll be honest, it was definitely a challenge. With the amount of time that must be devoted towards student teaching, it was difficult to refine my drawings to the extent to which I would have liked," Piejko said. "However, I am happy with the work I have displayed."
The show was full of interesting artwork from potential advertisements, promotional packages from graphic design students, massive three-dimensional works from sculpture students, eye-opening pictures from photography majors, and great works from painting and printmaking students. It was also a time of reflection and students recognized the support they have received.
"My mother and my father both came and brought a family friend along with them. Also, my cooperating teachers from both my elementary and high school student teaching placements came to the show. Everyone who came was impressed with the artwork and the professional atmosphere," said Piejko.
The poster and the rest of the design for the gallery were designed by senior Brenden Dalton. The unofficial title of the exhibit is 'The End of the Beginning," which takes a phrase from a quote by Winston Churchill.
For both the seniors and other art majors, the title of exhibit was apt as they look toward the future. The seniors look forward jobs, such as freelance artists, in the graphic design field or as teachers to name few.
