Out of Class Art Event One

The Senior Show II
Senior projects were showcased in the Foreman Gallery beginning with the first Senior presentation on Thursday, April 17th. The second Senior Show I attended took place on May 8th and held in the gallery until May 24th. Within the Foreman Gallery there was a variety of art presented to the audience. Some of the senior artists in particular caught my eye. “Life is tough so we pull the wool over our eyes” by Jessie Lieberman. The large stuffed elephant was an eye-catching image in the Foreman Gallery for the Senior Show II. Senior Art Major, Jessie Lieberman created an elephant made of fabric, recycled paper, wood, packing material, saw dust, plastic bags, lighting, sound, a needle and thread. The intention of the art the student states was, “to preserve time a particular state, infancy, eyes that look forward.” “The Alternative” by Jessica Spense. Immediately, the audience is drawn to the array of fashions on display in the upper section of the gallery. Jessica Spence, a Senior Art major showcased her dresses as a blend of the worlds of fashion and art. The artist explores an alternative avenue that is not commonly scene as she combines fashion into the culture in which she is living in. Photographs were taken of models dressed in Jessica’s fashion surrounded by the common habitat she has been living in while attending Hartwick College. Oneonta, New York was the inspiration for her clothing as well as the commonly scene desired fashions of today.
