Today I visited the Allegheny College art galleries to view their juried student art show. When I taught at Allegheny I really encouraged my students to enter this show each year because it is important for artists to at least experience the act of being professional, even though it has nothing to being an artist overall. As painful as it can be, showing teaches you something.
I had students in my photo 1 class do very well in these shows. Several got awards. The assignments I gave were good, but it took the student to take those assignments places. And they often did.
It was fun today to see the work being done. As with the way of the world now, it was heavier on the digital end of producing, but I was impressed with a few drawings I saw. It was a good show and it was a shame it was only up for a few days and the public couldn't go see it.
Next up is the Junior seminar show followed by the senior comp show. Gallery director Paula Burliegh said to keep an eye on social media for updates and to see some of the work. The best thing they have done is keep on with shows and promoting the students as best they can.
