2004-2005 Student Show Contains Eclectic Art

This year's Student Show features eclectic pieces of art from art majors and non-majors, the results of every studio course offered in the College's Art and Design Department.
An eclectic display of student artwork in the 2004-2005 Student Show fills the space of the Flora Kirsch Beck Art Gallery at Alma College until Oct. 6.

This year's Student Show features works from 57 talented artists with a total of 123 pieces that were selected by a panel of professors during the 2004-2005 school year. The artists range from art majors to biology majors; the mediums vary from ceramics to digital, painting to photography, representing every studio course offered in the College's Art and Design Department.

Each student derives inspiration from something different, whether it is surroundings or experiences, fears or passions, or simply desire for something functional or detailed. Some of the pieces in this show include a set of six circular wooden tables, a trio of ceramic globes, two larger than life floral paintings, a metal sculpture depicting 9-11, photos of what appear to be monoliths, but are actually pieces of paper, and a comic-book series.

The Flora Kirsch Beck Art Gallery in the Clack Art Center is open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. A closing reception with artists in attendance is scheduled for Oct. 6 from 4 to 5 p.m. Admission to the 2004-2005 Student Show and reception is free. For more information call (989) 463-7286 or email lopez_isnard@alma.edu.
