Sophomore Show

Well, I finally had my Sophomore Show last week (April 27th – May 2nd). It was a little bit stressful worrying about getting everything done and also wondering if I had bought enough food for the reception (I was on the refreshment committee), but everything worked out in the end. At the show, each professor has these small dots that are placed next to the pieces they think are the best in each student’s works on display. The pictures they liked of mine were Figure Study 7, Untitled, “Least Resistance”, and Attention!. During the Gallery Talk the sophomores all broke up into small groups lead by one professor and a few seniors for a bit of critique. The people in my group seemed to like my stuff and there was some good constructive criticism given which I mostly agreed with. In the end I would say that it was a pretty interesting experience even though I was so nervous!

Also at the Gallery Talk on Wednesday, Arthur announced that there was an annual scholarship given to a female with at least a 3.0 GPA and financial need. I was kind of hoping it would be me since I could really use it but, alas, I wasn’t chosen. I was apparently lucky enough to win something else, though. There’s an Art in the Park thing around my parent’s house every year. After my old art teacher framed some of my stuff for the Sophomore Show, my mom also brought in a few of my older artworks to be framed. Mary knew about the festival so she asked my mom if she could enter in my Invisible Man picture because she thought I had a good chance of winning. My mom agreed so it was entered. The festival is today and tomorrow and a few hours ago Mary called to tell my mom that I had won one of the categories. I really have no clue what category it was or what the prize is, but I’m hoping I can go there for at least a little bit tomorrow.

Only one week of actual school left and then 2 days for my finals. So much to do!
I updated the art section with 2 new pics and also posted a bunch of sketches and drawings from class that I’ve done recently. Hope you enjoy.

Until next time,
