A reception celebrating the unveiling of a new art exhibition, entitled Same Difference, took place April 25.<\/p>\n
According to Art + Design instructor Suzanne Szucs, \u201cSame Difference\u201d is the annual art portfolio show, which showcases the work of RCTC students. In Szucs\u2019s opening speech, she said that the Art Portfolio class \u201cis focused on professionalism, so students learn about professionalism while creating an exhibition portfolio.\u201d
\nThe students produced these inspiring pieces of artwork during three months of productive effort. During this time, the students grew both as artists and individuals.
\nZoe Jensen, whose paintings are included in the art exhibition, described this process, saying that we channeled our creativity and planned out how we\u2019d go about the artwork. She also stated that \u201cI believe everyone found out what they really wanted to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
For quite a few students, this art exhibition is the culmination of an Associate of Fine Arts Degree or a Photography Certificate, as they are graduating this spring.
\nSzucs believes that they have a bright future in front of them and calls their achievement \u201cthe start of a very long career of success because they put a lot of love and effort into it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Szucs said that she is \u201cvery proud of what the students have done.\u201d
\nFrom photographs to inkjet prints to oil on canvas, the mediums the artwork were presented in were as varied as the subjects and themes. Within each artist\u2019s project, viewers can detect his\/her unique interpretation of a situation.<\/p>\n
An artist\u2019s statement describing the meaning and thought process of the artwork is mounted beside each display. By reading these explanations, viewers can gain valuable insight into the distinctive reasoning at the heart of each presentation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
