Ever curious as to what types of projects come out of the Art department in Building 13? The 2010 Annual Juried Fine Art Student Exhibition is a good place to start.<\/p>\n
The gallery, located on the third and fourth floors of Building 13, opened on April 26. Gallery Coordinator Pat McClelland said the exhibition, which is set to view through May 18, received 210 entries and the juror selected 104 pieces.<\/p>\n
\u201c(The Fine Art Student Exhibition) is a way to showcase the work that our students are doing, to show off the type of projects and approaches that are taught through the Fine Art department and also gives students a little real world experience in a gallery setting,\u201d McClelland said.<\/p>\n
Independent Curator Eva Buttacavoli was the juror for the showcase. In a juror\u2019s statement, Buttacavoli said \u201cI sought works that I felt captured a glimpse of what is happening in the Dayton arts arena today and what may be poised to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
The gallery contains seven categories including painting, drawing, sculpture, ceramic, photography, printmaking and collage. The exhibit showcases 104 pieces that were created by Sinclair students in class, including Zak Moore\u2019s best of show painting \u201cWaking.\u201d Moore submitted two paintings, \u201cWaking\u201d and a self-portrait.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was really surprised,\u201d Moore said about his piece winning best of show. \u201cI didn\u2019t really pick the work I liked best (to submit). I picked the work that my teacher really like the best. I didn\u2019t really expect to get in and I really didn\u2019t expect to win best in show.\u201d<\/p>\n
Moore, a 22-year-old Fine Arts major, has entered pieces into the exhibition the previous two years. Moore said English artist Jenny Saville inspired his best in show piece.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a portrait of one of our models that came in,\u201d he said. \u201cI tried to get an interesting composition \u2026 (Seville) paints a lot of women in kind of disturbing imagery. I tried to get something interesting and shocking.\u201d<\/p>\n
McClelland said Burnell R. Roberts, who the galleries are named after, provides funding for the college to purchase a few pieces from the Fine Art exhibit.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery year, (Roberts) provides money to purchase maybe five or six pieces from this show that then go into the college\u2019s permanent collection,\u201d McClelland said. \u201cA lot of work that you see around campus is student work that has been purchased through this show.\u201d<\/p>\n
McClelland said students have the option to sell their work through the exhibit. The Art department takes a 15 percent commission on all art sold that is then placed in a scholarship fund.<\/p>\n
The Fine Art Student Exhibition is open to the public on Monday-Thursday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. More information on the art galleries can be found at www.sinclair.edu\/arts\/galleries.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ever curious as to what types of projects come out of the Art department in Building 13?
