Day 4

Art shows to apply for!

Are you interested in having your artwork displayed at the Community Arts Network of Oneonta this October? 

 

If so, please consider sending in your art pieces in to Ella Van Engen - at vanengene@hartwick.edu. 

Please send in a high quality photo of your art, dimensions, medium, your name and school year! 

Around 4-8 students will be selected based on gallery space, sizes of works submitted, and how many people we have submitting artworks. 

 

***Note: if we have a large turn out of submissions, the number of students selected may increase. 

There will be a gallery closing reception on October 21st (time TBA), and the work will be installed by October 7th. 

This is a great opportunity to have your work displayed in a gallery that is open to the public, and it’s great experience to have if you are planning on continuing Art after college.

Lets talk art:

The choices you make (intentionally or unintentionally) while creating art becomes the language by which your viewer understands the piece. This happens through the choice of medium, material, aesthetic qualities, formal elements, subject matter, gesture, lighting, dimension and location. Each of these is connected to a greater cultural & historical context that can change depending on the viewers age, race, gender identity, nationality, economic status and location on the planet.

As art students you are becoming experts in understanding the many levels of depth an image/object contains and how it effects your viewer. If you were in chemistry you would be expected to remember the periodic table as well as how all the elements intact through various chemical combinations depending on situation. (sounds just as impossible doesn't it) You creative neighbors upstairs are doing the same thing with sound and musical composition.
