The
Annual Senior Student Exhibition, held every spring in
the College's Handwerker Gallery, features the work of upper-level
students in the Department of Art and the Department of Cinema
and Photography. Their creations range from oil paintings and
mixed-media sculptures to videos and digitally manipulated photographs.
Says Harry McCue, chair of the art department and associate professor,
"The senior art show is a capstone for our art majors and minors.
It is especially important to the B.F.A. students, who are expected
to have several major works in the show. All seniors may submit
pieces, which are then judged by the art faculty. Students whose
work is selected must prepare it for the exhibition --- for example,
framing it or making a pedestal. The faculty provides technical
help. The show is a huge undertaking, but the results make the
enormous effort worthwhile. It is our students' most visible contribution
to the College and the local community."
