Dominic Santora: Senior Exhibition Show

This year's senior exhibition show was a very impressive and well put together display of the work created by this year's senior art majors. Every aspect of the show, from the printmaking to the painting, was originial and creative in its own way. some of the more interesting pieces were a series of paintings about 6 ft tall done on a sort of tan fabric. The content was slightly abstract and they were all held up at the top by items such as shovels, brooms, etc. which i thought was a very original way to display work.

What I thought was the most interesting part of the exhibition was the talk given which displayed a senior artist's work which was directly and obviously influenced by her Moroccan heritage. This consisted of mostly digital work dealing with Moroccan women. What i liked about it was the consistensy of the color pallete she chose which represented her heritage as well as the unique designs which appeared on the hands and faces in her pieces.

This show had a big influence on the way I think about art due to the Moroccan influenced pieces as well as Thomas Dugan who created a greenhouse which harvested solar energy. This exhibition made me realize there is many different ways to express art and send the messages I wish to send through my art.
