Over the summer students in Advanced Art Studio started work on their portfolios. Students are asked to choose a topic or theme to focus on that investigates content or a visual idea. Over the course of the year students develop their work into a portfolio for a 2-person exhibition in the spring. A selection of the work shown here is currently on display in Taft Hall.

“My concentration is Saturday Night Live and comedians. Comedians tend to be unhappy people, and so they have set out with the goal to make sure no one ever feels as low as they once have.”

“This year, my focus is my family. I chose this theme because it has both personal and universal significance. Because I have many siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents, I always have material to work with. However, not every family is the same as mine. Universally, each family is different. As the year continues, I am shifting my focus from my own family to worldwide interpretations of this aspect of identity.”

“My concentration is Mythical Creatures because I've always enjoyed reading fantasy books as a kid, and I wanted to choose a topic that I could have a lot of fun with.”

“My focus this year is on architecture and the impact and role it plays for humans. For example, architecture influences human emotions. It is also a way of expressing cultural differences.”
