What’s happening in the Fine Arts building this semester? Boots on the ground The Lariat finds out. Just a quick walk by the Fine Arts Building will show what is happening.
There are many artists working outside in the sun and fresh air to help give them inspiration. The artists preferred not to comment and would much rather stay focused at the job at hand. This is admirable in an artists’ ability to work on their projects and not get sidetracked.
“Bat Boy the musical” and “EARTH: Fragile Planet” are the two most prevalent events happening in the Fine Arts Department.
If you can find the time this fall walk, over to the Saddleback College Art Gallery and check out the newest exhibition. “EARTH: Fragile Planet” expresses the state of our planet in the form of print.
During this term the art is comprised of not just paint but also darkroom techniques.
Words cannot properly describe the exhibition, take the time and stop by to make your own opinions and ideas. With no fee of entry you’ve nothing to lose.
The Society’s mission of promoting the art and appreciation of illustration through exhibits, lectures and education will be supported on all three levels through this high profile exhibit. The Society hopes that through this exhibit the field of illustration will help contribute to social and ecological consciousness.
The goal of illustration is to elicit an emotional response from the viewer that will change the way they see the world and hopefully inspire some to become more active in effecting change for a better world.
This project will reach out to a varied community of students, educators, artists and the public at large.
According to the website societyillustrators.org, “With such powerful and inspiring art, the Society hopes to build awareness, bring people to action and help make a difference.”
