The Tarble Art Center's walls are once again peppered with student art.
The All-Student Art Show was unveiled for the two-hour award reception held March 6, which served primarily to honor students who exhibited and won the coveted yearly awards.
Art education professor Patricia Belleville said 83 student artists' works were on display for the yearly All-Student Art Show exhibit, which has been on display in Tarble since 1982.
Belleville, who was responsible for finding jurors for the show said the art show is unique. "It really doesn't reflect who the department thinks is best. For one, [students] have to choose to enter. The students have to choose to use it. It's really more like a national show that the students as artists would choose to enter."
Many students took that option, entering a total of 377 pieces the show-a record number, said Belleville. The art offered a wide array of media and talent; and included painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, metals, ceramics, fibers, graphic design, 2-D and 3-D design, computer animation, digital prints, and photography.
"I think the faculty is encouraging the students to do it, I know I encourage the students to do it in my class," Belleville said. "If they want to be a working artist, they have to exhibit. This is a nice chance to start exhibiting their work or learn how to enter work in shows."
Students were honored with juried awards, which include merit awards and honorable mentions, but they are also recognized for their work by the art department. The Chairman Award, which is given to senior who has demonstrated exceptional abilities as a visual artists is just one of these.
"The faculty itself views the work and the faculty actually vote and agree on who gets the award. But in order to be eligible, the student has to exhibited in the All-Student show," said Belleville. "Not only does the faculty have to think it's exceptional, but the jurors have to also think it exceptional enough to be entered in the student show."
