The ART 371 class worked on the “Big Heads” project, where they worked in teams to create self portraits using the basic tenants of studio lighting and portraiture. This project was designed to embrace analog technology and to allow self expression through large portraits. The exhibition will be up from February 8th to March 1st in the Carver Gym Exhibition space. They could be seen in the upper windows of Carver Gym from the outside of the gym and could even been seen from the windows of the Fine Art Building on campus.

The show features the creative works of: Lillie Brown, Jana M. Harder, Jada Kleinman, Jude Klemmeck, Keely B. Sandoz, Priya Shalauta, Brittany Stillings, Ava Weller, and Gage White.

Special thanks to Nathan Cranston, Payton Dickerson, Steph Lasater and the Student Staff at the Student Technology Center!
