On view through Fall semester.
“Reflections of the Self” is a series of works where students investigate identity and material to construct self-portraits. Produced by the FA Art Appreciation course 1361-0001: students have been invited to reflect on their own experiences to incorporate into new works for this exhibition. Experiences shape who we are as individuals; by sharing these moments through self-portraiture, we hope to better understand our differences and appreciate our similarities.
Perspectives in Focus:
This photo essay project encourages creativity and critical thinking in capturing real-life events through compelling imagery. It provides a platform for artists to explore and communicate stories that matter to them, emphasizing the importance of their chosen topics. Our class project serves as a record of what inspires us artistically, whether it’s different views on people in our lives, historical sites, or our athletic pursuits. A photo is worth a thousand words, and by sharing these perspectives, we learn to see the world through others’ eyes. Photo essays showcase the significance of understanding diverse viewpoints and allow us to express what motivates us creatively, fostering empathy and deeper connections through visual storytelling.
