Westmont Senior Art Exhibition


The Westmont Senior Art Exhibition, "We Are Here", opened a few weeks ago. It was so neat to see the final products after watching several of them work on them throughout the semester. I was really impressed by a lot of the work and it was so fun to see it in the new museum. The displays were incredible and there was a huge variety of work which I appreciated. I really enjoyed Matt Shelton's sculptures. The tension in the pieces really draws you in -- it doesn't look like the chain should be able to stand upright. I got to talk to him about the process involved which was really neat to hear about. 
Joel Phillip's pieces were astounding. I loved that they were life size. I was really impressed by how he got the  much detail and kept the pieces looking so clean with charcoal. 
I also really enjoyed Jason's pieces. I may be a little biased, but I think they turned out so well, especially after being able to watch them from start to finish. I love the emotion and the incredible amount of detail and layering. It is fun to see all that you can do with digital art.
There were a lot more fantastic pieces in the show. If you haven't seen them yet make sure to get up to the Westmont Museum of Art by Saturday!!
