“Through close relationships with faculty who are both dedicated teachers and active artists, art students at Connecticut College gain exposure to a variety of artistic philosophies and professional practices in art,” says artist and Associate Professor of Art Pamela Marks, who organized the student exhibit along with Professor of Art Timothy McDowell. “Art students seamlessly integrate liberal arts courses with a broad interdisciplinary and international studio experience. Some of our past graduates have combined photography and anthropology, painting and psychology, and design studies and gender studies, to name just a few examples. Students are free to pursue traditional, interdisciplinary or experimental approaches to art-making. Students may experiment or concentrate in a broad range of studio disciplines including ceramics, graphic design, mixed media, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, video and sound art.”
February’s show also features favorite works in a variety of media by ACGOW artist members.
