New art exhibitions are up in the library. Following is a description of each.
Cornell Boxes and Paper Sculptures
Students in Karen Bowdoin’s Design 2 class have created Cornell boxes, inspired by the 3-D artist Joseph Cornell. Each student developed a personal concept and, using allegory and symbolism, built their own boxes and designed the display within, choosing items to enhance their theme.
Also, in Bowdoin’s 3-D design class, students created two- to three-foot-high 3-D forms from the two-dimensional material of paper. All sculptures are made of white paper, and a variety of natural and mythical animal forms are on display.
Illustration Class Posters
Bob Bredemeier’s Illustration class display includes commercial art design and posters on controversial topics.
