The El Camino College Art Gallery will present its annual showcase of student artwork through June 1, with an Art Department and Photography Department open house set for 5-8 p.m. May 19. All items in the Student Art Show were selected by instructors as outstanding examples of student work produced at the college.
The Student Art Show provides a unique glimpse into the educational and aesthetic philosophy advocated by El Camino College and illustrates a diversity characteristic of the contemporary art world. The majority of the works in the gallery are grounded in an academic approach to art study and training.
Represented in the exhibition are traditional two-dimensional painting media, as well as drawing media on paper. The exhibition also includes examples of photographic processes and various digital media pieces. Additionally, the show includes a cross section of three-dimensional techniques taught in the Art Department, such as jewelry construction; plaster, clay, latex and bronze cast sculpture; wheel-thrown and slab-constructed clay vessels; and hand-built objects, as well as a variety of imaginative mixed-media constructions and small-scale installation pieces.
