A couple weeks ago I doubled up on shows for a week, and will talk of one of those shows for this week. I went home on mothers day weekend a couple days early (leaving after class that thursday), and while I was home, decided to stop by my old high school and surprise a few of my favorite teachers. While on campus, I made a trip to the school's art building, and stopped by the ever changing gallery to take a look at some student work for the Art Major's final show (my high school actually offered a high-school "art major" program). I was very surprised at the high level of skill displayed in many of the pieces. There was an array of mediums on display, from sculpture, to pen and ink, to photography, and even a couple installation pieces. A couple of my favorite pieces were done by some of the younger students that I didn't know personally, who seemed to take their work less seriously, almost making for a more light-hearted viewer experience. One of these such pieces involved a video projection of a flip book, in which he make slight changes to random images, coming off as a surprise to the viewer.
It was pretty cool to see some of the pieces that the younger classes were doing for assignments that I had myself when I was enrolled in the same classes.
