The Department of Art and Design is hosting “Tandem II,” an exhibit in the gallery and corridor of Hopkins Hall. Admission is free and items are on display until May 20.
The exhibit is part of a program that showcases a variety of creations by beginning art students. A plethora of art techniques are displayed, including beginning drawing in technical design of visual studies, done in pencil and charcoal. The architecture-based works are done with clean lines, focusing on simple architectural aspects, such as staircases and bare kitchens, composed of geometric patterns.
Some of the works are purely abstract, not representing any part of nature. These pieces show off the simplicities of color and how they work together. The three-dimensional art sculptures are made of wood, one of a girl holding a sailboat. The entire piece is geometrical; her head is unrealistic, yet simple, as it is a combination of profile and frontal from one viewpoint.
Technology is another media used at the exhibit, showcasing real-time art using audio and video. It offering viewers to take a seat and relax as they enjoy what’s on screen.
“Tandem II” exhibits many talents of young promising artists. The next time you’re cruising through the Oval, stop by Hopkins and enjoy some original pieces.
