On Mar. 11, the Ashland Art Department held its second art gallery of the semester. This art exhibit was called the Student Juried Art and Design Exhibition.
When you walked into the art show, you were given a red sticker for the ability to vote on your favorite art piece.
The art gallery was filled with smiling faces as students proudly showed off their artwork that they spent the last eight weeks working on.
Some students were awarded for their work.
Freshman, Katelyn McClain, was awarded the Alumni, “Wink” award for her wire sculpture called, “MiLady”.
“I just appreciated the way the figure looked in that position. I liked the way her legs looked crossed; she just kind felt really flowy,” McClain said.
McClain was also a part of the group that won best in show. She designed the crows and did some stencil work for “Good Omens”, which was also submitted to the “Crow Festival.”
Awards that were given:
“Best in show,” was given to Lynn Montgomery, Sierra Bailey, Julia Herrera, Ava Jaskulski, Katelyn McClain, and Jack Yeaste for their piece called “Good Omens”.
“The Bernini Award,” went to Hannah Keough’s iPad and procreate drawing, “In the Closet”.
“The College of Arts and Sciences Dean’s Purchase Awards,” went to Grace Stephens for her relief print, “La Danse Des Fleurs”, Abigail Mozina for her scratchboard, “Flower Power” and Abigail Mozina for her graphite drawing, “The Trees”.
“The Saville Award,” went to Hannah Keough for iPad and procreate drawing, “Goose Girl”.
Some honorable mentions went to Mason Smith’s oil painting piece called “Untitled”, Kaysie Salmon’s ceramics piece called “Sweet Ocean Dreams”, Josie Musci relief print called, “Final Rest”, Sierra Bailey’s pencil drawing “Sunset in Hindsight”, and Jacob McCabe’s photo, “Highway Lights”.
