I went to the Noble Room in Hendricks Chapel to look at the displayed artwork. My favorite piece of artwork was “Whisper” and “Flirt” by Jamie Sedal. I would love to have it hanging on my bedroom or bathroom walls. The concept and colors were amazing. I also enjoyed Kathie Maniaci’s transparencies. They were really pretty and sentimental. I like the color choice in the “Figure study” with acrylic on canvas by Renee Parisi. The acrylic sketch looked amazing on the canvas. Out of all the wall art, the one that caught my eye was the newspaper charcoal “Worries” by Amber Brown. I liked the fact it was done on newspaper because it can be an earth friendly project and perfect for the low budget classroom. I also liked that it wasn’t just one piece of paper but layered pieces of newspaper. I enjoyed looking at art teacher’s artwork. A lot of times in schools the students don’t see what the art teacher can personally do and instead, usually just tells the students what to do. I think it is important that art teachers also have their work displayed.
