Abroad in Italy, art students find inspiration

One of their works, "Pam and the Madgalene," features a photograph tucked into the praying hands of the Madgalene. Their chosen photograph is shown in various photos that they took while in Italy, for example in the hands of Italian police officers, with other students in a crowd of street dancers and in a group shot of the students who studied abroad.
Some of the work displayed is from students who studied abroad but are not enrolled at Geneseo.
Since all of the students studied and created their pieces in the same places, the subjects of many paintings and drawings are repeated, but differing levels of talent and craftsmanship are shown. While most artists shared a common theme and this repetition ties together the experience, artistic immaturity is evident in a few of the drawings, especially the ones that are obviously lacking in proper shading.
The Fall Senior Thesis Exhibition is the next showcase to be displayed in the Bridge Gallery. It will run from Nov. 14 to Dec. 5. For more information on exhibits in any of Geneseo's galleries, visit sota.geneseo.edu.
