Adapting Environments: Foundations VII
April 7-14, 2005
April 7, 5-8pm Opening Reception

The Union Art Gallery is please to present the seventh annual student exhibition of the Peck School of the Arts- Department of Visual Art Foundations program. The foundations program provides first year art students with a broad background in basic drawing, 2D & 3D concepts and the digital arts. The Foundations year is a time of artistic and personal development, where students choose their areas of concentration and begin to see themselves grow as visual artists. Each year there is a general theme to structure assignments around, which gives the program a sense of consistency as well as proving the students with programming that facilitates their concept development. This year's theme is the environment. By interpreting various environments, such as those of the body, politics, local and natural surroundings, students create objects that feature this theme in the collection of their works. It is in this context that the skills of adaptation; both of materials and of concepts, are developed in the minds of these first-year visual art students.
