The Summer Art Show was held on Sept. 3 from 4 P.M to 6 P.M. It displayed the pieces that visual and digital media students worked on during the summer. The show exhibited an array of artwork using different mediums, from ink prints to photography.

Visual junior Jailine Cano did a black ink rubber cut print portraying headless female dolls. She takes inspiration from Lauren Youngsmith, an artist who uses a minimalist black and white color scheme. Cano enjoys how Youngsmith incorporates octopuses, organic shapes, and the female figure in her work.

“It really inspires me because I want to do the same thing, but add my own personal style. I like to go for a dreamlike look, and it gives the audience a reason to look at it. I want to be different in my work, I want people to look at it and think ‘Oh, that’s Jailene’s work,’” Cano said.

Visual sophomore Allie Taylor painted an elaborate night sky scene on her twin sister Brielle’s face. The scene took her 30 minutes using acrylic paint, and was photographed for presentation.

“I was on Tumblr and I saw a girl who photoshopped a sunset onto her entire body, so I thought ‘Why don’t I do that to Brielle and actually paint it?’” Taylor said.

Many of the summer pieces are still on display in building nine.
