Florida School of the Arts students prepare for graduate gallery show
Florida School of the Arts fine art students will display their work at an upcoming graduate show. An opening reception will be held on Thursday, May 14 at 7 p.m. to honor the work of five graduating students. The exhibits will be on display through May 29 in the FloArts main gallery, located on the Palatka Campus of St. Johns River Community College. Gallery hours are Monday – Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
This year’s participants are fine art graduates Krystal Sellers, Ben Firth, Emily Lenehan, Jaimie Shinskie and Greg Hyzy.
According to FloArts gallery director and fine art instructor Michael Burban, the exhibition is a two-year culmination of the students’ growth and development in the theory and practice of the arts and shows a broad range of creativity from traditional-based art to contemporary Postmodern. “The interdisciplinary art forms of drawing and painting, graphic design, photography, illustration, new media and 3-D mixed media/installation are all represented in the exhibition,” said Burban. “This gives the viewer insight into a very diverse, intelligent and creative group of young artists,” he said.
The visual arts program directs students to fully comprehend, use and manipulate the materials, techniques and procedures of the visual arts through drawing, printmaking, graphic design, illustration and photography.
