Dennis Costanzo For the Art Department and the college community, the Senior Art Exhibition is a culminating event of the academic year. For the students in the exhibition, it is the culmination of their years of study at Plattsburgh State. This year’s exhibition represents all areas of study offered by the department (painting and drawing, sculpture and ceramics, printmaking, photography, and graphic design), and includes students from both of the college’s studio art degree programs (B.A. and B.F.A). The variety of technical skills presented in this show is the result of the students’ intensive studio training and accomplishment. The equally diverse subject matter, content, and meanings embodied in these works are a reflection of a group of young artists engaged in a broad and challenging liberal arts education. The consistently high quality of the works in the show should be a matter of great pride for the students themselves, as well as for the Art Department and the college community as a whole. This exhibition is the result of a year of planning and preparation on the part of the students. This has included several stages of interaction and collaboration with each other, the faculty, and the Museum Director and staff. Ultimately, however, the exhibition belongs to the students, and they are to be fully congratulated for this impressive achievement. Dennis Costanzo Chair, Art Department Art Department Faculty: Karen Blough, Dennis Costanzo, Diane Fine, Andrew Goerlitz, Sue Lezon, Berry Matthews, Rick Mikkelson, W. David Powell, Peter Russom, Norman Taber The Art Department awards two art studio derees: the B.F.A. and B.A. The B.F.A. is an intensive prefessional degree that prepares students for art careers or graduate study in either Fine Arts or Graphic Design. The B.A. degree permits students to combine in-depth study in studio art with either broader liberal studies, a second major, or a minor. Every art major elects at least one studio area of concentration with a focus on building a mature level of creative expression.

Had I the heavens’ embroidered in cloths, The exhibition process is part of the learning experience. With instruction from the Director and Museum Staff, they learn to present their works properly and most effectively. They produce their own invitation and catalogue, assist in the presentation and installation of the exhibit in the gallery, speak about their works at the opening of the exhibition, and host a reception for their guests. Many art majors continue on to graduate studies and careers in the professional art field. The exhibition displays the foundation of those developments and also shows art used as a tool for the growth and maturation of individuals. Hopefully, the students’ educational experience becomes a physical and spiritual context in helping them to lead creative and rewarding lives on a healthy planet. Each year, the Senior Exhibition becomes an important punctuation in our students’ careers. It usually focuses and concentrates their efforts into a clear and generous body of work, the aspirations of which have been developing over the years. The Plattsburgh State Art Museum takes great pride in being an integral part of our students’ creative growth and helping support the accomplishments achieved during their study with the Art Department. It is a unique venture, which continues to be a learning experience for all. Congratulations and continued growth to our students. Edward R. Brohel, Director Plattsburgh State Art Museum | |
