Aged To Perfection Showing

CLU — Thu, 08 May 2008 23:34:04 +0000

Recently, Computer Graphics students were challenged to create a portrait of themselves as they might appear as eighty-five year olds. Demonstrating their compositing skills in Photoshop and their knowledge of the aging process, they created a series of amazing, aged portraits. Our special guest judge for this challenge was CLU’s Dr. Robert Meadows E.D., Ph.D. Professor of Criminal Justice. Our thanks to Dr, Meadows, who after years of service in law enforcement, brought a trained and experienced eye in determining which student did the most visually convincing portrait of themselves as a senior citizen.

The winning portrait was created by Sophia Naranjo. You can visit the Aged To Perfection Show in the Spies Borman Building right next to Media Services. Try to identify participating students before checking their names on the tags below their pictures. It’s fun!

Exhibiting for the first time

CLU — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 20:16:05 +0000

Exhibiting for the first time puts anyone under pressure. Knowing their work was going to be under scrutiny wasn’t particularly reassuring for our 12 senior art students. “The Senior Class Art Exhibit, 12 Apart: Group Show” is starting on April, 26 and finishes on May, 17 and I wanted to know how they felt about this first experience. One of them, Kyle Stuart accepted to share his impressions with the readers of this blog.

“The time leading up to my senior art show was very stressful. What
stressed me most was not being able to put my artwork together
successfully.

“Originally, I decided to create a number of graphic designs
dealing with pattern and use that material for the show. But the more I
worked on this, the more I decided it wasn’t what I really wanted to do.

Kyle Stuart hanging his work at the gallery at Overton Hall.

“Naturally, at this time I felt compelled to think about what I enjoy most
about creating this type of artwork. During this time I came to the
conclusion that what really interests me about graphic design is
manipulating photographs. To be more specific I mess around with colors,
apply different effects, add focal points, and much more. This whole
process of preparing for my show helped me realize what I really love most
about graphic design.”

it is fascinating to see how such an experience helped him mature in his choices as an artist and I thank him for his honesty.
