<\/a>\u201cIt\u2019s a little bit tricky in a group show when you have six different artists with six very different points of view to find one theme that really encapsulates everyone,\u201d Boulay said. \u201cSo Fluid Studio is meant to speak to that conundrum of a group show.\u201d<\/p>\n
The second week will focus on the remaining six students starting May 6, the theme for that show is \u201cRoots,\u201d which explores where people are from, ideas of home and self-portraiture.<\/p>\n
Kieran McDonnell, a senior majoring in studio arts is in the \u201cFluid Studio\u201d exhibit.<\/p>\n
McDonnell expressed his excitement on showing his work in a gallery that has featured many nationally and internationally known professional artists.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo be in the same space as them is really an honor, but this show is really a wonderful opportunity for us,\u201d McDonnell said. \u201cOur show is based around our perception of how we\u2019ve grown as artists\u2026everyone in here has worked hard and we are all looking forward to seeing this show come to completion.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFluid Studio\u201d was originally going to feature the students\u2019 first self-portrait alongside a current one, but for spacing reasons that element was cut from the first show.<\/p>\n
This element will be featured in \u201cRoots,\u201d allowing gallery viewers to see the progress of each student and compare the two works.<\/p>\n
In Boulay\u2019s class, students create a professional portfolio and learn how to install , so they will be installing the exhibit in the Watkins Gallery.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s entirely up to the students to design and install their own exhibition,\u201d Boulay said. \u201cI\u2019ve taught them how to install their work and now it\u2019s up to them to get everything organized and decide how everything is going to look. It\u2019s also really exciting for students who are graduating to have an exhibition in the gallery during commencement, so they can bring their families through and look at their work.\u201d<\/p>\n The Watkins Gallery is open Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with extended hours on Wednesdays.<\/p>\n For additional information about Watkins Gallery and the exhibit follow these links:<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/wsuwatkinsgallery\/<\/a><\/p>\n www.winona.edu\/art\/Exhibitions.html<\/a><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.winona.edu\/art-galleries\/visit.asp<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The culmination of four years of dedication to art will be on display at Winona State University during the last two weeks of the 2019 spring semester.
