Artworks produced by participating students take center stage at the Hibel Museum of Art. Over 50 images, which include digital manipulation, collage, photography, painting, drawing, and 3-dimensional formations, are included in this annual student art show. Theme based projects introduced into their academic curriculum challenged these talented young people to approach artmaking as an intellectual investigation that at times placed questions concerning the notion of private/public space, identity, representation, and reinvention at the center of their visual inquiry. |
Not all of these artworks produced by students address such weighty concerns. Preferring a more humorous artistic direction several students took a more tongue-in-cheek approach in their art production allowing for the final art piece to be more playful and fun. As a result the high quality artistic visual expressions created by these students are sophisticated in their approach and eloquent in their presentation.
The public is invited to come and view the wonderful artworks produced by students attending the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College of Florida Atlantic University in Jupiter, Florida. The exhibit will be on display from April 22 through until May 3, 2010. The opening night reception will be held Thursday, April 22nd from 5:00 -7:00 pm at The Hibel Museum, located in Abacoa, Jupiter. It is tucked back on the corner of University and Main Street on the Florida Atlantic University John D. MacArthur campus.
