Art Show

Chowan University Faculty Art Exhibition 
Fall 2011


*There were many different pieces on display - graphics, pottery, floor art, painted pieces.  I enjoyed this field trip and it forced me to look more into why I like certain pieces of art

I chose to reflect on the following piece:
     The Wishing Tree
          by Jennifer Groves
     Acrylic on Masonite

The title reminded me of Shel Silverstien's book The Giving Tree.  This is one of my favorite children's books for its meaning.
I also chose this piece because of the title.  At this time in my life there are several things I wish for.
I did a free hand sketch of this picture, however to share that with you would do the art justice, compared to what I saw in person.

  1. Although the art pieces were nice, the ones that intrigued me the most were outside the art gallery. I liked the one on the wall to the left when you first walk in. The pieces of metal looked like a winter forest.
