Issue date: 5/1/08 Section: A & E
A few weeks ago we announced the three winners to The Society of Illustrators of New York Student Scholarship Competition. This time we are celebrating an entire senior class.
Vincent van Gogh, the famous artist once said, "My opinion is that the best thing would be to work on a piece of art until art lovers feel drawn towards it of their own accord, instead of having to praise or to explain it."
The art and design department at Sacred Heart University are inviting you to their "SPN," Senior Portfolio Night. It is a night when the Art and Design Department celebrate their graduating class of illustrating, graphic design, and studio art majors for 2008. Their talented artwork will be ready for all the art lovers to come and enjoy.
The event is for the graduating seniors to present their best art work of the year and their portfolios to the viewing public.
If you are interested in going you can come tonight to the Oakview Lobby. The event will run from 4:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. There will also be music and refreshments made available.
For many of the students graduating, this is their moment to show all the hard work they put into their art work while at Sacred Heart.
"When I started at SHU my major was biology and I really had a hard time with all my science classes. I always liked to draw and being creative and I took the decision to change my major to graphic design," said senior Francisco Flores, who was one of three winners of The Society of Illustrators of New York Student Scholarship Competition a few weeks ago. "Some friends didn't support me about this big change from science to art, but I got the support of my family and was enough to me because they believed in me. In the spring 2007, I decided to make a double emphasis in graphic design and illustration."
There is a famous saying about art that says, "There's no retirement for an artist, it's your way of living so there's no end to it." Art is something like a lifestyle that the students at Sacred Heart can always take with them.
"I really had fun being a graphic design major and I think that it is very important in any job or occupation. I was not very happy studying biology, I do like it but that is not my field. You must study a career that fulfills your spirit and makes you happy otherwise you will do something for the rest of your life that won't stimulate you to pursue your aspirations and goals," said Flores.
So if you would like to see the work of aspiring and talented artists, from our own student body, show your support and share the love for art that is shown through their work, and come to the Oakview lobby tonight.
