BFA Show
Our students that graduate with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree must complete an independent project, the final product usually being an exhibition of images. Yesterday was the opening reception for a BFA show for four photography students, several graphic design students, and one illustration student. The students have been working on their project for a year, and the work was great. I am particularly proud of the work done by the photographers. Not only was the work strong, but the presentation, the artist statements, and the opening reception were all outstanding.
Shalese documenting ghost towns and abandoned homesteads of eastern Idaho. They were photographed with a large format camera, scanned and printed digitally.
Emily and her father went on several hikes to mostly lesser-known locations in and around their home town in Wyoming. She made 180-360 degree views of these places with a digital camera. She put several individual photographs together digitally and made large ink jet prints.
Karen had access to an X-ray machine this summer and made quite a few (over 100 at least) negatives of sea life (shells, starfish, seahorses, etc.). She then contact printed most of them using Printing Out Paper, she also scanned some and made ink jet prints.
Jessica, who has always been interested in dance, as well as photography, made photographs of dancers. She photographed people involved in different types of dance including ballet, clogging, and ballroom among others.
Anyway, it was a really nice show to have towards the end of the semester. Here are some images.

nice photos! the kids must have a clever & insightful teacher.
That's why teaching is worth it! You get to see your students succeed.
Oh yeah...and I'm pretty sure Shalese used to be in my ward.
Well that's very nice to see you praise them with a blog post. I'm with pinholeman, you must be a good teacher... you are.

Sweet work! Sweet blog post! I want to come up and see the show...probably won't happen. :(
Now, they have to keep it up and even kick it up a notch now that they're done. Their BFA project, although important, is the first stepping stone in their career. I'm sure you've shared that with them...you don't miss much.
I like the shell picture!
