Local Talent on Display: TSC Fine Arts Students Showcase Semester's Work at Capstone Exhibition

On April 16, 2024, Texas Southmost College (TSC) hosted the Capstone Series: Student Art Exhibition at the Fine Arts Gallery in the ITECC. This event showcased the semester-long projects of students from the Fine Arts program. The exhibition included a range of paintings that demonstrated the skills and creativity developed by the students throughout the academic term.

Robert Andes, a TSC Art instructor and the event's master of ceremonies, described the students' process. They started with designing a series of works, conducted preliminary studies, and created sketches to realize their artistic ideas. The exhibition marked the final class for these students, displaying the results of their learning and practice at the college.

April Prado, president of the TSC Fine Arts Club and one of the featured artists, presented works influenced by classical artists like Michelangelo and Raphael. Her series explored themes of self-identity and encouraged viewers to reflect on these concepts. Her portrait-style paintings aimed to communicate clear ideas to the audience.

Jasmin Guajardo, another highlighted artist, based her artwork on the Greek mythology of Orpheus and Eurydice. Despite challenges in achieving the right balance of shadows and highlights, her completed paintings expressed a complex narrative effectively.
