The event showcases the work of fourth-year students who are graduating from the Bachelor of Fine Arts and Bachelor of Media Studies programs. The exhibit features sculpture, performance, installation, painting, photography, drawing, digital media, game design, immersive art, new media and animation.<\/p>\n
The students have been working hard to create a collection of original and engaging works over the past year and have come together for this final exhibition, explains Shawn Serfas, a visual arts professor and head of the Creative Studies Department. As part of their program, the two groups of students work collaboratively to create a show that complements both the visual and media art programs.<\/p>\n
\u201cBringing these diverse works together in one exhibition shows the wide range of ideas and creative growth students have achieved over their four years of study in studio and digital arts,\u201d says Serfas. \u201cAs you walk through our department, you can see how vibrant and varied their work is. We\u2019re excited to see it all come together in their final exhibition at UBCO.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fourth-year students Maya Taki and Talia Gagnon are just two of the students organizing the event and will both have artwork exhibited.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe upcoming\u00a0Odds and Ends\u00a0<\/em>exhibition is a culmination of what we have been working on in these last four years,\u201d says Taki. \u201cWatching everyone\u2019s growth throughout our years together and seeing everyone come into their practice has been such a pleasure.\u201d<\/p>\n Working between two programs to organize this exhibition, Serfas says the students gain a unique set of professional skills and experience.<\/p>\n With the broad range of artistic practices curated alongside each other, students are looking forward to sharing with the community what they have worked towards for the duration of their degree.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re really excited to showcase all our hard work and for everyone to come and see the show,\u201d adds Gagnon. \u201cThis exhibition is full of so many exciting projects, it\u2019s definitely not one to miss, and we really encourage people to come out and see what we\u2019ve achieved.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
