2014 Spring Storm
(2014) Department of Art, University of Oregon
Spring Storm has become a great new tradition for the University of Oregon Department of Art. Featuring the work of the graduating seniors in Art and Digital Arts, it is a wonderful opportunity to see their culminating work and celebrate their accomplishments. More importantly, the Spring Storm exhibition is a catalyst for students to reflect on their work in the program and to synthesize their ideas and practices. Through senior capstone project courses or other advanced classes, students engage this synthesis with strong faculty mentorship. As undergraduates studying art, they are challenged not only to learn about the discipline, but also to take action; they must develop their own work and voice within the context of their field. Encompassing an unusually broad range of practices, our curriculum includes photography, sculpture, ceramics, metalsmithing and jewelry, painting, drawing, fibers and printmaking, as well as digital arts, which includes print media, animation, video and interactivity. The Department of Art encourages expansive study; students work in a few different media areas during their four years in the program, though they often concentrate in one or two areas. Art and digital arts majors at the University of Oregon are exposed to a remarkable array of contemporary art practices and the work in the Spring Storm reflects that energy and diversity.

(2015) Department of Art, University of Oregon
In its third edition, Spring Storm presents the creative endeavors and accomplishments of our graduating seniors with a public exhibition and accompanying catalog. As undergraduate art and digital art majors, our students gain a wonderful breadth of study through foundational coursework and experimentation across a wide range of disciplines.

With the mentorship of faculty members in capstone or advanced courses, students bridge the gap between ideas and material, form or image to create meaningful and unique works of art. Our students learn to think responsively, ask questions, look for creative solutions, and express ideas apropos to their regional culture while adapting and responding to a global landscape. In this way, Spring Storm marks the culmination of their creative studies in the Department of Art and represents a significant moment in their evolution from students to young artists.
