Abstract
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.
