TAMUK\u00a0artists final exhibit<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

After four years of hard work and dedication, Texas A&M University-Kingsville art department hosted its senior art show at Kleberg Bank on Friday, Nov. 22, to showcase senior artwork during Ranch Hand Weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is very important because whatever they do outside of the university everyone will see. Now what they do in the classroom, not everyone has a chance to go and see what they do. With this exhibition they can put it in their resume, they also learn how to set up a show, you know move everything pack everything and follow deadline, that\u2019s what they learn,\u201d Art Professor Fulden Sara Wissinger said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With each piece displayed in Kleberg Bank came inspiration, from paintings of a student with their late father painted onto a towel, to pieces that honor the artist\u2019s culture and beliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo the whole idea behind my pieces is generational trauma, children outgrowing their childlike state and having to confront the real world and kind of forgetting that innocence that they have, but I also like to incorporate religious themes because of my religious background. So that is the main inspiration,\u201d senior art student Denisse De La Cruz said<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like in many other departments on campus, students build connections with professors during their time at the TAMUK\u00a0Art Department, which contributes to their learning process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFulden had a really big impact on me staying at TAMUK, you know she\u2019s great at that. When I switched majors, it was \u2018did I really want to do this?\u2019 But she told me \u2018Hey Ivan, they assigned me as your mentor so just let me know if you need anything.\u2019 I\u2019d always go to her if I had any problems and if I had any questions, she guided me. She saw the passion and grit in me,\u201d senior art student Ivan Cadavona said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Senior Art exhibit will be available for public view at Ben Bailey Gallery until Dec. 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
