(an educational odyssey)
In January 2020, Cornish College of the Arts Foundations students began a semester-long class in research and exhibition design. They visited local exhibitions, examined relationships between and among works of visual art, and worked with video, graphics, text and space across the disciplines of Film, Animation, Design, Illustration, Interior Architecture, and Art. They were learning, in short, how research helps support and inspire the work required to mount and promote an exhibition. They even settled on a weighty theme: narrative and process, with a playful show title: Children of the Corn.
The shift to remote learning in the second half of the semester meant, though, that we could no longer build a physical exhibition to showcase work from across the Foundations year. And so we pivoted, moving our collaborative exhibition online.
We present here, in digital form, the work of these outstanding first-year visual arts students. We also give you a taste of what their 2019-2020 academic year has looked like and offer a glimpse of what they envision for themselves ahead.
A big thank you to rising sophomore Sarah Hamzic for building the bones of the website, Cornish Marketing team for their help, and all of the students and faculty who contributed to this effort. And thank you, thank you, family and friends of these students, whose support is central.
