A few weeks ago, I had the chance to photograph the senior art showcase for students majoring in digital and studio art. As someone who’s also majoring in digital arts, it was an incredible experience to witness the final projects of students who are just one year ahead of me.
Walking through the space, I was surrounded by such a wide range of creativity. From digital pieces and mixed media to paintings and sculptures, every work had so much personality and passion behind it. You could tell how much time and heart each artist poured into their final pieces, celebrating their journey.
What really stood out to me were the people. The room was full of students, faculty, friends, and family, all there to support and celebrate. As I moved around capturing photos, I noticed how many people were genuinely moved by what they were seeing.
For me, it wasn’t just about documenting the event. It was a glimpse into where I’ll be in a year, and it gave me a whole new wave of motivation. Seeing what these seniors accomplished reminded me why I love this field and what I have to look forward to.
So glad it served to motivate you! It is really important to have a model in your head as you move into senior year. Visiting the opening reception is the best way to do that for Digital Arts and Studio Arts students.
And thanks for stepping in to cover the event. I know the message got to you last minute! 🙏
