Spring 2013 Schedule
This morning in my advanced painting course, Critical Response in Painting, my friend Christina did a presentation on the above artist, Austin Power. While visual arts courses at Bennington are about creating and presenting student work, they’re also about exploring the art world at large, and because of that, I’ve been able to find new artists that I find inspiring that I would have most likely never heard of otherwise. Now, thanks to Christina, I have a new artist that I find exciting, and I can’t wait to look further at his work.
