Ventura College Beginning Sculpture Exhibition - Cardboard Chairs

The Beginning Sculpture class enjoyed a wonderful exhibition in the quad on Monday, Nov. 8.  On display were their chairs constructed from cardboard.  Faculty and student body alike stopped by to check it out.  They were invited to speak with the students about their work as well as test the structural integrity of the sculptures by sitting on them.  It was a wonderful first exhibition experience for the students.

Ventura College Beginning Sculpture - Cardboard Chairs

This Beginning Sculpture class project was to construct chairs with some sort of historical reference/influence out of cardboard.  The chair would need to support the artist's weight when completed.   Great results on a challenging assignment.

Sculpture Student Featured in Ventura County Star

The Ventura County Star newspaper recently paid a visit to our sculpture class to feature Daniela Sandelin of Finland in an article on international students.  The article and photos can be found here.

Ventura College One Book One Campus Art Exhibit

Following are several photos from the One Book One Campus opening night reception held on the Ventura College campus October 7, 2010.  The installation, "Baked Potatoes," was a collaborative project produced by the VC ceramic students.  The book and show addresses how a mono-culture affects our daily life. The students symbolized this by creating an installation of the ubiquitous potato - how the same strain of potato can be found in foods across the world.

9/11 Remembrance Installation

The 9/11 Remembrance was an outdoor installation on the Ventura College campus.  This public installation was designed to bring the Ventura College student body together - to create a shared experience between the various disciplines of study.  Participants were asked to write their thoughts on clay tiles provided by the 3D department.  The tiles were then hung from trees.  Shared thoughts - some sorrowful, some patriotic, others angry - were on view for anyone who cared to stop and read.  The installation was a team effort between Ventura College 3D and the ASVC and was timed to coincide with a similar event being held at Oxnard College.

643 A Project Space is pleased to exhibit work by artist Stanton Hunter.
Hunter is repeatedly drawn to site-specific installation work. "I like to approach a space not knowing what I'm going to make or what materials I'll use. One strategy I explore is to look for something in the environment that is mundane or overlooked and find ways to frame it, or point to it. In this way the ordinary can be exposed as extraordinary."
