Redhawk art students get yet another opportunity to flex their art muscle as students prepare for an on-campus art gallery.

For art student, senior Tuhina Das, one of the core pieces of putting together an art gallery is ensuring that all pieces look cohesive and unified, usually achieved by placing black paper behind each work.

“One thing that’s very big and important about putting pieces up for a gallery is… you have to hang them up right,” Das said. “So, usually, what we’ll do is we want to make them look nice and unified.”

But the end goal of the art gallery isn’t just to teach art students how to curate a gallery; rather, it’s an opportunity for art students to share their work and see how their peers interact with it.

“I think it’s always beneficial for any artist to show their work,” art teacher Emily Delarios said. “It’s one thing to make something and you have an idea of how that might come across to people, but you won’t really understand how people are going to view your work until you actually give them an opportunity to do that.”
