The Clinton Community College Library Art Gallery is hosting an exhibit of pieces by CCC students through February 2024. Artwork includes paintings and drawings using a variety of techniques. The community is invited to attend an Artist Reception on Wednesday, February 7, at 4:00 p.m. The Library Art Gallery is open Monday through Thursday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The location is CCC main campus, 1000 Lincoln Boulevard, Clinton, IA.
The CCC students participating in the exhibit include Michael Asaadi, Jack Dollar, Allen Eberle, Gideon Mussmann, and Haley Snyder. Their work in the gallery was created by 2-D Design students, under the instruction of Nicole Davis, during the Fall 2023 semester. Students were tasked with using the elements and principles of design, along with problem-solving to create two-dimensional pictorial designs, using a variety of media.
Editor’s note: The photo shows “Rise,” created by Michael Asaadi.
Davis said of the exhibit, “The students rose to the challenge time and time again, to create the work presented in the gallery. As their Instructor, I am extremely proud of their willingness to stretch outside of their comfort zones to acquire new skills and explore conceptual development. They were a joy to work with!”
CCC President Dr. Brian Kelly commented, “Our students have produced some amazing art and continue to grow as artist as the year progresses. It’s a wonderful process to watch. I am really impressed with this exhibit.”
