Columbia College Art Show Results

Sponsored by:

Toward the end of each academic school year, Columbia College´s art students get an opportunity to exhibit their works at a Juried Student Art & Photography Show.

This year´s competition, the 29th, is on display through May 16 in the Rotunda of the college´s Manzanita Building. Rotunda hours are Monday to Thursday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Judge John Claes of Turlock used works with an emotional impact as his criteria. This was evident in the Best of Show winner, Amanda Winter´s mixed media painting “Apples and Pears.” Emotion is evoked through the use of chiaroscuro, or the strong contrast of dark to light. Seen from a distance, small white rings seem to float in a murky, dark haze. On closer view, the objects emerge as a still life.
