Welcome back! A new semester is under way and we'd like to know what you did this summer. Our second student interview is with AIB Fine Arts major Danielle Kelly '13.

What did you do this summer?

I spent the summer living in and biking around Boston. I was working for AIB Admissions, Residence Life, and the Cambridge Community Arts Center. At the CAC I served on staff to assistant with art camp programing for elementary and middle schoolers.

Did you get to make new work? If so, what did you work on? 

I was able to start a few new printmaking projects, but mostly I worked on sketch book drawings and watercolors.

 

Are you glad to be back at AIB? 

I am so excited to have everyone back on campus and in classes. I really missed working in the studios late at night with friends.

What are you taking this semester?

This semester I am taking Advanced Projects in Printmaking, Advanced Projects in Sculpture, and The Nude, as well as two Lesley courses: World Geography and World Music.

Finally, what would you like to accomplish this year at AIB?

Last year my classes were divided amongst all the Fine Arts studios. While I enjoyed experimenting will many mediums I feel as though I could not draw connects between my classes and projects. This year I hope to narrow in my focus as I build a more cohesive body of work in preparation for my senior year studios.

 

Welcome back! A new semester is under way and we'd like to know what you did this summer. Our first student interview is with AIB Fine Arts major Sally Lemaire '12.

 

What did you do this summer?

This summer I worked on staff at an adoptee camp called Holt Camp. The camp was for children who are internationally adopted from ages 9-16.

 

Did you get to make new work? If so, what did you work on? 

At the beginning of the summer I tried my best to squeeze in as much work as I could before I left to work. I really want to push my portrait work further so I worked on portraits of my
two brothers and myself.

 

 

Are you glad to be back at AIB? 

I am glad to be back for my senior year at AIB!

 

What are you taking this semester?

I am taking Senior Studio I, Professional Development, Women in Art, Adv. Figure Painting, and Complementary, Integrative, and Alternative Medicine.

 

Finally, what would you like to accomplish this year at AIB?

This year at AIB I would like to accomplish a strong body of work for my senior show. I hope to really push my creativity level and comfort zone in order to find my own style.

Congratulations to AIB alumnus Quinton Bemiller ’00. Quinton has accepted a new position as Director of the Kellogg University Gallery at Cal Poly Pomona, California.  One of his goals for the gallery is to increase its visibility and interaction with the Los Angeles art community.  

Quinton will be working at the Kellogg on a half-time basis, which will allow him to continue teaching at Chaffey College.  For information on exhibitions at the Kellogg University Gallery click here.
