"It is not just pictures on the wall, it has a lot of variety," said Alvarado, whose work was also featured in the show. "They put their work on fabric, they put their work on glass, water-colored paper holds it really well, and my friend used a napkin as cloth."
"It has a little bit of everything," Carmichael said. "I really like the glass art. I am surprised they got it to stick because usually glass doesn't want to."
Jennifer Ang, a senior marketing major, said she is not planning on being an artist, but the skills she has learned in the class apply to her job.
"I know that a big part of marketing is getting your product out so people see it, so it helps with the advertising, it helps with the creativity, it helps with the visual," Ang said. "It's not just selling things to people. You also have to make things attractive."
Students were venturing through the halls to look at other art shows in the Art Building. The projects of fine arts seniors Crystal Stader and Lydia Richardson and photography graduate student Dina Ropele were all featured in different rooms.
Ropele videotaped herself eating hot dogs on four different occasions and presented the four different videos on four different televisions.
"In the piece, I stage a hot dog-eating contest with myself for eight minutes to see how many hot dogs I can eat," Ropele said. "So, it is kind of referencing a lot of different things: the American consumer culture, food obsession, over consumption and sexual desire because a hot dog is a phallic symbol."
