The Crossroads Upper School Visual Art Department is excited to present the student-themed exhibition nar•ra•tive [ner-ə-tiv]. In this exhibition, Upper School Level 3 students in ceramics, graphic design & animation, studio art, and photography create artworks that explore the ways in which art intersects with various forms of storytelling. In the spirit of adaptation, Graphic Design and Animation students have used written content as inspiration to create a digital illustration series, design-based series (posters, cover design, etc), or animated pieces (either character based or motion graphics). In Studio Art 3 students created drawings inspired by both comic books and fine artists such as Amy Sillman and Ida Applebrog. Reflecting on how storytelling has affected their lives both historically and culturally Ceramics students worked collaboratively to tell a story exploring how experiences can be unique and universal. Photography students explored crafting a visual story through vignettes using personal history, fictional characterization, or documenting surrounding spaces and activities around them.
