If you’re looking for a selection of two-dimensional and three-dimensional artwork hand-picked by Lakeland’s own art professors, look no further than the body of work on display from the Annual Student Art Exhibition in the Bradley lobby.

The art will be on display until May 22. While you’re there, take some time to see some of the award-winning pieces.

Guests at the exhibition were encouraged to vote on the piece that would win the People’s Choice Award. The crowd chose Hiroe Terasawa’s colored pencil drawing of Johnny Depp for the award. Terasawa created the incredibly detailed portrait in an illustration class and received an honorable mention for the same piece. She received a second honorable mention for her colorful still life painting featuring a flower and three oranges.

The first place Best of Show award, chosen by the art department faculty, went to Zhiheng Gu for what Bill Weidner, associate professor of art, calls “Triple Self Portrait with Earbuds.” The painting shows three images of Gu in a fanciful landscape including oversized earbuds. Gu says that sometimes when he is painting he loses focus, and he credits music with helping him to regain that focus.

The art faculty awarded second place to Tyler Holman for his pastel drawing of a dog on a bed. Holman’s work often exhibits fresh perspectives on commonplace objects, as further evidenced by his honorable mention for a print featuring the image of a shutter.

Third place was given to Timothy Wiverstad for his quirky seven panel digital art, which he has titled “Beautiful Gentleman.” Wiverstad says he enjoys working with bright colors and dripping paint, which is how the digital art appears. Wiverstad also received an honorable mention for his printed self portrait with Britney Spears.

Other honorable mentions went to Katie LaPlaunt for her self portrait drawing, Yuko Mamiya for her printed “Self Portrait with Wings,” and Jake Belknap for his “Self Portrait with Grenade.”

Weidner; Denise Presnell-Weidner, associate professor of art; and Mark Weber, adjunct instructor of art, selected over 400 pieces for the show from their students’ best work. The work on display represents students with a variety of majors and minors.

In a statement introducing the exhibition, Belknap said that “the viewer’s reaction is arguably the most rewarding part of creating art.”

The students seemed excited to show their peers what they had been working on all school year, which Belknap said was “driven by passion, hard work, and the support of fellow artists.”
