Last Week of "Expectations" Photography Exhibit In the CPA Gallery
Photography faculty Kip Sudduth along with students from classes ART 131, 142, 143, 234, and 290 have put together a show emphasizing creative vision in photography. Hanging in the CPA gallery till March 18th, 2019, the theme is organized around this quote:
Photography’s supposed objectivity has dominated the evaluation of its role in the arts for almost a century and a half […] The most important control is, of course, the creative photographer’s vision.
-from History of Photography
Artist Statement
“The artistic quality of photography has been the discussion of countless critics and artists since its discovery in the early part of the 19th century. Visualization is the most important aspect of art-making: past, present and future.
I believe this visualization process encourages the active participation of the viewer as well as the artist. Dynamic photographic design acts as a visual catalyst for overall participatory art satisfaction.
This exhibit reprints my students’s and my overall expectation with the art-making process and that satisfaction.”
Kip Sudduth, PVCC Photography Faculty

The Ceramics Lab hosts Visiting Artists
PVCC Ceramics alumni Lynne Hobaica and ceramic artist Rickie Barnett visited the Ceramics Lab to talk about their work, do a live demo and give advice to artists aspiring to full-time careers in the field.
“The pieces become the bodies that I paint stories on. In a way by creating these layers of coils of clay and then adding layers on top of that, it’s sort of almost like a person. We are created by all of the layers of everything we’ve lived through.”
