FORT KENT — The University of Maine at Fort Kent’s Blake Library Gallery will feature “Look Again, What We See Matters” the work of students in Therese Provenzano’s Art 200 Fundamental of Art class. The exhibition will be on display through Saturday, May 4.
Lacy Cyr of Caribou is one of over a dozen students featured in the exhibition, which is comprised of drawings and paintings using various wet and dry materials.
“Students were challenged throughout their coursework with developing their imagination, perception, observation, and problem-solving skills. They were required to observe again and imagine more,” said Provenzano. The requirements did not direct to draw a line perfectly the very first time. Instead, they were instructed to engage with the process of making their work, to find that line. Overall, they were required to find and see what matters.”
Other students represented in the exhibition are: Devon Brewer of Lisbon Falls; Shannon Chasse of Fort Kent; Hannah Cutler of Appleton; Francis Folsom of Augusta; Taylor Fox of East Millinocket; Rebecca Knowlton of Greenville; Destiny Lizotte of Auburn; Briana Moore of Lisbon; Alain Morin of St. Agatha; Brianna Pease of Lewiston; Katelyn Pelletier of Fort Kent; Meagan Raymond of Fort Kent; Kayla Richards of Presque Isle; and Shelagh Van Anglen of Daphne, Alabama.
This is the first exhibition to be showcased in the newly renovated Blake Library Gallery. Funds for the renovation were made possible by the University of Maine at Fort Kent Foundation.
