“A SENSE OF PLACE” A COLLABORATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBIT:

“A SENSE OF PLACE” My World and Welcome to It is the title of a series of exhibitions that have come about through the collaboration between the Viewpoint Gallery’s Studio Art Project and the photography department at Niskayuna High School. This current exhibition, My World and Welcome to It: A Sense of Place is the third collaboration between the two.

A “sense of place” is the attribution of non-material characteristics to a place.

It is the “soul” of the place.

Adult Studio Art project students and teen-aged high school students were each given the same problem: to visual convey a “sense of place” by utilizing Adobe Photoshop in the construction of a composite work of art. As the adult students have very little experience with computers, not to mention Adobe Photoshop, each was teamed up with one or two teenage mentors. This exhibition is the result of their work alone and together.

Begun in June of 2002, by the Viewpoint Gallery at Sunnyview Rehabilitation Hospital, the Studio Art Project provides an art program for disabled students that promote creativity, independence, dignity, and community integration. The project has been designed to offer fundamental material use, technique, and art history, in a compassionate, supportive and inspiring environment. Classes meet weekly.

For more information, check out the Sunnyview website at www.sunnyview.org or pick-up a brochure at the front door reception desk.

A reception was held May 23, 2007, in Sunnyview Hospital’s Viewpoint Gallery. The following Advanced Art Students Participated:

Hannah Blasting	Benjamin Pliss
Lora Colose	Olivia Privitera
Samuel Fisher	Krysten Riley
Arti Fotedar	Erin Roche
Mischala Hemerding	Stephanie Rodriguez
Justin Macshane	Racheal Yoder
Gregg Mireau

This project has been made possible in part through the Community Art$ Grant, a program funded through the Local Partnership Program of the New York State Council on the Arts and the Arts Center for the Capital Region.

NISK-ART MAGAZINE CLUB:

The Nisk-Art Magazine Club annually produces a Niskayuna High School student Art and Literary Magazine. Students are involved in fund-raising activities from the beginning of the school year to raise money for the publication of the magazine in the spring. Students from grades 9 – 12 submit artwork and literature to be judged and selected by club members for the magazine. Selected artwork is photographed and literature is retyped and placed into a page layout software program. Student club members edit and proof the final layout before sending it to a professional printer. Students sell the new edition at various school events to raise funds for the next year’s publication. This process teaches students the reality of creating and publishing a professional magazine, from the financial, the artistic, to the editorial. It is a very rewarding experience for students and advisors.
