This week at Oxbow, students have been working on Project X as well as wrapping up their Walden experiment and technical papers. While it has been a stressful week for the students at Oxbow, there has been a lot of learning experience and growth artistically and intellectually. For Project X, students have randomly picked their studio (New Media, Painting, Printmaking, or Sculpture) and have been creating their art works after extensive testing (information redacted...alumni know that Project X is a secret until its launch!). For most, they have stepped out of their comfort zone and explored a completely foreign medium. It has definitely been difficult, but nevertheless has been worth the work. Within the next few weeks, students will be wrapping up their art piece and getting ready for a new research project with Humanities! To relax and get their minds off of the loads of work, students have been screening movies in the library, going on advisory trips to museums, and playing in the rain. Hopefully, the incredible amount of rain will slow down within the next week and we can enjoy the aftermath with our well-fed plants. Cross your fingers for a warm and sunny last-half of March at Oxbow!
