The Studio Rats, Daytona State College\u2019s art club, held its art show the first week of November for the public to enjoy. Each year, the club puts its work on view at the end of the fall and spring terms and works contniue on display through the end of each semester.
\nThe theme this semester was \u201cLucid Dreaming\u201d and it was carried out through the decorations and various types of artwork. Studio Rats was just started two years ago, but every semester they have held a show.
\n\u201cWe begin talking about the art show about two or three weeks into the semester,\u201d said Ryan Holland, secretary of the club. \u201cThen we all make a list of themes and decide from there.\u201d
\nLast spring the theme was \u201cfantasy works based on books and movies,\u201d said Hanh Nguyen, a member of Studio Rats from the start.
\nWalking through the hall of studio arts, in building 520, observers will see a set-up of a bedroom with lights everywhere and a tree at the entrance of the hallway that lead to the display room. Inside the room are pictures along the wall of various pieces of artwork and in the center are multiple displays of pottery.
\nAll members of the club, as well as non-members, were encouraged to submit pieces of art that reflected what lucid dreaming meant to them and it could be any type of art. Hannah Cruz, a comic artist, painted multiple panels of canvas and placed them around each other to create a storyboard. Bernard Postell used his digital images using \u201ca touchpad tablet and Photoshop Elements, which is a photo editing program.\u201d
\nThere were no boundaries to what the students could use and some pieces were even up for sale by the artist.
\nIn addition to unique artworks, the opening offered refreshments provided by the art preofessors and some of the students.
\n\u201cIf you are in the club you had to help out with the decorations and setting up for the show,\u201d said Alex Schouten, club President. \u201cIt took about four weeks altogether to get everything ready.\u201d
\nAnyone interested in joining Studio Rats can attend its meetings, which are every Tuesday at 12:30 p.m. in building 520, room 111a.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
