Small Heads, Big Talent in Judith Taylor Student Gallery
By Jordyn Austin ’14
Tired of staring at textbooks during your marathon study session in the library? Want to feast your eyes on something a whole lot more attractive than formulas? Then wander down to the lower level of the Landman Library where an exhibit, No Big Heads, is being featured through Feb. 11 in the Judith Taylor Student Gallery. The show features works by 26 Arcadia students and is of self-portraits no larger than 12” x 12.” A variety of styles and medias are on display, ranging from classics such as charcoal and oil paints to encaustic dry paint, photography, and intaglio-type printing.
