Please join us for this celebration of creativity and student accomplishment. Hors d'oeuvres will be served.
This exhibition showcases the work of Humanities Core students who submitted artworks for the Humanities Core Arts Competition. Students created original works of art that are centered on the theme: “Reimagine. Revise. Reclaim.” Now in its ninth year, the Arts Competition encourages students to engage in creative, experiential learning; to extend their understanding from art as objectual to art as experiential. Understood in this way, the creative experience of art helps students connect to humanistic inquiry, their own humanity, and diverse communities. It occasions creative connections between students, their ideas, and the public.
The 9th annual Humanities Core Arts Competition, sponsored by Humanities Core and UCI Illuminations, encourages Humanities Core students to interpret course themes through artistic expression. Students can submit art works in any medium for a prize. This year, Humanities Core students were invited to submit original works of art in any medium – including photography, original musical composition, and dance – that are centered on the theme Reimagine. Revise. Reclaim. This theme is a springboard for students to expand upon Humanities Core ideas, texts, visual images, artists, narratives, and experiences that have inspired their curiosity, creativity, and sense of connection.
