From Oct. 21 until Nov. 9, Clarke College will be displaying artwork from several different schools. Only three students from each school were selected, and each student is only allotted two pieces. The three students from our school are Katy Fishnick, Bre Honkomp, and Larissa Wilming. Katy Fishnick’s pieces are entitled “Dragon” and “Guitars.” She used acrylic paint to create her masterpieces. Katy Fishnick says that her inspiration was, “My guitars hanging on my wall. I have been fascinated by dragons, and I love the freedom to draw them anyway I want.” Bre Honkomp’s pieces are titled “Pastel Dragons” and “Sea Serpent.” She used clay and glaze for “Pastel Dragons” and paper mache with acrylic paint for “Sea Serpent”. Bre Honkomp’s inspiration was from previous drawings she had made. Larissa Wilming’s pieces are “Clarinet” and “Instrument Medley.” She used mixed media and acrylic paint for her projects. Her inspiration was, “My love of music.” After speaking to the three students, I asked Mrs. Vicki Recker, Western Dubuque’s art instructor, how she choose the pieces. She said, “We went through photos of all the pieces from last year’s school art show, and chose the strong pieces from the underclassmen.” Everybody is invited to attend, and students interested in art are encouraged to go.
