While most students chose to chill on the Green yesterday afternoon to enjoy the warm and sunny weather, a dozen were drawn inside by the promise of great student art, delicious cakes and free drinks. Spring’s AREA show, which featured Dartmouth student’s art at the top of the Hop, compensated for its inside status by offering viewers a variety of interesting and impressive pieces.

The art show, the last one of this academic year, features various artwork of different medium, ranging from prints to charcoal drawing to woodwork to sculpture, though most pieces shown were paintings. This AREA show displays work by Kimberly Davis ’11, Natalia Wrobel ’11, Sarah Moore ’11, George Throman ’11, Julia Schneider ’12, Monica Dalmau ’12, Emily Shaw ’12, Julie Fiveash ’13, Luca Molnar ’13 and Ryan Hueston ’14.

Thorman’s sculpture, which resembles pieces of broken iceberg, has an interesting title — Audrey Stinks. Thorman named the piece after his sister Audrey, who is coming to visit him, a friend of Throman’s said. Thorman has also made an animation that addresses his sister in the credits.

“[The Dartmouth Student Art Show] is very cool, there is a chance for students to appreciate others artwork,” attendee Jay Ben Markson ’10 said. “I think there should be more of these opportunities.”
