As the semester comes to an end, many students get the opportunity to show off their skills acquired throughout the semester at a month long gallery on campus.

“It is a great opportunity for students to show their work and also enhance their skills,” said Marilyn Moran, Gallery organizer. “Not to mention that it also looks great on their resume.”

Over sixty entries were judged and selected by professionals to be exposed at Skyline’s very own gallery. The art show ranges from photography, sculptures, paintings, drawings and even videos.

This is a yearly event used to support and recognize Skyline students for all of their hard work. After being judged and selected by prestigious art professionals, they get recognized at a yearly ceremony.

Although this is a great opportunity for Skyline students, the gallery is not limited to enrolled students; people from the community and students from other schools are welcome to appreciate and might even be able to compete.

“It has been delightfully busy, with people visiting from different schools creating community awareness,” Moran said.

Most of the art work selected from the show is made by Skyline students, according to Moran; Skyline is the lead college in San Mateo County.

Janny Rodriguez, a Skyline student, was honored to know that two different pieces of her work got chosen. It is important for students to have the opportunity to show their work because it becomes part of their learning process.

“It is a learning experience for all of us, we get good critiques from professionals,” Rodriguez said. “Every one has the chance to see different types of talent that students might have.”

The show has had a great outcome so far, according to Moran. The show has been visited by many people. She expects to have even more people from the community to show some appreciation.

At the show they have great variety of work, from a sculpture of former president Bush to various abstract paintings.

“I love the variety, we have all types and shapes of art, everybody can submit their own special work,” Rodriguez said.
