Student Work

School of Visual Arts

At ��Ĵ�ý's School of Visual Arts, our students grow as artists as they develop their skills in illustration, painting, digital art, photography, and more. While students learn about the history of their craft and the visionaries who preceded them, they discover their own creative voices. At ��Ĵ�ý, students find new ways to tell their stories and share their unique perspectives of the world around them. Here are just a few examples of their work.

Shall We Go to the Happy Land?
Young Kim MFA ’23
This installation seeks to create a space of serenity for its viewers – and imagines viewers as active participants in generating peace for themselves and one another.
Entitlement
Kaitlyn Krueger ’23
“Entitlement” is a critique of the prevalence of sexual aggression toward women, AFAB, and feminine-presenting people in the U.S. These photographic portraits of individuals and their living spaces are covered in a layer of wax and red paint. The final presentation is a viewer-led interactive piece, where viewers can scratch off the cover with a variety of tools, revealing the portrait underneath.
The Journey
Nathan Bieneman ’24
Nathan Bieneman, a Photography student, collaborated on this photo essay with artist Dawi Opara, who sells his art and poetry at the Maxwell Street market in Chicago. Bieneman sought to investigate Dawi’s journey as an artist and to leave a legacy behind for Dawi's children.
