INDOOR RECESS
INDOOR RECESS FEATURED THE CULMINATING PROJECTS OF 14 WILLIAMS COLLEGE STUDIO ART MAJORS.
THE TITLE AND VISUAL IDENTITY OF INDOOR RECESS DRAWS INSPIRATION FROM THE PLAYFUL CREATIVITY OF THE STUDIO ART CLASS OF 2023 HONORS COHORT AND THEIR SHARED STUDIO SPACE. THE TYPE WAS HAND-DRAWN BY A COHORT MEMBER AND DIGITALLY TRANSCRIBED FOR USE IN ADVERTISEMENTS.
THE LOGOTYPE FOR THE EXHIBITION WAS RENDERED DIRECTLY ONTO THE WALL IN GRAPHITE PENCIL. THE REFLECTIVE QUALITIES OF GRAPHITE PENCIL, AS OPPOSED TO WALL VINYL, PAINT, OR OTHER OPTIONS, ACCENTUATES THE WALL'S TEXTURE, EVOKING THE WALLS OF THE COHORT'S STUDIO SPACE. THE MEDIUM ALSO CONJURES THE BEGINNING OF AN ARTIST'S JOURNEY, WHICH CONTRASTS WITH THE SENIORS' CAPSTONE PROJECT TO SYMBOLIZE NEW BEGINNINGS AND THE TRANSITION FROM EARLY ARTISTIC EXPLORATION TO ADVANCED WORK.
