The Green Student Art Show, which opened on Oct. 13 and is located on the first floor of the Henderson Campus Center in the Doane Hall of Art, does just that — uses artwork to increase awareness about current environmental issues. The show was organized by Thompson, who serves as vice president of the Student Art Society and member on the board of SEA. Thompson curated the first Green Student Art Show in conjunction with the Wild and Scenic Film Festival, an event held annually in the Shafer Auditorium that displays short films that raise awareness about global environmental matters. The featured art pieces will remain on display until Nov. 5. “It’s the first year that I’ve been a part of (the film festival), and they have, in the past, really wanted students to also be a part of it in a lot of different ways,” Thompson said. “Either with Rene Benoit, ’20, created digital art using Adobe helping out with activities or even producing their own films that Photoshop technology and overlaying images of we could show in the queue of films that we have been given by environmental damage with images of human bodies. the national organization.” of her digital artwork to the show.
