As participants in Colby\u2019s studio program developed their work for the Senior Art Exhibition this spring, students in my Writing Art Criticism class researched and wrote interpretive essays for the accompanying catalog. In this series of Lantern<\/em> posts my students explore alternative ways of responding to and telling stories about their peers\u2019 work in the digital realm. Taking advantage of the flexibility of The Lantern<\/em>\u2019s format, they experiment with video, sound, the art comic, and the photo essay, among other modes. As they do so, they show us some of the rich possibilities offered by digital publications at a time when the art world increasingly conducts its conversations online.<\/p>\n

In her work in the Senior Art Exhibition,\u00a0The Magical Gift of Amazing Life: An Educational Jigsaw Puzzle for Kids of All Ages<\/i>, Katia\u00a0Nikiforova<\/span>\u00a0creates a space for us to reflect on everyday experience in a consumer culture. Here Keenan Boscoe asks\u00a0Katia to judge whether aspects of our world, from wine tastings to free speech, are over- or underrated.<\/p>\n
