BFA Design student Alicia Liu photographed random outfits of people on the same day to explore how people's clothing reflects the weather. Yet, the weather fluctuates so people wear really differently, which she found interesting.

A still life done by SVA student Amber Dacanay in her Painting I class under the instruction of George Boorujy; the class was encouraged to continue enhancing the painting outside of scheduled class time to resolve it. The title of "Pig Vesuvius" was inspired by a comment from my instructor regarding my composition, calling it a "volcano of pigs."
