Students Display Artistic Gifts at Campus Art Show
In an environment dedicated to the study of the liberal arts, the Thomas Aquinas College, California, community recently spent a week appreciating its creative artists.
On an autumn Saturday, the campus art club hosted an exhibition on the academic quad. Weeks prior, students and faculty alike submitted visual art of any kind for display at the forefront of St. Bernardine Library.
Though the visual arts are not a focus of the College's classical curriculum, the California campus is brimming with artistic talent, and the semesterly art show provided an opportunity for artists to showcase their expertise.
The exhibition featured original pieces of all sorts of media, from graphite, to paint, to watercolor, to photography, all depicting people, nature, or scenes from everyday life. Tutor Dr. Chris Decaen presented two of his personal projects: a magnificent oil painting titled “Assumption,” and a charcoal sketch titled “St. Thomas Aquinas in contemplation.”
“I’m very impressed at how good it all is,” marveled Mary Chumbe (’26). “This needs to be shown to everyone!” Throughout the week, students stopped by the library to observe the art on display, pointing out their favorite pieces and admiring their peers’ talent.
“These casual opportunities to create art, and then share it with each other, are restful for the individual student and bonding for the community as a whole,” explained Kaitlyn Gallagher (’26), head of the art club.
