Expression One student, Liz Michalec, received the second highest grade in her class on a three dimensional collagraph of a nude woman nose to knees. Generally the most outstanding projects are displayed in the hallway. Liz's was not. According to art teacher Mr. Alderson, there is no guarantee that a student's work will be displayed, as there is display room for less than half of the works. In class he tries not to limit students' creativity. As long as there is meaning behind why an artist does something, it is acceptable. But art created purely for the purpose of shock value might be technically sound, but inappropriate for display. Although he did not indicate that Liz's work was created for the purpose of shocking viewers, the decision not to display the collagraph was his alone, and concern over viewer sensitivities was on his mind. The same collagraph was entered in an art contest at Randhurst where it received a ribbon. All honored artwork was to be displayed at the mall. Liz, however, may be again deprived of the opportunity to have her work displayed, although the decision is not yet final. Once again, concern for the sensitivity of some viewers may limit the ability of others to see her work.

Tastes vary, making decisions about appropriateness difficult. This painting made the cut and was placed on display with only slight objection. A collagraph by Liz Michalec has won honors, but has not been displayed photo by Mike Tomassi
