emerging artist emily gill wins award, new poll up on damuse
Canadian Emily Gill was recently selected as this year’s first place winner of the Sixth National Student Jewellery Competition at Lafreniere and Pai Gallery in Ottawa, Canada. A 2009 graduate of Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, Gill’s enamel broochs with removable elements are another fine example of jewelry that does double-duty. The removable elements in the two pieces pictured here appear to be pins. To see more of this emerging artist’s work view the slideshow below and visit her page on the Metal Arts Guild of Canada. Hot stuff!

student work: clark university
In the last three weeks I have heard from five high school and college art teachers who are sending students to DaMuse to study the art featured, the materials used or, as one said, to “experience an informed choice that evidences an interesting and personal point of view celebrating excellence.”
At Clark University, Daily Art Muse is part of the course material for an art class taught by Valerie Claff. She recently wrote and shared these images of an installation piece created by her students after they studied this blog and a film about Andy Goldsworthy.

After looking at the use of materials on your blog, books – “Natural Architecture” for one – and “Rivers and Tides”, the film about Andy Goldsworthy we had a field trip…to make installations. I divided the class randomly into 3 groups of 4. They picked a word from a hat and were assigned to make an installation based on that word. The three words were “shelter”, “embrace” and “flow”. It was a great day and I was quite impressed with the work. Folks from the community came by and were so inspired by the work, they’ve asked if we can do a day here for them! Love it when art inspires…. Valerie Claff
