Every year Grand View University has a Fine Arts Competition held on campus. The faculty brings in a guest judge to choose the best work that Grand View students have created this year. The judging process is done in front of an audience, anyone who wants to attend can watch the judge critique and choose what will be put up in the Gallery for the remainder of the semester. All art students are encouraged to enter pieces of their choice. This years judge was Daniel Wiess, a very respected artist and teacher in the Des Moines area. He chose over 40 pieces to be included in the 2010 Fine Arts Show and I am proud to say 5 of those were mine and two of mine won Merit Awards. I included photos of a few pieces that are my personal favorites done by other students and photos of the pieces he choose of mine.
