The Student Art Show includes a variety of work created in a wide range of media. The show provides a unique glimpse into the educational and aesthetic philosophy advocated by El Camino College and illustrates a diversity characteristic of the contemporary art world. The majority of the works in the gallery are grounded in an academic approach to art study and training.
