Reed Anderson OS30 resident visiting artist. Anderson's solo exhibition The Way You Look Is the Way I Feel at Pierogi Gallery in Brooklyn, New York is March 21-April 27, 2014. This is his fourth show at Pierogi and will feature the synthesis of two series; his exuberant cut paintings on paper, as he refers to them, and his on-going "Papa Object" project. Anderson describes his process as additive and self-generating. He prefers to allow the evidence of the making of the works - both the hand and the process - to remain. Throughout the making of these works they are in constant flux, a dance between cutting, painting, and collaging. For more on Anderson's work go to www.reedanderson.info.

Advice I would give to future students is to just do it and come to Oxbow and not overthink it because it will most likely (99.9%) be the best decision you have made in your life.

Oxbow School is one of the preeminent choices for creative high school students interested in the arts. Their project-based, integrated approach to learning mirrors the approach of many top art schools. At California College of the Arts, we are thrilled to see applicants who have attended Oxbow because we know they are well prepared for the rigors of college level work. I wish there had been an Oxbow School when I was a high school student!

Artistically, I learned a lot of new techniques and mediums while here. I had access to much more than before and I made the most of it. I tried everything I could and always talked to my teachers and peers about new ways I could make art. Every so often, I completely stepped out of my comfort zone. Experimenting with technique and testing my artistic boundaries has helped me realize how many paths I have to choose from in the art world and that makes me excited for the future.
