The Art and Ceramics Sale, provided by the Art Department at Moorpark College, showed just how creative and talented its students are.

The two day sale captivated students and faculty alike and was able to help support nation wide causes. Located in the Applied Arts building, hundreds of ceramic pieces, paintings, drawings, photos and jewelry scattered the tables for people to browse, view and purchase.

Art and ceramic students were able to design their individual pieces, making them unique and one of a kind. From there, they were able to set their own prices.

According to Donna Scott, one of the professors in charge of the sale, an estimated $6,000 will be made. The money then gets broken down into an 80-20 ratio with 80 percent going to the students and 20 percent going back into the Art Department.

This semester, some students donated their pieces to a specific cause to help Nepal, with the recent earthquake that hit the country. The sale had a separate table and 100 percent of those funds went directly to the country.

The amount of creativity and passion that went into all the pieces really stood out to shoppers, and of course honored art majors.

Nadia Skidanov, a 17-year-old business major really enjoyed talking to all the people that came through the art sale.

“I love talking to the people,” said Skidanov. “My favorite part is looking at all the pieces because they are so inspiring.”

Max Roberson, a second year history major, said that he knew that there would be some cool and interesting pieces.

“A lot of this stuff in a store would normally be really expensive,” said Roberson, implying that the prices at the sale were relatively reasonable.

“The sale allows the Art Department to demonstrate what really goes on,” said Robertson. “It encompasses a lot of people’s ideas and creativity.”
