Several foundation/2-D Design and painting students contributed their time and talents in an effort to decorate downtown Georgetown with funky, whimsical snowmen and snowwomen. On view throughout the holiday season, the display features 54 snowmen - all individually decorated by Scott County artists.

The themed, "public sculptures" will be auctioned off in February, with proceeds benefiting several charities. Fifteen GC art students contributed ten snowmen to this worthwhile effort. The styles ranged from natural and basic to artificial, complex, and ornate. Twigs and a plaid scarf ornament the snowman from “Twisted Twigs”; in contrast, splattered paint (in the style of Jackson Pollock) greets customers at Central Bank.

Bernice, 2004
Media: paint, glitter and glue, buttons, bells, artificial flowers, doll hair, garland, and bows on wood.

Bernice was created to present Georgetown with a festive addition for the holidays. Because she is representing Foley’s, a real estate agency, she wears miniature house buttons to represent the comfort we all enjoy at home. We hope that your home is full of comfort and joy this Christmas season.

Mrs. Luigi, 2004
Media: acrylic and latex paint on wood, fabric, twine

This snowman was made for Fava’s and is based on the Fava’s chef, Luigi. We made a female to match him, complete with a spatula in her hand. We made a movable sign which can be painted to match the seasons.

Uncle Snowsam, 2004
Media: acrylic and latex paints on wood, metal

Uncle Snowsam’s theme was influenced by the large quantity of American-styled objects in Country Peddler Gifts. Emphasis is placed on the Americana theme by the use of rustic “found objects” – a birdhouse, pinwheel, and a strand of metal flags. The artist also used a simple snowman design – button eyes and mouth, a scarf, and a hand-carved wooden “carrot” nose to keep the snowman traditional.

Sold, 2004
Media: paint, popsicle sticks, sandpaper, doorstop, drawer knobs, pre-bought Christmas decorations on wood

Because we were constructing the snowman for a real estate company, we decided to go with a household theme. We used objects commonly found in a home and made the snowman look like a house from top to bottom. We decided to decorate the house in a Christmas theme for the upcoming holiday. We also incorporated the Hamilton ERA “Sold” sign.

Sticks & Plaid, 2004
Media: twigs on wood, spray paint, glue, fishing line, plaid material

We decided to keep to the natural theme of Twisted Twigs. By using twigs and sticks found in nature we were able to capture the true essence of wood on wood. Not only did the snowman please our taste, but we think it will be pleasurable to the community as well.
