VENTURA, CA - Twenty-four students from creative writing, composition and literature classes have had their work selected for publication in the 2009 edition of the VC Voices. Of more than 100 pieces submitted for consideration, these selections were chosen for the anthology magazine after three rounds of judging by a committee of English faculty. The edition offers a wide variety of themes and genres. The publication is funded by the Associated Students of Ventura College, with assistance of the graphic design department and the on-campus Canon Business Solutions printing facility. The magazine is utilized in more than twenty classes as a teaching tool, and will be available for purchase from the Ventura College Bookstore this month. The winning students’ work was read and the students honored at a gathering in May. Award-winning works from nine art and photography students were selected to accent the publication. Editor Jennifer Garcia, English instructor noted that examples of descriptive narratives, argument and research essays, literary analysis and short fiction are all available in the collection. Art styles selected also cover a wide range, including watercolor, pencil drawing, mixed media, photography and ceramics. Those students so honored are: Artists: |
