ollege art students display creative talents
a higher quality in the works.
Scharbach has also considered
teaching art after her school is
completed.
Jeanne Ferron, art student
and part-time secretary for the
art department, works in many
mediums of art.
She is well
versed in clay, wood, metal and
ink washes.
"This is my hobby, you might
say," Ferron said.
Ferron is
submitting three pieces to the
May 22 student art show. These
include a picture from the de
sing class, a drawing, and the
wood relief carving pictured.
"It (the lion) started out to
be a half-dragon, half-lion, but
then became so intricate and
regal, I decided to leave it all
lion", Ferron said. The lion was
carved completely by hand with
black walnut wood. The finish
ed product will be oiled to bring
out the wood color.
Ferron is currently taking
Pearson's Super Graphics class.
The works are copies of famous
paintings by Van Gogh and
others. They are painted on a
large wall using a multitude of
colors and techniques.
"Norm Bursheim will be able
to use the famous works as
visual aides," Ferron said.
Ferron has traveled the Uni
ted States extensively and re
turned to Oregon City. "I love
art at CCC," she said.
The College has regenerated
Dennis Burbridge's interest in
school. Burbridge, a frustrated
high school dropout, said "I
didn't think school was for me.
So I learned at the 'school of
hard knocks'.
The 'hard knocks' school
didn't teach him all he needed to
know to support a family. Bur
bridge is also working towards a
teaching degree at the College.
Although Burbridge feels The
College art department is in need
of more funds, positive things
are going on. He praises Art
History instructor Norm Bur
sheim for ability to communi
cate his art feelings to the stu
dents.
The art show is a chance to
experience The College's are de
partment in a pleasant atmos
phere while getting to know staff
and students.
