4 The Clackamas Print Wednesday, February 21,1996 Feature New members inducted into Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society Janes fc Jan Raberfs ï BRINGING HOME THE BACON Some movie buffs claim that Kevin Bacon is the center of the movie world. They “prove” this through Baconization, where one actor is linked to another via common movies. They say they can start with any actor and eventually get to Kevin Bacon. For example, an easy start would be Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt starred in “Interview with the Vampire” with Tom Cruise, who starred in a “Few Good Men” with Kevin Bacon. I’ve started a new list with Paul Newman. Based on the hints I’ve given, can you reconstruct the chain? photo by Marlin Fouse Phi Theta Kappa inductees were recognized last week in McLoughlin Theatre.

Student Art Show a display of diversity here at Clackamas Joel P. Shempert Staff Writer Dozens of student drawings, paintings, and other artworks were carried over from the Art Center on Feb. 14 and posted in the Pauling Gallery for the annual Student Art Show. The show, to which all stu dents in all art classes are encour aged to contribute, is an excep tional outlet of exposure for the “new blood” of local artistic tal ent. There’s just something excit ing about having your work dis played on a wall for everyone to see, without having to win a con test or get hired by someone. There’s also something frighten ing about it, though, as with any presentation of one’s creative work—do the viewers spot the same flaws I do? Do they spot flaws I don’t? And does the work hold its own in spite of it all? In any case, the show makes for interesting viewing. There is a great amount of talent, both po tential and fully realized. There are many different levels of abil ity and many different styles, but the artists all have one thing in common—they are pursuing art. They may all be at different points in their journey, but the wonder ful element of the CCC ,art pro gram is that everyone is allowed to progress at their own pace. It is not asked of them that they improve at the same rate as other students; only that they improve. The diversity of the show is vast. From the straightforward, direct pencil and charcoal works of the Drawing classes to the ab stract, ^symmetrical shapes and patterns of the Basic Design stu dents; from the deep, rich tones and blends of the colorful paint ings to the stark, contrasting black and white of the pen and ink drawings, an extremely wide gamut is run. Some works in particular are of note at the show. For instance, in the Basic Design section, Bran don Freels stands out with his striking montages of semi-repre sentational images. Also of par ticular interest is the Basic Design group project, which is con structed of many paper octagons arranged in a grid, each contain ing drawings or images pertain ing to music. It is truly a unique work. In the drawing department, several works catch the eye as well. Akiko Shomura’s figures, one a nude drawing of a large woman and the other depicting a clothed woman who is a fellow student, are particularly evocative of form and texture, and have a definite oriental quality of line that is graceful and charming. Also, Tamaki Tabata’s work, sev eral perspective drawings of buildings, shows promise as well, sporting expert precision of line, accuracy of perspective, and qual ity of form. The painting entries are posZ sibly the most impressive of all. - It is impossible to cover them all, but there were a few high lights. Julie Lord, for example, has a delightful body of work, in cluding a lively depiction of a cowboy on a bucking horse, and a deep, soothing painting of a placid lily pond. Brook Phillips also has striking, not to mention unique, pieces in display. The works consist of crosses on hills, lilies and similar Easter-related imagery, all depicted in somewhat abstract style using large, bold, strokes of oil, so that form be comes more important than detail and the beauty of the flickering lights and rich colors shines through splendidly. Please do not think, however, that only those works which my limited space allows me to men tion are the only ones worth see ing. In fact, I urge everyone to see the show and choose their own favorites. The show is very refreshing and worth the time of anyone who K stops by. For those who have an interest in the arts, I believe it is an important duty to show sup port on a local level, particularly for those with whom one works and studies side by side every day. For those who do not have interest in the arts, it might be time to cultivate such an interest for one’s own enrichment. The result just might be surpris ing. Whatever the case, the raw talent on display at the Pauling center is admirable, and at times exquisite. It would be shameful to see it go unnoticed.
