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?

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.
