Introduction
TechArts
began as an art installation in 1995, as a way to showcase the artistic
talents of the students, faculty, and staff of New England Tech and share
them with the rest of the college community. The concept of TechArts
resurfaced in the Spring of 2004 when a committee of faculty and administrative
staff members became fully committed to keeping this tradition alive
as an annual event.
Art now has a permanent place in the Library. Exhibits
are changed quarterly, with a mix of works from the expanding number of arts-related
courses that are now part of the curriculum. Occasionally, works are donated
to the Library and have become part of our permanent collection. This
online exhibit catalog provides a sense of the art entrusted to us for
the next few weeks.
I would like to thank my assistant
curators, Cindy Pankiewicz (Catalog Librarian), Grayce Moorehead
(Web Content Manager), and Melissa Hague (Student Activities Coordinator)
for their artistic sensibilities and their assistance with organizing,
arranging, and hanging the art works throughout the Library.
We invite everyone to come in and enjoy the
art for the Spring Quarter and to appreciate the creativity and imagination
of the artists who are part of our college community.

Paintings
with brush and sumi ink and color, mixed with water, and on ”rice” paper. “Each painting represents a different style and technique of painting. It is not drawing or sketching, it is painting with a brush. Each painting can take a few minutes to a few hours to execute, but a lifetime to learn.” |
