TechArts: Everyone Is An Artist
April 2007
Introduction
DEDICATION
This
year’s
TechArts is dedicated to the memory of Ray Sauer,
Associate Professor
of Mathematics from 1979 to 2007.
He was a gifted artist, teacher, and
athlete who inspired many
in the New England Tech community. Ray was
one of the
first
artists who took part in the original TechArts in 1995.
We mourn his loss and celebrate his life through his art
and the art
of other faculty, staff, and students in this year’s
exhibit. Special
thanks to Dore Van Dyke for graciously loaning
several of Ray’s
sculptures to the library for this year’s exhibit.

BACKGROUND
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 Cindy Pankiewicz (Catalog Librarian),
Grayce Moorehead (Web Content Manager), Joe Holland (Reference Librarian),
and Melissa Hague (Student Activities Coordinator) for their artistic
sensibilities and their assistance with organizing the reception, advertising
the event, 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.

Notes:
HU205, Introduction to Digital Photography, "24
Shots of One Subject"
The purpose of this assignment is to heighten student photographers' sensitivity
to elements of design in everyday objects or scenes and make them more able to
use the rules of composition to make interesting photos.
Students are encouraged to take shots that are framed in such a way that the
subject matter of the shot becomes primarily an interplay of lines, shapes, or
textures. In some cases the objects themselves may not be recognizable. There
is a rich history of abstraction in photography. Yet, these photos attest to
the fact that it is alive and well at NEIT.
HU205, Introduction to
Digital Photography, "Personal Advertisements"
The purpose of this assignment is to make students more aware of the persuasive
possibilities of photography. They do this by making advertisements for themselves using
emotionally charged images and one word.
Words and images have an effect on each other and the addition of even one "non-subtitle"
word to an image can have a big impact: the image can change how we interpret
the word and the word can change how we interpret the photograph. In either case,
the viewer is more involved than in more straightforward photos.
For more art, see Works
in the Permanent Collection, TechArts
2005, TechArts 2006, and TechArts
2007.
