We announced in previous mailings that we would like to have an Art Show as part of our 50th reunion.
This would be an opportunity to share how the “Arts” part of our Liberal Arts education has become integral to our lives. And it would be a unique chance to show your art to those of us who have known you for a lifetime.
For example, here is a digital copy of an oil painting by Jean DeHaven.
You should recognize the subject.This is the type of art that we hope some of you would want to display.
Or perhaps you would share some of your photography, as in this example by Sandy Wheeler.
So far we have had but two responses other than Jean, Sandy and myself. We hope more of you will want to participate.
Our plan would be to create a digital presentation running on a continuous loop on a large HDTV in the class headquarters. We would also like to have a more formal showing in one of the presentation rooms during the course of the weekend. A digital show provides the opportunity to present a body of work created over time. It also eliminates the logistical problems involved in bringing artwork to Hanover and finding a safe and secure place to hang and show it. While this digital format lends itself to photography, digital images of oil paintings, watercolors and sculptures will also work.
So, whether talented amateur or pro, classmate, spouse or significant other, if you are interested in participating, let me know in the next week or two so we can get on with the planning.
