Extra Credit for Art 376 Relief Printing ( Victoria Goro-Rapaport ) by Eun-young Choi
Adam's Vision, Etching with photo, 24"x18"
Noah's Ark, Etching, 47"x28"
I visited the Old Town gallery on March 22nd. The OT gallery is a quite small; however, it is filled with some amazing prints. Among many great works, two of them stood out among the rest. One of them is titled "Noah's Ark" and the other one is called "Adam's Vision". Both works seem to depict the scenes based on the bible story. The work, "Noah's Ark" is an etching and the artist presented the scene in detail. The detail of the print almost looks like it was of either a drawing or painting. The thing that I really like in this work is that the artist incorporated the print with a typography background. The "Adam's Vision" is an etching with a photo that go well together. It does not look like a mix of two different materials, but rather as a one media. I I especially like the woman figure on the bottom right because her her sad looking face had a strong presence.
After visiting the gallery, I was amazed at the beauty and elaboration of the collection of prints. I also realized how the artist has done the prints amazingly compared to my printing skill.

In addition to the free concert there will also be free screening and antibody testing available from 1 -6 pm. This event remembers those who have lost the battle with Hepatitis C and those who are struggling to survive. Increased awareness will lead to more intense research on curing the disease and also help those infected learn how to best live with Hep C. They will be raffling off a lot of great prizes with the money going directly to the Hepatitis foundation including a signed guitar by Grace Slick and donated by Michelle.
There is no vaccine for Hepatitis C. It is a virus that attacks the liver and is spread by blood-to-blood contact. Although 1 in 50 Americans have the disease, 2 out of 3 do not know it. Persons who are most at risk are those who have received blood, blood products or an organ transplant prior to 1992, if you have been involved with drug abuse (either injecting or snorting), have been patients of dialysis, tattooed or pierced, shared personal care items, been incarcerated or have been a war veteran (especially Vietnam).
Please come out and support us at this most important event. For more info:
