Envi-Able, mixed media on recycled materials, is a collaborative installation addressing environmental issues and re-envisioning our relationship to the natural world. It began as an Intermediate Drawing class project and has grown to include participants from the Global Warming Solutions conference and other local artists. Collaborators include Juliana Kang-Robinson, the Institute of Community and Civic Engagement, and the Euphrat Museum of Art. Installation design by Gabe Ballard and Aleksandr Barilov with Tom Smith.

Art Bench Project involved students from Instructor Moto Ohtake’s sculpture and 3D classes who were given the opportunity to design benches for the new Visual and Performing Arts Center patio. Models and statements for the benches were presented to the Art of Campus Committee. These ideas are on display. Chosen: Olena Starostina (Dreamboat), Alex Barilov (Kvadratik), Legrand Morgan (for resubmission), Robert R. Mooney (for resubmission). Also Matthew Neilson, Tin Ho Lau, and Nancy Vizcarra.

Counting Lives Lost, Making Our Lives Count Installation is part of a larger project. From a conversation between two De Anza students, Tim Sage and Zari Aziz, one a veteran from the Afghanistan War and the other a Muslim woman from Afghanistan, a series of activities has been developed to promote dialog, healing and the dispelling of stereotypes commonly associated with returning veterans and Muslim students. An April 29th healing dialog between Sage and Aziz was the first component of the project. It was followed by Kathleen Crocetti’s large student-assisted installation Counting Lives Lost in De Anza’s Main Quad (May, June). A symbolic portion of that installation, with documentation of the process and related commentary and poetry by students is exhibited in the Euphrat. Counting Lives Lost Committee and co-sponsors: DASB, Health Services, Intercultural and International Studies Division, Euphrat Museum of Art, Creative Arts Division.

Student Art Show on "Change"
Jan. 23-Feb. 23, 2006
Reception: Feb. 21, 6-8 p.m.

Sponsored by the De Anza Associated Student Body, the Euphrat Museum of Art, and the Creative Arts Division, this exhibition featured paintings, drawings, mixed-media works, photography, graphic design, sculpture and ceramics created by students at De Anza College.

This year's juried exhibition focused on "change." The theme was very encompassing, from personal change to global change, planned change to imposed change. The exhibition also included a collaborative public artwork produced by Linda Mau's ceramics class, consisting of individually designed pairs of ceramic foot/shoe prints leading a march to the future Euphrat Museum of Art.

The gathering of works reflected expertise in diverse media and varied interests and points of view. Two jurors - Tony May, Professor, San José State University, and Kathy Aoki, Professor, Santa Clara University - selected artworks to be presented in the exhibition and students to be awarded.
