The Hood College faculty are showing off their art skills in a display in the Tatem Arts Center gallery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Faculty members from all departments were asked to contribute art that they have created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn gallery presentations from before, it\u2019s only been studio arts faculty–drawing painting printmaking, photography, ceramics, etc.,\u201d Professor Timothy Jacobsen said. \u201cNow we opened it up to all faculty in hopes that we get to showcase all the talents of our Hood community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work from eight faculty members is featured in the gallery. The faculty chose as this year\u2019s theme  \u201cJust Like Always.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI feel flattered that I have been allowed to display my art, being in the archeology department. Since it\u2019s never been allowed before,\u201d David Hixson, professor of art and archaeology, said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hixson’s art piece is a virtual vase that he created using a combination of photographs and video game software. Visitors to the gallery can use their phones to scan a QR code that will then display an image of the vase on their phones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before the pandemic, an event would be held where people could walk around and look at the art. However, due to COVID restrictions, there will not be an event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUnfortunately, we can\u2019t have a large event, but it makes me happy that we are able to share the talents of the faculty,\u201d Jacobsen said. \u201cI was surprised that a lot of professors actually agreed to showing their art.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In place of an event, students from Jacobsen\u2019s visual media production class will be filming a virtual tour that will be uploaded to the @HoodCollegeBroadcasting Instagram and the @HappeningatHood page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visitors can also see the exhibit on display in the Tatem gallery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
