■ Artfest ’85, sponsored by the Me
morial Student Center Visual Arts
Committee, is promoting art at
Texas A&M through programs
geared towards the students, says
fptrick'Vinn, gallery coordinator for
the MSC Arts Committee,
f The art awareness week, which
ends Friday, was created to inform
students that art isn’t only for the
elite, it’s for everyone, Vinn says.
B “Art has come a long way, but it
still has far to go,” he says. “One of
our goals is to snow that not all art is
abstract and difficult to understand.
We try to get art to the people in
stead of people to the art.”
One of the ways the committee
brings art to the students is through
the new medium of performance
artwork, Vinn says.
I “Performance art involves taking
an idea that you want to convey and
showing that idea through living
people," Vinn says.
; The first performance piece was
■Four on Display.” It consisted of
four people on display at The Rud
der Complex.
1 “The idea is simplicity,” Vinn says.
i'There are no hidden philosophical
^meanings behind it. It’s very straight
forward and it allows people to ap
preciate a new form of art.”
. A student’s appreciation of art in
‘all its forms is another goal of the
committee, he says. Last week the
committee sponsored a student art
competition. The winning art pieces
were displayed in the gallery on the
first floor of the MSC.
“Various types of paintings and
sculptures were represented in the
120 to 150 entries,” Vinn says.
“Some were rather unusual. There
was one painting of a smushed frog
on canvas. Although some paintings
were abstract, most were concrete
dealing with more real things than in
the past years.”
Students who missed the entry
date for the competition were given
the opportunity to show their art on
a blank canvas set up at The Rudder
Complex last week, Vinn says.
“We had a blank canvas, paint and
paint brushes,” Vinn says. “We told
students they could paint whatever
they wanted. At first it was hard to
convince students that it was free,
but soon everyone in the area was
painting with interesting results.”
Although Artfest is basically to
promote the visual arts, the literary
arts are also recognized, Vinn says.
A poetry reading is scheduled for
11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday either by
Rudder Fountain or in the MSC gal
lery.
Students who have contributed
poems to Litmus, the literary mag
azine published by the MSC Literary
Arts Committee, nave been asked to
read some of their works aloud.
