Not just students. The Bethel Art Professor also makes things. 

From patchwork quilts and digital screen prints to ceramic sculptures and acrylic paintings, Johnson Gallery is full of art. The staff and faculty of the Bethel Art Department will exhibit art works in the gallery until December 10th, which shows that it is not just art students who make things. 

"This is very important to us, and our students see that we are constantly making things," said department chair and art professor Amanda Hamilton. "I think one of the strengths of our department is [that] the faculty really believe [that] if you want to teach, you need to create and have a rich process that you are committed to."

"I'm using oil paints to ink on the surface of this painting, like a printmaking process, and then print it on [second] paper. It is the reciprocal of one and the other. I use it in paint A lot of natural materials, such as flake mica and sand. When [natural material] is printed, because it is shiny, it wipes very clean. This is a negative and positive thing."

"For many years, in my work, [I have been thinking about] the state of existence, such as existence and non-existence, materiality and immateriality... Because this painting is the first thing you make, [丝网Printing] is fully presented, it’s its own iteration, but it also depends on the painting. I am very interested in what the printmaker said about the second painting-ghost prints-but I didn't really realize that I always thought [silk screen prints] It’s ghost prints because they don’t feel like they really exist as paintings."

"There was a man named Waterhouse Hawkins who made the Crystal Palace dinosaurs for the Dinosaur Museum in Central Park. [At] work, he made some comments to the New York City government. Boss Tweed, [then New York Senator], sent his people over at night, and they dismantled and processed the dinosaurs. There are three competing stories about where [sculpture] might end. [Yes] in the show are photos from each location: near the baseball stadium The referee mound is now the location of the compost pile and Harlem Meyer. The other [on display] is the teeth of a dinosaur in Central Park." 

"No one has ever dug up these pieces. All kinds of people [want], but it never happened, so that's why I am interested. In addition, they are both weird and interesting, and everyone likes one very much. Good story of'the government crushed the dinosaur and buried it in the park'."

"As we grow up, the only truly private space in our home is usually the bathroom, because it is stipulated that the bedroom door cannot be closed, or you must live in the same room with your brothers and sisters. Many key psychological and sexual development moments occur in the bathroom. In. My work shows those moments by taking away the bathroom furniture because it is so unique to that room, and pulling it into a traditionally invisible art space, and by placing them uncomfortable with each other Distance to personify."

"I think [showing my art] is really important. That's the real reason I did it. If no one will see it, it doesn't make sense, so this is a precious experience."

"Most of my work is a combination of design and screen printing or licensing technology. I extract a lot of content from personal files, whether they are garbage on your computer or photo files. A lot of my work is about digital The tension between space and simulated space, and thinking about my life in the real world, I will have to live online or via mobile phone, and how it shapes interpersonal relationships and my real life. Understanding of myself. Some typography It’s actually Google Translate trying to translate my child’s Spanish homework. I often work with my child, so many of the lines here come from them or are made in collaboration with them."

"After a year of hard work, my soul can do something without thinking about things for a while. This is so cute. This is what I need to do."

Kenneth Steinbach, Professor of Art and Design 

"Albrecht Dürer (Albrecht Dürer) created a very famous print in 1498, [he was] a major German artist in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. This is a bit strange because it is about the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse What Dürer is depicting here is a set of about 15 engravings depicting the Apocalypse. I wanted to deal with this painting in some way, so I went to the Minneapolis Institute of Art and got permission from [VIEW]. They really took out the [prints] with white gloves, and I shot them very thoroughly."

"Essentially, all I did was copy it perfectly. I did all of these things to really capture it as much as possible. I basically made a flipped version. Therefore, I did not exile the Four Horsemen to In the world, but send them back to hell. This is a very personal theological statement."
