Student Art Catalog

Welcome!

It is a genuine pleasure for the Foothill-De Anza Community College District to host the 2017 League for Innovation Student Art Competition! We are proud of our students’ achievements in studio arts as well as our colleges’ well-deserved reputations for distinctive accomplishments in transfer and workforce preparation.

Students from League board colleges whose work is presented in this catalog have used a diverse range of media and materials to express their artistic talents. Their images and messaging run the gamut from haunting, evocative, and profound to exquisitely playful and mysterious. They represent the outstanding education that is the hallmark of League board colleges, and that is further affirmed in the jurying process overseen by respected artists.

We are indebted to the faculty who have provided excellent instruction in both technique and the importance of art in human endeavor. With the national and international focus on STEM education, the importance of art and artists in our society is often overshadowed or misunderstood. More than ever before, our celebration of student work represents an essential stand on behalf of the value of art. As educators, we are declaring that art is not only a critical element of an individual’s well-rounded education, but it is also a critical element in the creation and transmission of culture that benefits society as a whole.

Enjoy the images in this catalog and revel in the knowledge that all of us at the League for Innovation feel privileged to connect our students to a greater good!
