340 HIGH STREET

Welcome. This is the 16th edition of 340 HIGH STREET—the annual publication produced by the students of the Visual Arts Center of Tidewater Community College. It is a showcase for the best of everything created at the VAC during the past year. For nearly two decades we have welcomed students to join a unique family of artists who create works of art that are informative, thought provoking, and interesting. Students are trained to be outstanding professionals and are guided as they learn the skills and master the techniques of the visual arts. Students learn how to think critically, to use the tools of fine art and design, and to channel their creative energies to produce works of art that convey messages filled with meaning and emotion. In order to show the world the spirit of the Visual Arts Center and show off the skills and talents of our students, each year they submit their best work. Then, a team of students designs, lays out and prepares for printing this book. This is the 2014 edition of 340 High Street. We hope you will enjoy.

“Ideas must be put to the test.

That’s why we make things—

otherwise they would be no

more than ideas. There is often

a huge difference between an

idea and its realization. I’ve

had what I thought were great

ideas that just didn’t work.”

Andy Goldsworthy

“I used to think

that I was just crafty,

and made things that

helped define me or

express my moods.

But then I realized

that those creations

are what I needed

to do as sure as I

needed to breathe.

That is when I realized

I was an artist.”

“To me, photography

is an art of observation.

It’s about finding something

interesting in an ordinary place.

I’ve found it has little to do

with the things you see

and everything to do with

the way you see them.”

Elliot Erwitt
