【Reported by Yi-ling Huang, Tamkang Times】After the start of the semester, an art banquet was held as a contribution from the Carrie Chang Fine Arts Center. The banquet was also a modern print/graphic art exhibition that displayed 78 fine pieces of work represented by 41 different artists. Participants were able to peer into the fascinating and unique creations of the various art work. Dean of the Carrie Chang Fine Arts Center, Ben-hang Chang, stated, “In the West, graphic and printed art have gotten a lot of attention. So in this exhibition we have especially selected Taiwanese artists that are very skilled in this particular trade. The colors and contours of these products show the distinct personality of each individual artist. This is quite a rare opportunity for both students and faculty to observe such a high-caliber level of artistry.
