Madison Munro - 2020 January 29

I have finished box 5 of the Jason periodicals. I went from earliest to latest when scanning and found that the earlier additions had much more student art contributions than 1968, 1969, and 1970. Could have just been a question of interest but I'll have a better picture once I move onto the next box. The art that was included seemed to primarily be dry point etchings and prints which fascinated me as a studio art major who happens to be taking an etching class. I took it as the fates reminding me I need to work on my own dry point etching assignment that sits idle on my desk. Additionally, earlier works seemed to have integrated the art and poetry in a more cohesive way. And to my delight the earlier images actually had captions! Every art historian's dream!!  Also fascinating were the contributor's names and hometowns at the end of the books. Fascinating to see that even in the 60s and 70s there was a major Californian population at Willamette. No doubt they too were offended by the rain.
