They have also put on two art shows this semester and will put on three more by the end of next semester. The shows are sponsored by the day and evening students with the primary purpose of bringing to the students of LBCC something they would not normally see. The shows run for four weeks and the admission is free.

A COLLECTEON OF MEXICAN ARCHITECTURE with a heritage of 4000 years was shown in January. There was a contrast in style ranging from the Mayan Classic period of 600 B.C. to the present 20th century. CAREFUL CONTRAST. Carol Vingart and Fred Heathcock in the Art Department are carefully checking colors for their next painting. The LBCC gallery is one of the oldest galleries in Long Beach. The Long Beach Museum and the gallery at L. B. State College in addition to ours are major galleries in our city. To avoid repetition from the other museums, the art depart- ment at LBCC tries to feature different shows. The first art show this semester was Two Centuries of Landscape Paintingwwhich attempted to show the changing trends in landscape painting in the 19-20th centuries. The paint- ings were gathered from the Pasadena Museum, the University of Southern California, and the Felix Landau Gallery. The second show was 4000 Years of Mexican Architecture since 1500-2000 B.C. It went through the Indian cultures, the Spanish Conquest, the period between the revolution for indepen- dence and to the present. Shows of sculpture and animation will be featured next semester, and the last will be a student art show with the paint- ings and art work of the art students of the LBCC campus. ll9l
