	Paintings and prints by Foothill College art instructor Edith Smith will
 
be exhibited at the Foothill College Library from February 15 through March 4.
 
A teacher of etching and watercolor at the College, Edith Smith has just returned

from a Fall Quarter in Paris, where she studied engraving techniques at the Atelier
 	
de Gravure Calevaert-Brun.  The exhibit will include serial watermedia paintings,
 
mezzotint prints, and computer-assisted etchings.  Using the graphic potential of a
 
DEC PDP10 computer, a computer-directed Varian printer, and intermediary photo-

graphic processes, Ms. Smith has produced colorful computerized etchings which have 

been previously displayed at the Ohio State University Art Gallery and the de Young
 
Museum.
