University student to exhibit artwork
WAYNESBURG – Waynesburg University’s Department of Fine Arts will hold a senior art exhibition Oct. 6 through Oct. 24 in the Benedum Fine Arts Gallery.
The exhibit will display the artwork of senior art major Laura Shawver. An opening reception will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 6. Admission is free and the public is invited.
Shawver’s exhibit will feature batik, ceramics, drawings, linoleum and woodblock prints, paintings and photography that she has created during her four years at Waynesburg University. Various works will be available for purchase.
The university’s art program enables students to mold, paint and sketch works of their imagination while providing the tools to grasp a comprehensive knowledge of techniques and history. Students hone abilities through class discussion, demonstrations and exhibits.
Senior art exhibitions take place each semester to provide veteran art students with a platform to showcase the products of a practiced creative process. Students spend four years creating and preserving pieces they are most proud of for this very occasion.
Gallery hours are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, or by appointment.
