Chillicothe Campus Stevenson Gallery
Displays Current Students' Artwork
Five Ohio University Chillicothe students who have completed the series of painting classes offered on campus have been invited by Professor of Art Margaret McAdams to display their artwork as one-person shows in the Stevenson Center gallery.
“All of these students did well in their painting courses and are seriously committed to their art," McAdams said. "I wanted them to have the experience of having their first one-person shows.”
The first exhibit, which ran through March 12, displayed the work of student Leah Dyke, an arts & theater major from Adena High School, who used the medium of oil on canvas.
“You can tell a lot about someone from their artwork or writing,” Dyke said. “All of my paintings are based on entries from my fictitious journal, so they’re really not going to make sense to anyone but me. For me, this is a visual diary of how I was feeling when I wrote those particular journal entries.”
Karalea Lane, a creative writing/art major from Lancaster High School, will exhibit her acrylic paint on canvas and board work from March 12 through March 18.
“The art class assignment was to paint 6,000 square inches utilizing a common theme. I chose squares because I wanted to experiment with a simple geometric shape. By the end of the quarter, I had more ideas than I expected, and I had begun some work with circles,” she explained.
Student exhibits in this series, including tentative installation and final days for exhibits, include:
Karalea Lane, March 12 to March 18
Jennifer Haddox, March 19 to March 29
Lawrence Stone, March 30 to April 6
Whitney Bland, April 7 to April 13
