The Art Department at D&E College present the work of art students from the current school year.

Art Reception is Friday, February 2, 2024, from 5 to 7 pm.

More than 39 Davis & Elkins College students will display close to 90 pieces of their creative works. The work is that of student art majors, minors and other non art majors taking general art elective classes. This exhibition features a variety of mediums. “All of our students work very hard to create what they see in their mind when they start working on their artwork. The process of making art involves creative thinking, daily observation and many practice drawings to work out the final outline of their idea. Sometimes that idea changes in the course of creating, and the students must figure out how to make their work adapt to those changes. Creating artwork involves lots of trouble shooting on the part of the creator to get it right,” Woodcock says. The Creative Art Program at D&E provides a basic background in art, problem solving and the creative process to all students. Students develop an understanding of complex and sophisticated visual language, and are prepared for a professional career in art, teaching art and/or graduate study. “ Kevin Woodcock
