Andrew students display artwork

CUTHBERT — The Andrew College Visual Art Program held a reception and open house downtown on the square recently, which showcased students’ artwork for the fall semester. Works featured included paintings, drawings and two-dimensional design studies. New this year were a large number of ceramic pieces due to Andrew’s fall semester opening of a ceramics studio downtown for classes.

Chris Johnson, assistant professor of visual art and director of the visual arts program, said that he was pleased with the quality of his students’ work.

“One of the most amazing parts of teaching art at Andrew College is witnessing the students’ transition from being beginning students, unsure in their artistic abilities, into artists who are confident in their ideas, technique, uniqueness, and being open about sharing their perspective,” Johnson said.

Established in 1854, Andrew College is related to The United Methodist Church and is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges. Situated in the rural Southwest Georgia community of Cuthbert, Andrew College offers Associate of Art, Associate of Music, Associate of Nursing, Associate of Science and Bachelor of Business degrees.
