Eastern Student Dean Bonney of Fairfield Participating in Student Art Exhibition at Student Center

2015 Dec 14

A number of Eastern students are presenting their artwork at the December 2015 Student's Art Exhibition at the Student Center. The show is being curated by Professors Afarin Rahmanifar and Andy Jones.

Dean Bonney '16 of Fairfield is one of the students who is exhibiting a piece of artwork at the exhibition. Bonney's major is Visual Arts.

The Student Art Exhibition focuses on promoting the artwork of art and art history students at Eastern. The categories of pieces on display include drawing, printmaking, painting and digital media. The various types of art media that were employed in each category were used in the students' corresponding foundation or advanced art classes. The show runs until Dec. 18 at the Student Center.

The art exhibition aims to create a launch pad for students through which they experience the steps for submitting their works for an art show or gallery exposition. Students who participated in curating the show gained knowledge in the field of gallery installation and management.

"It is important for students to display their artwork in addition to receiving proper training in its physical creation. The display and exhibition of visual art is an integral part of its development. In addition, the students are able to experience the critic and judgment of the public, in a field where the observer is a necessary component of artist-viewer relationship. This opportunity exhibits our students' talents, as well as the effort and energy of our faculty in the Art & Art History Department. We are truly proud of the students in our department," said Professor Afarin Rahmanifar.
