\n \nThe CVPA Art Education Department is pleased to present Paper Unleashed: Materials in Art Education, an exhibition featuring over 30 works created by art education students, art education alumni, art teachers, artists, and CVPA faculty, who work with paper as a medium. The gallery is located at the College of Visual and Performing Arts of the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts.\n \nThe exhibition Paper Unleashed: Materials in Art Education celebrates the most basic of materials that can be used in almost any context, educational or creative setting. This exhibition endeavors to explore the many ways in which paper can be used to create a variety of art forms while supporting corresponding teaching methodologies.\n \nThe exhibition will feature an artist talk by Barbara Pagh, who has been working with handmade paper since the 1970s. She enjoys being able to control the size, color and texture of the paper, explorations that led to the creation of three-dimensional forms to be assembled into installation pieces. Ms. Pagh will discuss her inspiration for the works in paper, with an emphasis on the results of sabbatical projects where she worked to interpret megalithic sites in Scotland, Ireland and Brittany. A selection of elements from the Ireland exhibition, Passages will be on view. The artist talk will take place during the reception on Thursday October 29, 2015 at 5 pm.\n \nThe Art Education Program at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth challenges students to be critical thinkers, while developing visual, verbal and written skills, which serve them professionally and personally as discerning individuals living in a community with others. The Art Education program is dedicated to increasing the capacity of its graduates to question issues related to teaching, thinking, learning, and producing in and through the visual arts. This program offers a sequence of practical, theoretical, and studio-based experiences through which students build on their knowledge, skills, and confidence as art educators. The Art Education program is approved by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to offer initial and professional licensure. The program emphasizes professional development and lifelong learning for teachers who already hold teaching licenses in the arts or related fields.\n \nCVPA Campus Gallery\nUMass Dartmouth, College of Visual and Performing Arts (CVPA)&location=CVPA%3A%20College%20of%20Visual%20and%20Performing%20Arts%3F "Add to Google Calendar")
