UVa-Wise art professor to be featured

on With Good Reason radio program

Suzanne Adams-Ramsey, UVa-Wise Associate Professor of Art, will be featured on With Good Reason, a radio production of the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities, the week of October 21-27, 2006, as part of the program "Art: Where Do You Draw the Line?".

Today, artists and designers use new digital technologies to create images. Does this mean the days of teaching drawing by hand to art students are numbered? Colin Ferguson (JTCC) argues that basic instruction in drawing is crucial for young artists’ ability to see the world around them.

Also, Suzanne Adams-Ramsey (UVa-Wise) talks about unraveling women’s history as she works to document historic quilts.

With Good Reason can be heard locally on WVTF (90.5 FM) at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 25.

“With Good Reason” is broadcast on 10 public radio stations in Virginia, Tennessee and Washington, D.C. For complete listings of shows and times, visit the program's Web site at www.withgoodreasonradio.org.
