Chinese visiting scholar in visual arts shares work with GSW campus, community
For the last two years, Georgia Southwestern State University (GSW) has infused great emphasis on global awareness throughout its curriculum by way of (but not limited to) international programs and study abroad opportunities. As such, the practice of inviting visiting scholars to work and teach on campus is equally important.
Shasha Wang is a professor of art at the Hua Qing School at Xi’an University of Architecture and Technology (XUAT) in China. Serving as a visiting scholar at GSW this semester, she has been doing research in studio practices, art history and western approaches to art education, and she had an exhibit on display earlier this month in the Fine Arts Building that included artwork from her husband Ming ming Song – also a professor of art at XUAT.
