The Avenue | Art And Theater

Dounia Bendris, a 21-year-old UF drawing senior, doesn’t like hard lines in her work, so she uses her fingers to smear her charcoal drawings. With black-stained hands, her fingerprints create a shadow and light effect. She dips her fingers into a water jug to seal the charcoal when she’s satisfied with an area.

Drawing seniors tease end-of-year show

They work with their hands — 10 fingers smudging, scraping, filing and brushing some of their last marks as UF students. These drawing seniors, graduating this Spring from the College of Fine Arts, are joining together before they depart, pooling their pieces for an art exhibition.


A quilt hangs on the wall of the Gainesville Tower Road Library, 3020 SW 75th St. It is part of the Quilters of Alachua County Day Guild’s library display that celebrates National Quilting Month.

The craft of quilting

You might mistakenly call it a blanket, a bedspread or a cover. You might even correctly call it a quilt. For the Quilters of Alachua County Day Guild, a quilt is more than that: It’s a piece of art.
