Wareham High School students’ literary works of art are on display at the Wareham Free Library in an exhibit combining graphic design, ceramics, puppetry, and collage.

The exhibit was put on in collaboration with the Wareham Library Foundation, which works to financially support the libraries and spread the word about what the library has to offer to people of all ages.

Art teacher Amanda Sharples said that all of the projects displayed have to do with stories. 

One group created “narrative silhouettes” to illustrate favorite books using black and white paper. Ceramics students used a variety of techniques to represent book covers on vases, and other students used shadow puppets to illustrate stories that were then edited into short videos.

Graphic design students created new covers for books like the Odyssey and “It” by Steven King, or worked in collaboration with marketing students to design magazine covers.

Members of the high school’s art club helped kids craft ornaments and bookmarks.

Wareham Library Foundation member Michaela Bottino said that the event is part of the group’s efforts to find creative ways to bring people into the library and find out all it has to offer. 

The students’ artwork will be on display in the library’s meeting room at 59 Marion Rd. at least through the end of the calendar year. The library is open from 1 to 8 p.m. on Mondays, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, from 1 to 8 p.m. on Thursdays, and from 9 am. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays. The library will be closed on Dec. 24, Dec. 25, and Jan. 1.
