2.20
DRAWING FOUNDATIONS; LEARNING TO SEE
Wednesdays 9 - noon
Beginners


Fall in love with drawing. You will learn to see like an artist. I introduce the elements and principles of design and visual perception. You will learn about line, value, perspective and composition. This class is designed to change the way you look at the world and at art. Great music - very meditative.


2.32
SEEING - KNOWING - DRAWING
Intermediate - Advanced
Wednesdays 12:30 - 3:30


This class will stress principles (how we manipulate the elements) of drawing. You will create finished pieces and may also work on your personal projects. We will experiment with materials and push the renderings into polished finished artwork. Learn to evaluate your work through regular critiques.


3.28
LIFE DRAWING
Beginning - Advanced
Thursdays 12:30 - 3:30


Learn and practice drawing the nude figure. Each class will have a handout on anatomy, gesture or style. I have been studying Robert Beverly Hale's lectures. He encourages you to, "become aware of the anatomical forms in terms of the elements and principles of drawing and composition. In other words, what to do with them." Each student will receive individual attention.


3.25 
ALL - MEDIA PAINTING
Beginning - Intermediate
Friday 9 - 12:30


Learn color, technique and composition through weekly demos, critiques and handouts. Learn from other artists projects. I will set up a still life or work from your own reference material. 


3.26
ALL - MEDIA PAINTING
Intermediate - Advanced
Friday 12:30 - 3:30


Individual and group instruction in composition, color choices and techniques. You will be challenged and encouraged to develop your unique artistic voice. 




VERY COOL ARTISTS OF THE WEEK!

John Constable, "Seascape study with rain clouds" SEASCAPES In my latest critique group, an abstract artist asked me what I saw when I looked at abstract art. My answer was simple. The same ideas used in abstract art are evident and important in representational art. ESPECIALLY in landscapes. We will reinforce the elements and principles of design that make seascapes powerful expressions of a place and time. I will be referencing Ed Whitney's critiques of seascapes. All great landscapes are abstract paintings. Here are some wonderful seascapes. Why do they attract your attention?

SINGAPORE BIENNALE 2016

Lucky me. I arrived in Singapore to find their Biennale in the Singapore Art Museum and other Museums and institutions around town. It has been a great introduction to the Southeast Asian geography and culture. Many visits have pulled me out of an extreme state of jet lag and whetted my appetite to learn more about Southeast Asia. Singapore Biennale AN ATLAS OF MIRRORS - AT ONCE, MANY WORLDS "In charting our way around the world, humankind has relied on instruments of vision as well as navigation. Atlases map and mirror our journeys of discovery and often make visible more than just physical terrain; driven by our needs and desires, they embolden us to venture into the unknown. From our coordinates in Southeast Asia, the arc of our shared histories encompasses East and South Asia. These regions bear the imprints of one another's diverse cultures, even as boundaries are also constantly reimagined. Fraught and unstable, these borders are characterized by fluid mo...

Drawing Class March 4, 2010

FINALLY!!!! Hands Hands Hands I will show you the anatomy of your lower arms, wrist and hands. You will understand the underlying basic shapes and proportions of your wrist, thumb and fingers. I will bring some of my anatomy books with incredible drawings. Please bring your sketchbooks, pencils and erasers and some tracing paper. I will bring a roll if you don't have any for class. Find pictures in magazines or photos of hands. Bring them to class. Try to find foreshortened views. (Yes, that F word!) We will be finding the shapes in the photos. You will be tracing the anatomy so you understand it when you observe your own hands. You are your best model. Perfect sketchbook fodder. Waiting for anything will never be boring again! See you Thursday! I will not be able to teach on 3/25. I am joining the board of National Association of Women Artists. One of their few board meetings lies on that thursday. Ink wash lessons were scheduled for this day. I will discuss an alternate day when ...
