ARTIST GROUPS WEBSITES

Websites listed by the members who attended Lila's Non-Objective worshop. Not everyone could remember the URL of their art group website so I have been going to Google to locate it and then hung around at the site reading newsletters, events, and sales and looking for and at my classmate's work. Add to that delay, the fact that I am using dial up service. Excuses made.

In the mail today, I received a card from Studio 1219 http://www.studio1219.com/
advertising the event Renaissance ART Roam: Through the Decades. ....Come travel through the time tunnel with us as we go back to the 1930s.... Enjoy food, music and beverages from each decade as you view and purchase juried art from scores of artists at showcased venues in downtown Port Huron. Time trolleys will provide transportation to each decade..... Visit the web site noted above for artist bios, etc.
That event was last weekend. I wonder how it was.

The second course I signed up for is a go. Painting: Revelations from the Renaissance
Inspired by the exhibition at the NG in Ottawa.....illuminates the greatest lessons of Renaissance painting..... great opportunity to learn to paint in oils in environment-considerate and body-friendly applications..... learn about layers of colour, glazing, underpainting, preparation of surface and transfer of drawings.....inspired by Micelangelo and Renaissance thought and humanism.....Model one day. Bus trip to Ottawa to view exhibition at National Gallery.

It is also okay to use acrylics but I think I will try oils as well.
Once again, there will be early morning drives and full days learning and painting - in just over a week.

We attended the graduation from 8th grade of our first grandson, Gage, yesterday evening. A pretty big deal for all the kids. Gage and a friend shared the Mathematics Award for grade 9, the two of them having taken this course at the local highschool in the fall semester. Just a little bit proud!
