January 2nd through February 21st
"Fifteen Minutes of Fame"
Drawing the human figure is difficult. Especially when the model
poses for a short amount of time before the pose changes. But change
and movement are vital parts of all life. Clouds shift in the sky, trees
wave in the wind. Even our eyes move. Drawing quickly is a useful
skill. This dynamic show features drawings that were done in only
fifteen minutes. Each artist had to decide what to leave out and what
to emphasize, in order to catch each pose before it changed. These
drawings are the result of how skillfully they met the challenge. Artists Reception: Friday, January 2nd, from 3 to 7 p.m.
Classes & Workshops & Special Events
"The Artistry of Food"
Friday evening, February 6th, at 7 p.m.
Morgan Koehnen and Trevor Claverie combine their talents for this
event. Morgan is a food scientist, pastry chef, and author of the
beautifully designed cookbook "Cooking for Me." She tells the
fascinating story of how her own struggles with food allergies
prompted her to develop tantalizing recipes that prove allergen-safe
foods can be delicious to eat and artistically presented. Trevor Claverie
is a food and lifestyle photographer whose photos of the results of
those recipes are pure works of art. See their colors and rich textures
come to life on the gallery's big screen and listen to his explanation
of the artistic design decisions he made to capture the dramatic details,
like a drop of honey on a just-cut loaf of bread. Hear him describe how
subtle lighting and placement can translate flavor into visual delights.
"Figure Drawing Sessions with Rae Turnbull"
On the second, and third Saturday of each month, from 1:30 to
3:30 p.m. Fine artist Rae Turnbull provides individualized instruction
tailored to each artist's level of expertise. While the model poses, Rae's suggestions and demonstrations help artists add to their ability to observe and draw from the model. This is an opportunity to practice drawing the clothed figure with guidance from a seasoned professional known for her artistry in drawing from the model.
