Exhibiting Artists, reminder: NO CLASS ON APRIL 25TH!

We won't be having lass on April 25th because all of the Saturday Studios teachers will be busy preparing your work for exhibition. We will be celebrating eight weeks of hard work and fun! Class will be held on May 2nd, followed by a reception from 11:30 - 12:00. All work will be sent home with you. See you then!

We are very excited about exhibiting the work from all the Saturday Studios classes! The exhibit will run from April 27 - May 2nd followed by a reception on Saturday, May 2nd at 11:30 a.m. The event is free and open to the public. 

Class #7 - Now is it done?!

In class last week we finished up projects and talked about our exhibition. We took a look at the gallery space where our work will go and took a look at the show coming down in the Student Life Gallery. We were fortunate to run into the curators, who were nice enough to explain their thoughts about planning it.

It will be a really big show!

Hello to my students and to the adults who belong to them!

We are very excited about exhibiting the work from all the Saturday Studios classes! The exhibit will run from April 27 - May 2nd followed by a reception on Saturday, May 2nd at 11:30 a.m. The event is free and open to the public. 

This week (Saturday, 4/18), we will be focusing on finishing work and planning the exhibition. Considerations will include: When is an artwork done? Does describing an artwork add to our understanding or subtract from it? Does our art as a class have something in common? We will be selecting the work for the show and how it will be displayed. You will be receiving invitations at the end of class but here is a digital version in the meantime.

ALL WORK THAT ISN'T GOING INTO THE SHOW WILL BE GOING HOME WITH YOU THIS SATURDAY! MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO CARRY IT IN OR SOME HELPING HANDS!

Alison Rossiter - paper and chance

While 2D, the work of artist Alison Rossiter combines chance and paper in an approach to art similar to our paper sculpture class.

Alice in Wonderland

This might make more sense on Saturday...

The Caterpillar: What size do you want to be?

Alice: Oh, I'm not particular as to size, only one doesn't like changing so often, you know.

Get ready for class #6!
