Out of Our Comfort Zone:
Steal Like an Artist
Monday, July 13
1 pm - 4 pm
Moderators: Cheryl Evans and Susan Giannantonio
Members $20, Non-Members $25
Choose a favorite artist. Consider someone very different from your own style. Bring print example(s) of your artist’s work. During this session REALLY study her/his work and try your hand at what you love about it. Plan to paint in that style for the afternoon. Hint: take this as literally as you wish. Use it as a slight influence or jump in with both feet and channel your artist.
For more of a challenge, use your own photo reference to depict your artist’s style or instead, if you prefer, copy your artist’s actual work. Either is encouraged. Copying other artists is legal, has been practiced throughout art history (i.e. Picasso studying Van Gogh), and is encouraged so long as you don’t take credit for the references.
Your choice of mediums.
This creative encounter is designed to meet the needs of the intermediate and advanced artists wanting to elevate their work to the next level by meeting monthly to explore a specific art challenge or subject.
The challenge will be presented by the moderators, but NO FORMAL INSTRUCTION will be provided, and ALL artist fees will go directly to WAS-H.
This is an “a-la-carte” event and each month participants must register and pay for the session on the WAS-H web site to reserve a space in the Out of Your Comfort Zone Encounter.
Creativity, growth, and pushing the boundaries will be celebrated!
Safety Alert: Individuals attending this activity should be aware that they require the ability to safely descend stairs in an emergency.
