2022 APRIL ART STUDY "Digging Deeper"
2022 March Theme: "Turquoise" color
MARCH begins our first Art Focus activity. We will be working on a theme: “The Color Turquoise” Diving into it right away will prepare you for the: “Turquoise Art Show” in April at KAA. Intake: 3/30 KAA requires turquoise color in the painting. |
For MARCH, as some of you know, I am taking the lead on the “Turquoise” theme and providing information, responding to questions, and sending out a handout on this amazing color and along with sharing sample pictures. I believe you will find this month’s Art Focus informative and enjoyable.
If you have any questions, email me. Thank you, Karen [email protected] |
When the topic in Art Focus is built on a theme, as in March, the theme will correspond to a regional art show in which you may wish to participate. However, you do not have to work toward an art show. You may want to explore the theme for fun and/or build your knowledge.
We hope you will join us in this new monthly activity for GPS and keep yourself open to the proposed monthly activities throughout the year. Not every month will be a theme. Sometimes the topic of Art Focus will be a technique or skill related, such as developing texture using a granulating medium. It could be a topic to study, such developing color in shadow areas of a painting or exploring an artist’s style. Other times, the topic might be a prompt, such as “paint the moon.” GPS Art Focus handouts will have more detail with examples. Currently, we are working on monthly topics and selecting leaders whom WOW! Board will recruit to lead these activities. We plan to have that information to you shortly.
