The Sketchbook as Art with Patti Casteel
Saturday, October 3, 2009, 10am-4pm
Kerrytown Concert House

Sketchbooks are invaluable tools to growth as an artist. Time will be spent looking at famous and not-so-famous artist sketchbooks and talking about sketchbooks as legacy works of art. We will sketch outdoors or indoors as weather dictates. We will experiment with ideas and materials and enjoy critiques at the end of class.


Drawing with Fred Horowitz
Saturday, January 16, 2009

This workshop promises to be a winner. Many of you know Fred from his 35 years of teaching at Washtenaw Community College. This workshop promises to be an interactive day of discovering and reawakening our drawing skills.


Alvey Jones
Saturday, March 20, 2009

We are very excited to have Alvey Jones as our Spring Workshop instructor. Details will become available closer to the scheduled date.



Additional Creative Experiences for AAWA Members

Non-Instructed Life Drawing/Painting

Two groups currently hire a model for non-instructed life drawing sessions each week. The artists split the costs of the model fee at each session. Life drawing is an exercise that benefits all creative mediums. Contact Nora Venturelli at nventurel@emich.edu for information.

Plein Air Painting Sessions

A group of artists meet regularly to paint/draw outdoors in various local beauty spots. Sessions normally begin at 10:00am and end when you’re done. Bring lunch, your own art materials, and whatever the weather calls for. Come paint, have lunch, have fun, and follow this great art tradition. Consult the newsletter for upcoming sites. Contact Sandra Difazio at davdif@provide.net for more information.

Portrait Studio Sessions

Portraiture presents the greatest challenge to the artist, and offers the most satisfaction. This group meets weekly at the Northfield Senior Center on Main Street in Whitmore Lake on Mondays from 1:00 to 3:30 pm for clothed figure drawing/painting. $6 fee. You are cordially invited to participate. Contact Nancy Weiss at nweiss11@gmail.com for details.

Saturday Morning Artists

Please refer to the Ann Arbor Women Artists newsletter for a schedule of activities for the Saturday Morning Artists.

NEW! AAWA Film Society

This informal group of AAWA members meets about once a month to see a movie. Afterwards, any who participate go out for an optional post movie discussion at a nearby coffee house. Guests of AAWA members are always welcome. Most movies are seen at the Michigan Theater, but the location may vary depending on what is being shown. If you would like to receive information about this group, contact Barbara Goodsitt at b.goodsitt@comcast.net.
