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

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

NEW! AAWA Film Society
This informal group of AAWA
members meets about once a month

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
