Meet the artist.

She could be your painting instructor.

“I began teaching at the Artscenter over 10 years ago—a single night class while working two other part time jobs. Now I teach here 4-5 days a week. The Artscenter makes available the space for professional artists to offer classes of their own design—which is a rare and incredible opportunity. I absolutely love coming to work every single day, and bring all my skill, enthusiasm, and dedication to every single class and every single student. Through The Artscenter, I have had the opportunity to develop strong relationships with my returning students—some of whom I’ve worked with since that first night class ten years ago, and many of whom are now exhibiting artists themselves. I’ve made many great friends, and my students have made valuable friendships with each other. We are very lucky to have this incredible center in our community!”

Luna Lee Ray offers continuing level classes in watercolor, acrylic, and mixed media. She exhibits her mixed media paintings at Frank in Chapel Hill.

2007. ORGANIZING AND MANIPULATING IMAGES WITH ADOBE PHOTOSHOP LIGHTROOM—at The Century Center Once in a while a new computer program comes out that is both relatively easy to learn and has the power to make a tremendous change in what we can accom-

plish. Lightroom is such a program for casual, amateur, and professional photographers. It is tailored to the needs of the photographer, handling their workflow needs from the time they attach their camera or memory card to the computer through sorting, organizing, editing, preparing for printing, slide shows, and web publishing. After covering important concepts of “workflow” (everything that you do from when you take the picture till you have the desired result), we will demonstrate key features of Lightroom. You can download a trial version of the software to use during the class. Just watch and take notes or bring your Mac or Windows laptop to class and “play along”. You will find Lightroom to be a time-saver in managing and presenting your pictures, whether you take a dozen pictures a month or a few hundred in a day. Please note: This class takes place at the Century Center at the intersection of Weaver and Greensboro Streets in Carrboro. Cosponsored with Carrboro Recre-

2009. PRIMING THE PUMP In-class, no-threat experiments with writing and with elements that go into finding and making a story, whether it’s fiction or drawn from personal experience. We’ll explore the craft of writing and experiment with components such as finding a subject, shaping storyline, creating a scene, building character, handling dialog, using viewpoint. There’s no way to do any of this wrong—it’s all experiment and practice. Priming the Pump is for someone new at writing who wants to try out the experience or for anyone who wants to know more about the craft, get some

practice with the elements, and perhaps jump-start new ideas.

2016. REPORTAGE cert. course This drawing class is not for the faint of heart! Reportage is a high-energy, high-speed attempt to capture the essence of an event—or moment—in a sketchbook. It is an incredibly dynamic way to record your experiences out in the world without using a camera.

We will start in class, drawing from the model, covering skills and techniques needed to have a rewarding, expressive, journaling experience. In later classes, we will venture out into the real world where you will get to experience the thrills and challenges of reportage and likely produce some very raw and expressive gems! It is recommended that you have some drawing skill and experience before taking this class. Tuition includes models’ fees. Obtain materials list at The ArtsCenter front desk, prior to first class.

2085. ACTING INTENSIVE Students will express their creativity while learning fundamental acting skills.This class is designed to focus on two specific areas of acting technique: Instinct and Preparation. Class will begin with exercises and improvisations to deepen the actor’s sense of open honest listening and responding.

This moment-to-moment reality will be explored within the framework of behaving truthfully under imaginary circumstances.

The actor will explore character creation, needs, obstacles, and being in the moment.

Exercises are used to help actors dive into a character’s physical and emotional life, increase relaxation and concentration, and open up the actor’s instrument and imagination. Next, scenes are carefully chosen that both suit and challenge the actor. A step-by-step approach to scene work follows from analyzing text and making to specific effective choices, to developing a

Do you need to prepare for the upcoming theatre auditions? This is the perfect workshop for you. Auditioning is a skill all its own. Imagine the entire audition is your own one one-act play, which begins with your entrance and ends with your exit. It is a combination of “presentation of self” and “presentation of material.” The best way to become a good auditioner is through experience and commitment to preparation. This two-class workshop will cover monologues, cold readings and “presentation of self,” and will culminate in a mock audition where students will get an opportunity to apply everything that they’ve learned.

Lindy Hop - originally was the energetic form of partnered swing dancing that began in Harlem in the late 1920’s and continues to thrive today. Lindy works well with big band or jazz and can be danced to slower music as well. It takes a bit longer to get started as the basic is technically more difficult for both the Leader and the Follower, but the result is worth it as this dance has many fun variations.

Old School Lindy- this course will cover material that was danced back in the Savoy Ballroom in Harlem. This class is very influenced by Frankie Manning, one of the original Lindy Hoppers from the Savoy and chief choreographer for Whitey’s Lindy

Hoppers, and one of my first swing teachers. This is a fun class doing a style that every dancer used to know back in the day.

East Coast Swing—the most popular swing dance in the area and the easiest one to learn. Recommended if this is your first partner dance. Originally danced to Rock and Roll and Rhythm and Blues in the 1950’s, this style can be danced to many different kinds of music.

Blues - a form of East Coast Swing that is done to the slower tempos of blues music and R & B.

instructors Rebecca (Becky) Clewell is first and foremost a scientist, with a sense of curiosity that extends well past her day job. As a potter, she’s amazed (still) that it is possible to take a handful of clay and create a beautiful, useful and enduring piece of art. During her time at UNC, Becky found working with clay to be a much needed departure from the routine of graduate school. Yet, over time, it became clear to her that science and art are not quite as different as they may seem—the process of creating is in itself an experiment. Becky has had the pleasure of working at The ArtsCenter for several years and learning under the instruction of very talented potters, and she welcomes the opportunity to share what she’s learned with others who want to experiment with their own artistic tendencies.

John Fetvedt works primarily with silver, gold, and titanium. The techniques he uses include chain making, fold forming, casting, anticlastic raising, etching, forging and stone setting.He finds chain making particularly interesting because it combines art, mathematics and construction techniques into each different chain pattern: there is art in the way the finished jewelry decorates the body. Mathematics comes into play in calculating the new ring size to use when changing the wire gauge or creating a new pattern. The techniques needed to properly construct a pattern are like solving a jigsaw puzzle. John teaches chain making classes at the Bead and Button Show in Milwaukee, WI, the Crafts Center at NCSU, the William Holland School of Lapidary Arts in Young Harris GA, the Interweave Bead Fests, The ArtsCenter and the Sawtooth School for Visual Art in Winston-Salem.

Another result is that the capacity for abstraction is embellished by the increased “vocabulary” of images gained from drawing what you truly see, instead of what you think you see.This enriches the art-making process, whether your goal is to draw realistically or to deepen your abstract work.
