I am The ArtsCenter. A Message from our new Executive Director, Art Menius

The ArtsCenter Always Inspiring.

These are exciting times for The ArtsCenter. Thanks to your support,the hard work of The ArtsCenter board, staff, interim Executive Director Jay Miller, and our closest friends and advisors, and the confidence of the Nicholson Foundation, we have achieved a remarkable financial turnaround. We completed Fiscal Year 2012 at the end of June more than $100,000 to the good, one of the best results in the history of our organization. The ArtsCenter is once again the best investment in the arts in the area. We have many exciting events in the works. This catalog presents the richness and diversity of the offerings from our core activity, ArtSchool, a stunning set of classes that connects us with our original purpose back in 1974. As I write this in July,ArtsCamp is now in full swing at The ArtsCenter. 100 young folks in the building each day, happily discovering and exploring their artistic impulses, bring a special excitement.Young folks are at The ArtsCenter year-round, and our Afterschool Arts Immersion will resume with the start of the school year, as will the more than 80 school concerts we present here and at schools in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro system.The ArtsCenter’s Arts in Education program will again focus on Central Elementary in Hillsborough. ArtsCenter Stage has just announced its sensational 2012-13 season featuring the Southeast premiere of two productions (All is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914 and Walt), its participation in a nation-wide festival (44 Plays for 44 Presidents), and the Triangle’s perennial favorite, the 11th Annual 10 By 10 in the Triangle, a festival of new, ten-minute plays. Our greatest music presenting season ever will feature concerts by Suzanne Vega, Tim O’Brien, Roger McGuinn, Judy Collins, Los Lonely Boys, and many others. Look for bluegrass and old-time jam sessions to start on August 6 and a new narrative film screening series by area filmmakers in September. By then our friends at WCOMFM should be broadcasting from the East End Gallery of The ArtsCenter. Save the date for The ArtsCenter Honors on October 13 at UNC’s Friday Center.The remarkable Janis Ian will be the musical headliner, while the dynamic NC Secretary of Cultural Resources Linda Carlisle is scheduled to be our speaker. It all starts with your support of The ArtsCenter. Art Menius, Executive Director director@artscenterive.org

TOOLS FOR POETRY

Poetry is a remarkable, creative and intimate form of communication. Its beauty can be found in images, sounds, rhythm and even the visual placement of the Poet’s words on the page.

Tools for Poetry is designed to facilitate the writing of poems for those who are new to this form of creative writing. Each class will include an introduction to traditional poetic forms and readings from works by great poets. Participants will learn the uses of language, rhythm and rhyme, sound and punctuation. We will practice these tools so that in no time you will be writing your own poetry! Please bring a notebook and pen or pencil to each class. NEW!

REALISM TO ABSTRACTION (DRAWING AND PAINTING) cert. course Each class begins with drawing from still life or a live model.We’ll observe and identify basic elements of composition: shape, line and form, in order to take the subject from reality towards abstraction in three steps. By observing the subject and surrounding space the artist may identify what is essential according to a personal vision and thus emphasize the important elements to produce work with personal power and individuality. Students NEW!

can make the decision about the degree of departure from reality expressing personal choice by emphasizing line, shape or color. We begin the process with a black and white sketch and move to using pastel, watercolors or acrylics. During each class, the instructor will demonstrate three approaches to depicting the single subject, starting with an analysis of what we see to a decision of what we want to emphasize or eliminate. Students have the option of working on a single picture or moving from one approach to another to produce a series of 2 or 3 images. We will study abstraction in the 20th and 21st centuries to understand how artists have handled similar problems in the past. Tuition includes models’ fees. Obtain materials list at The ArtsCenter front desk, prior to first class.

1021. EXPLORING ABSTRACT ART (DRAWING AND PAINTING) The main difference becert. course tween representational and non-representational art is that, in the latter, we draw from inner (subjective) vision instead of outer (objective) vision. “Abstract” art includes the entire range between the two. The primary focus of the class is to access that inner vision and develop it. To do this effectively, one must be free of obstacles to this “creative source.” Using charcoal and tempera paint, our method (here comes the fun part!) is to practice the intuitive, right-brain oriented exercises—free of logic, labels, and judgment— that were created by early abstract artists. There will also be a bit of history, some discussion, and plenty of slides of some of the greats, for inspiration! With practice, students will begin to form their own personal “language” of shape, line, symbol and color, while also exploring basic drawing elements and composition. The new longer class time allows for more exercise

time! Beginners are welcome, as well as established artists who desire to deepen their art-making experience. Repeat students welcomed, too! $5 materials fee, due to instructor at first class. The instructor will discuss further materials during the first class.

The cyanotype, also known as the “blue print” or “sun print” provides a fun, easy and non-toxic exploration into the origins of photography. The basic cyanotype recipe has not changed very much since Sir John Herschel introduced it in 1842. It is often the first alternative process that people try because it is quite beautiful and expressive and can also be seen as a gateway to further exploration of historic photographic methods. In addition, it gives experienced photographers and artists a great excuse to take their eyes off the

1056. TOY CAMERA NEW! WORKSHOP Toy plastic cameras are simple and inexpensive, yet are full-fledged cameras that manage to function with a body made of plastic, a spring for a shutter and minimal adjustments. Made in China, Holgas (the most common toy camera) have boomed in popularity since hitting the fine art scene in the 1980s. An excellent introduction to medium format photography, a break from super-techy digitals, and a cheap toy to play with and shoot with abandon, the $20-$30 Holga is both a toy and a serious photographic tool, and it’s a heck of a lot of fun! Let go of complete control and allow the magic to happen. Some basic darkroom experience is required. Please bring your toy camera and film to the first class. There are many types, including your grandpa’s brownie, that will work, but a Holga or Diana are recommended. Recommended text: Plastic Cameras: Toying with Creativity by Michelle Bates

ADVANCED DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY: COMPOSITION AND EQUIPMENT—at The Century Center Are you familiar with basics of photography, such as effectively composing images, using aperture- and shutter-priority, the exposure triangle and depth of field? Are you also comfortable with digital photography with some understanding of workflow, file formats, white balance and color management? In this 4-week class, we continue with more compositional considerations in creating artful images for effect, such as balance, symmetry and asymmetry, golden ratio, golden spiral, triangulation, and avoiding “mergers.” We consider color theory to help in creating pleasing images. We problem-solve several potentially challenging shooting scenarios. Also, we discuss equipment choices that you may want to make, including tripods, monopods, and other portable stabilizing devices. For Digital SLR (DSLR) users, we consider types of lenses that may be useful for you. We discuss shooting in fully manual mode as well as “RAW” mode and present trade-offs of RAW vs. JPG photography. Please note: This class takes place at The Century Center at the intersection of Weaver and Greensboro Streets in Carrboro. Cosponsored with Carrboro Recreation and Parks Department

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 character and creating the role. This class is for the beginner AND advanced student. However, careful consideration will be given to the scripts chosen.

Students will become both creatively and technically comfortable while acting in front of the camera. Students will be exposed to a variety of on-camera acting techniques and will apply those skills to improvisation, exercises and scenes. They will explore different on-camera genres including film, episodic TV, commercials, and industrials. Students will learn about the framing of different shots, as well as important technical aspects including hitting your mark and physical and emotional continuity. The main focus of the class will be on the minimalistic style of film acting, the importance of listen-

ing and reacting, and the challenges actors face in finding truthful organic behavior in front of the camera.

Lindy Hop—originally was the energetic form of partnered swing dancing that began in Harlem in the late 1920s 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. 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 1950s, this style can be danced to many different kinds of music.

Adult and Youth Scholarship Application Applications will be processed only after all information is submitted and the application is filled out completely. Please return this application with requested support materials to The ArtsCenter Box Office during business hours, or mail to the address above. Please provide all requested information on this form so that The ArtsCenter can grant scholarships in a fair and consistent manner.

We are rarely able to fulfill all scholarship requests.
