NEW! INSTALLATION ART ADVANCED INSTALLATION ART – Peter Pereira Peter G. Pereira, creator of the Trees of Life Sculpture and Multimedia Installation Series will introduce you to advanced study of this groundbreaking and exciting course: Installation Art. This course will delve into the art of installation as a deeper, more focused, more transitory narration: translating our (2D and 3D) indoor models of installation art to outdoor sites (4D). We will plan and site an indoor installation themed around a poem or song, for example, made up of elements of your objects, art or ideas. The challenge and excitement comes as we think of translating indoor to outdoor, where we welcome new interactive elements and spaces – nature’s flora/ fauna, scale, changing sunlight and shade, interactivity/people, season and time (among the honking horns, the accidental thunderstorm, etc.) This stretches us creatively in fun and profound ways!

Art Instructor, Peter Pereira

So bring one along to class!

Eli Cedrone (elicedrone.com) Soon after graduation from the School of Art & Design, Suffolk University in Boston, Cedrone began her career in Bermuda at Saatchi & Saatchi Advertising.

She returned to Boston in 1996 where she continued studies at the School of the MFA and began painting full-time. Eli teaches workshop nationally and in Bermuda, California and Italy. Artist Statement: I’ve always been influenced by the power of images to express ideas and emotions. Painting is a process of discovery and decision making where disparate elements pull together until the image is clearly expressed. Primarily I work in oils and feel it’s important to work from life at least initially. I’m drawn to the human form where figures exist both in representational and painterly worlds. I will often explore a narrative theme in order to capture the emotional power of a moment in time. Ultimately my concerns are with the expressive qualities of light captured with paint. Contemporary Impressionism best describes my style. February 17, 18 & 19, 2017 | 9:30 am – 4:30 pm | Fee: $540

PHOTOGRAPHY CLASSES THE ESSENCE OF PHOTOGRAPHY – Gary John Norman ALL LEVELS This class will revitalize your photography practice by exploring your relationship to your subject, your camera, and yourself. Through photo exercises, assignments, and field trips, we will learn to deepen our visual awareness while clarifying our approach, so that image making becomes both more personal and meaningful. This class will provide a unique opportunity to rethink our expectations of what it means to ‘see’. We will work on simplicity and making more powerful photographs, supporting the notion that a photograph is not ‘taken’ but made. Attention will be paid to lighting, composition, depth-of-field and exposure issues, but more importantly, you will practice using this information to make more powerful and meaningful images. Bring a sense of commitment (and sense of humor) and curiosity to class, as well as a few examples of recent work to the first session. Photography Instructor, Gary John Norman
