A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR Welcome to the Creative Arts School at Old School Square!

Not too long ago, I came across a list that I had created for myself. I titled it my “Want To Do List”. It included a few things that I use to thoroughly enjoy doing for myself. For one excuse or another, each of my activities gradually fell by the wayside… work, kids, school, money, time, energy etc. Life just happened! So, I thought I would share my list with all of you.

My “Want To Do List” • Create more photography • Create art • Read more books • Take a glass art class We all know that life gets busy, work is hectic, running kids here and there. Just the normal daily grind can be overwhelming. I am honored to work in such a vibrant place where I am surrounded by creative and talented people everyday. I have decided to implement my “Want to do list” and take the time to do the things that replenish me, relax me and fills that creative outlet. I urge all of you to create your own WANT TO DO LIST and follow through for YOURSELF this year!

Most of the things you see on my list are the VERY things I encourage our students to do. So, this Fall & Winter, let the Creative Art School be your release, your get away. A place where you can come to refuel, rejuvenate or reconnect with the person you used to be or the person

A FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE AWAITS, SEPTEMBER 2018!

1ST ANNUAL ART/PHOTOGRAPHY TRAVEL EXCURSION TO ITALY! THE SPLENDORS of ROME and the Amalfi Coast To all who love art or photography… AND travel. The Creative Arts School has an exciting, new opportunity just for you! We’re proud to announce our 1st annual ART/PHOTOGRAPHY TRAVEL EXCURSION to ITALY. Your creative journey will be led by our own talented and well-traveled instructors, RALPH PAPA, artist and IRENE HILL, photographer. Combined, they have over 40 years of travel knowledge and group tour experience!

This trip is the perfect marriage between your drive for creative expression, travel and your appreciation of all things Italian. Indulge yourself with all your passions for travel, art, and photography as we start our journey in the “Eternal city,” Rome, where you’ll discover some of the most memorable landmarks such as the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, Spanish Steps, the magical Trevi Fountain, among many others led by local expert guides. Then, relax and say “Ciao, ciao!” to Rome as you make your way to Southern Italy and the lively town of Sorrento, the perfect gateway to the gorgeous Amalfi Coast.

From Sorrento, you will explore the surrounding area, and visit the awe-inspiring villages of Amalfi along the ‘Costiera.’ Be inspired by the Mediterranean-chic town of Positano, where you’ll spend the day exploring, relaxing on the beach, taking pictures, making sketches of the dramatic coastline and capturing the charm of this quaint village. Breathe as you witness the first-class view of the coastline from the sea and Ravello with its aristocratic villas clinging to the mountainside and vast views of lemon orchards planted on terraced cliffs. “I will have a Limoncello please!” Of course, while on the Amalfi Coast, you’ll experience the spectacular island of Capri. Get lost in this beautiful Mediterranean island retreat - ride the cable car up to Capri town, visit the remains of Emperor Tiberius’s Villa Jovis, or take a cab up to the old town of Anacapri. Enjoy a picturesque walk to the top of the island, while passing by fragrant groves of chestnut, pine, lemon, and olive trees, and rose gardens spilling over elegant villa walls. Alternatively, go for a memorable boat tour around the island, where you’ll have the chance to go into the Blue Grotto. The island is an ideal place where painters, photographers, and artists can simply relax, enjoy the beauty of nature and wait for the inspiration to wash over them like the salty Mediterranean breezes. You will return to the Eternal City for the last two nights of your trip. Visit more amazing historical sites, such as a Vatican tour guided by a local, licensed City Guide, the impressive St. Peter’s Basilica and the Vatican Museums, which include Michelangelo’s head-tilting and jaw-dropping masterpiece, the Sistine Chapel.

Impara qualcosa di nuovo!

Through guided step-by-step prompts and demos at the start of each class you’ll allow your paintings to emerge. This is not a class about replicating a particular image or style or copying photos. Rather, the course encourages you to think outside the box and explore what is intuitive and organic to you. There will be instruction in color, paint mixing, composition, layering and the use of various tools; however, the focus will be to nurture you to dive into creativity. There are no “mistakes” in this class, only opportunities to let go of preconceived notions and build confidence. The class is open to anyone with a desire to play and discover.

BEGINNING WATERCOLOR – Manny Jomok Watercolor has inherent characteristics that, because of its fluidity, can produce an exciting expression that can be bold or subtle. This course will teach techniques to produce loose, spontaneous brush strokes that “indicate not duplicate” what is seen; applying paint in a way that’s different from other mediums, even from some other watercolor methods taught. The course will teach traditional realism in the manner found in the paintings of Homer, Sargent, Monet and the Impressionists as they dealt with the concept of light and how light affects form, color, value and composition. Students will first learn a brief history of watercolor, which will enhance their appreciation of the medium. They will learn about materials, equipment and terminology associated with watercolors. The primary goals of this beginner’s class are to learn basic watercolor painting skills and to apply these skills to create a successful work of art using a photo image.

DRAWING CLASSES DRAW IT - Beth Sloat INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED Students asked for a drawing class that would be followed by opportunities to paint the same subject.

This is it! Drawing mainly from still life setups, and later, possibly from photo references, we will explore the possibilities of representation with drawing media and techniques. There will be instruction and critiques. A drawing will be an end in itself, but also a preparation for painting in the PAINT IT! class. Although the class is linked, It may be taken independently. Some drawing experience is recommended.

Monday 9:00 pm – 12:00 pm | All Terms Fee: T1 $231 6 wk, T2 $267 7 wk, T3 $231 6 wk, T4 $267 7 wk Art Instructor, Beth Sloat

Learning to draw can be a life changing experience and drawing is the gateway to all the visual arts. Students will become acquainted with various drawing tools and learn to draw realistically from observation with exercises that include line, shape, mark making, shading, perspective and composition. Working from still life set ups, drawings will create the illusion of 3-dimensions on a 2 dimensional surface. The instructor provides demonstrations and individual attention.

This class will alternate terms with Painting 101.

PERSPECTIVE FOR THE ARTIST - Sid DelMar Leach BEGINNER It is obvious to the viewer of any painting of a traditionally realistic subject matter if the artist who created the painting did not understand the “rules” of perspective. In this class, we will examine these “tools” that have been handed down historically. Perspective is most important in the creation of any painting or drawing. I have been teaching my methods for many years and they are easy to understand for both beginning and advanced students. I will reference my book on this subject, Photographic perspective drawing techniques.

The techniques of understanding the fundamentals of perspective will be examined carefully in the course.

Using perspective “lines” from “vanishing points” found on most photographs will be the basis of our studies.

Tracing paper overlays with pencil line work will be closely examined in much detail.

ESSENCE OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Evan Reinheimer ALL LEVELS 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 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; 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 dynamic 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.

CHAD PREGRACKE, ENVIRONMENTALIST Mission On The Mississippi Chad Pregracke literally grew up on the Mississippi River. Maybe that’s why he took the job of cleaning it so personally. In 1998, when Chad was only 23, he took on the task that no one else would, and he did it by himself—at first, anyway. Over the past 19 years, he’s acquired a lifetime of adventures on the river, and developed a network of 98,000 volunteers to clean up 23 rivers across the country.

INTERMEDIATE AND ADVANCED FICTION - Winston Aarons This course is for students who have completed or already have a work in progress. This is a critique course in which students will read and discuss their works in class and get instructive feedback from their classmates and the instructor. The instructor will act as guide, facilitator and mentor, providing each student with directives that will help them write more engaging dialogues, understand the process of character development, plot, foreshadowing, and the other literary devices that go toward making strong believable works in which characters come alive and breathe. Since the instructor believes reading is an essential part of writing—we learn from other writers— he will also, after reading and evaluating each student’s work, provide a list of authors whose works he thinks will help strengthen their personal styles and assist them in finding their own voice. The instructor’s agenda is to help students move forward with their manuscripts and take them closer to publication.
