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 Spring & Summer, 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 you want to become. Come find yourself again. Engage in the activities that fill you up. Make time for your passions. Make time for yourself! Sharon Morgan Director of the Creative Arts School – Old School Square smorgan@oldschool.org | 561 243 7922 x317

Photo by Lee Gordon
I quickly found out that I wasn’t in just a photography class. It is actually a vibrant community of photographic artists that learn from each other’s explorations and benefit from class interaction and support. The class atmosphere didn’t happen by accident and is why many of the students attend on a continuous basis—it has been fostered by Lee in the way he channels constructive criticism so that it is appropriate to each student’s place in their individual ‘development arc’. Lee has a broad teaching style—he approaches photography from technical, artistic, psychological and art history directions. Students who are strong in only one or two of these areas benefit from this exposure. Lee encourages each student to improve their vision and technique and to branch out into parts of the photographic process that are new to them. Lee has made the class into something that I look forward to attending each week.
KUDOS FROM OUR STUDENTS…
While I have been painting abstract art for a couple of years (after many years of painting realism), prior to Sally Cooper’s class, I didn’t have an adequate road map for the process. She has provided a great deal of valuable information on mediums, mark making, tools for making those marks, good composition, and preparing a canvas. For that I am truly grateful. I have been attending her class in Delray for about a year now, and Sally’s mentorship has been invaluable. I have learned a great deal about what is involved in painting an abstract, and bringing my work to resolution. I think now my paintings are much more alive and interesting.

A FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE AWAITS, SEPTEMBER 2018! 1ST ANNUAL ART/PHOTOGRAPHY TRAVEL EXCURSION TO ITALY! 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, Carla Golembe, 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. Throughout your excursions, you will savor traditional dishes and delectable wines while relaxing in southern Italy’s friendly lifestyle. 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! (Translation - Learn something new!) For more information, Contact Sharon Morgan, Director of the Creative Arts School, smorgan@oldschool.org

INSTALLATION ART CLASSES 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
Are you a writer/poet, musician, painter, sculptor, photographer, movie-maker, dancer, gymnast, engineer, astronomer, chef, or some combination? This inclusive course explores installation art in all media and will incorporate your media including photographs, paintings, drawings, video, sound and sculptural materials in the exciting field of mixed and multimedia installation works. So, bring one along to class! The weeks of creating installations will also include planning out and basic site exploration of your chosen object(s), the indoor installations, dimensions, scale, indoor/outdoor facets of our work including materials, ecology/impact, carbon footprint, construction, budgeting and multimedia. We will also introduce techniques for documenting the process, which will make the project a film in the making! Join us for this multi-dimensional journey! Completion of assignments may require some fun time outside of class! Assembly fee included in class price. Materials not included – Participants are required to provide their own materials. Monday 7:00 pm – 9:30 pm | ALL Terms | Fee: $175 4 wk

ART WORKSHOPS PERSPECTIVE FOR THE ARTIST – Sid DelMar Leach ALL LEVELS – 2 DAY WORKSHOP Perspective does not have to be a frightening process to overcome. 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. We will work with many examples taken from the text book. The techniques of understanding the fundamentals of perspective will be examined carefully in the course.

PAINTING IN MONOCHROMATIC – John Grande ALL LEVELS - 2 DAY OIL WORKSHOP I know – I know. No COLOR? This was my reaction when my professor told my class. Though I was hesitant, I found this to be amazingly helpful and one of the most important tools to understanding structure with painting. In this workshop, you will learn the importance of working monochromatically. Stripping the painting process down to its core. You will understand and break down a painting into its simplest form. We will be learning the basis of a closed palette to creating an underpainting using only black and the white and building up your painting. These methods and techniques have been used by artists throughout the history of painting. You will work from photographic reference or a still life study of your own. Art Instructor, John Grande

JOHN GRANDE was born in 1969 in Huntington, Long Island. He attended the School of Visual Arts in 1995 earning his BFA. After graduating, Grande moved to NYC and worked as a professional C Printer at several high-end photo labs in NYC. During this time, John Grande printed for such high-end fashion, music and fine art photographers like Mick Rock - Miles Aldrich – Jack Pearson – Annie Liebovitz – Marc Baptiste – Giles Bensimon – Jerry Schatzberg to name a few. This practice highly influenced his personal work allowing him to assess their work - study their compositions and visual techniques for creating a successful image. Since that time, Grande has exhibited in solo and group shows throughout the world (New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Washington DC, Korea, Italy, India, Canada). Grande is a photo-based artist who works in project form, using photo reference to produce a ”photo realistic” style with paint into a visual dialogue while constantly searching for different ways of solving contextual problems and ideas. He incorporates pop culture – contemporary or retro – branding symbols – advertising logos – superheroes – phrases and art. Grande interweaves them together transforming their original meanings and continuously adding to the vocabulary of art. His current work is about exploring “the deconstruction of popular culture through advert street posting and the investigation of this thought into material.” “My art comes from the history of art and the culture of our times. I am interested in work that is derived out of today’s overwhelming multimedia world.” View his work at: johngrande.com

Organized and maintained independently by Santiago Perez. This group of visual artists has a deep passion in figurative drawing and painting as well as plein air/outdoor painting of landscapes and urbanscapes. Meetup intentions are to bring the artist community out and make new friends. Let’s work together and strengthen our skills while we draw, paint and talk. Focus is on representational art with an emphasis on realism/pseudo-realism /surrealism. All levels welcome. Bring creative ideas out of the box but with boundaries that keep the art an upper level of beauty. Also contemplate current, past and upcoming trends and how we as artists feel and cope with them. Together we feed each other’s creative hunger as well as make things happen in the arts!

FOUNDED IN 1986 Old School Square is an award-winning arts center and the cultural heart of Delray Beach. The campus includes early 20th century school buildings, which were beautifully restored and re-adapted to house the Crest Theatre – with the Creative Arts School on the second floor, the Cornell Museum and the Fieldhouse. Also on the campus is The Pavilion, a state-of-the-art outdoor performance venue. By combining historic preservation and the arts, Old School Square became the catalyst for the 1990’s renaissance of downtown Delray Beach, now regarded as one the hottest destinations in the country. In 2012 Delray Beach was named “America’s Most Fun Small Town” by Rand McNally and USA Today. Old School Square is a community gathering place for a diverse schedule of activities. Nearly half a million people come to Old School Square each year for performances, lectures, exhibits, concerts, tours, classes, events, festivals, and rental activities such as weddings, receptions, private parties, and corporate events.
