Watercolor has inherent characteristics that, because of its fluidity, can produce an exciting expression that can be bold or subtle.

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.

Photography Instructor, Russell Levine

This class will revitalize your photography practice by exploring your relationship to your subject, your camera, and yourself.

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.

MEETUP GROUPS 29

MEETUP.COM/ART-OUT-OF-SCHOOL/ Organized and maintained by the Creative Arts School staff at Old School Square Our purpose is to reach out to those whose passion is drawing, painting and/or photography to help you explore your creative potential. Our mission is to create opportunities for beginner through master level artists to network, share ideas and expand their knowledge. Many of our members are teaching or are enrolled in classes at the Creative Arts School, but this is not a requirement for membership in the group. We look forward to having you join us, meet some new friends and have fun!

MEETUP.COM/PHOTOGRAPHY-THE-ART-OF-SEEING/ Organized and maintained independently by Jim Miller, Russell Levine and Irene Hill Welcome to our group of creative and talented photographers. Our mission is to help you explore your photographic potential, and to spread the passion for the “art of seeing” to others so that they may use the camera as an artistic tool, much as painters use their brushes. We welcome all those, regardless of experience, with an interest in advancing their photographic skills. Many of our members attend Fine Art Photography Classes at the Creative Arts School, but this is certainly not a requirement for membership in the group.

MEETUP.COM/PALMBEACHARTISTS/ Organized and maintained independently by Donna Walsh and Ralph Papa This meetup group is for art lovers and artists at all levels who love plein air painting in and around Palm Beach County and the surrounding South Florida vicinity. The group was organized by Ralph Papa & Donna Walsh in 2010 to bring artists together to paint the land, sea and city scapes in beautiful south Florida. We welcome resident artists and visiting artists at all levels to come out with us to paint and document today’s landscapes that contribute to tomorrow’s history.

MEETUP.COM/SOUTH-FLORIDA-FIGURE-AND-OUTDOOR-ARTISTS/ 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!

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.
