Create your Summer at the School of Art Class Registration is Now Open!

t’s finally summer and we are dreaming of relaxing breezy mornings, afternoons, and evenings in the School of Art studios. Registration is underway for the Community Arts Education classes taking place during July. Join us and add art to your summer days.

NEW! The Kids Summer Art Institute has more session options! All Drawing and Painting classes for ages 4 through 12 are available for one, two, three, or four weeks. For the same ages, Ceramic and Sculpture classes are available in two-week courses, diving deep into 3D materials and processes. Since variety is the spice of life, course content changes each session. There are three amazing classes for teens (13-17) this summer. Beginning Jewelry is a creative and skill-driven class that teaches students to master all things, torches and metals to stones and bezels. Teen Drawing and Painting, taught by Sandra

DeVisser, is the best class around for teens who want to seriously improve their art game. For students in 10th, 11th, and 12th grades, the College Prep Portfolio class is a must to solidify their drawing and presentation skills while building a robust body of work for college review. Adults have a variety of classes for all skill levels to explore; The Figure Drawing Salon, Studio Painting, Digital Photography/Photoshop, Mold Making, Steel Fabrication, Jewelry, and Plein Aire Painting. Bryan McGrath will be hosting an intensive Wood Firing Ceramics workshop, Aesthetics of Heat and Ash, for intermediate/advanced students June 6 through 14. All classes begin in July with the exception of the ceramics workshop and Adult Advanced Jewelry beginning early June. For a details of courses and workshops offer this summer or to register for classes, please visit www.mwpai.org/learn or contact the School of Art at 797-8260.

Parisian-Market Reception

Ms. Steele will explores the connections between fashion and modernity that fascinated French 19th-century artists and poets. Paris provided numerous arenas for fashionable display, such as the new opera, the boulevards, and the couture atelier. There was a veritable retail revolution, with the rise of the department store, as well as a burgeoning fashion press. The image of la Parisienne, the New Woman, and the dandy became iconic figures.

Spend the Summer with Peasants and Parisians June 12 thr ough September 13

he Museum of Art proudly showcases notable works on paper, all from the MWPAI permanent collection, in Peasants and Parisians: French 19thCentury Graphic Arts, on view June 12 through September 13. This exhibition complements Monet to Matisse: The Age of French Impressionism by demonstrating the widespread role printmaking played in visual arts circles of the period. France in the 19th century was a politically, economically, and socially volatile place, complete with revolution, industrial expansion, increased travel on newly developed railway systems, and the rise of a middle class, the bourgeoisie. Artists observed and sometimes participated in the upheavals, and created work through it all. Peasants and Parisians includes 77 original prints made throughout the century by artists famous and not-so famous. The early 19th-century Romantic era is represented by striking lithographs of Eugène Delacroix. Biting caricatures by Honoré Daumier skewer artists, social climbers, and most everyone else, too. There is a host of rural landscape etchings that casts a romanticized view of farm life. Large, colorful lithographs by Pierre Auguste Renoir, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Pierre Bonnard, and Paul Cézanne are testaments to the publishing ambitions of that new species of being, the art dealer. The Museum invites visitors to this special opportunity to see and enjoy works of art that are not typically on view. Honoré Daumier (French, 1808-79), Les Beaux jours de la vie, no. 15, 1844, hand-colored lithograph on paper, 14 x 10 13/16 in., Gift of Edward W. Root, 53.32

Pierre-Auguste Renoir (French 1841-1919), The Hat Pin, c. 1893, color lithograph, 20 1/2 x 21 in. Gift of the Estate of Dr. and Mrs. Louis A. Shaheen, 2014.23.6

Support the Film Series Upgrade to Digital Format

he MWPAI Film Series is about to join the “digital evolution.” Cinemas around the world have been converting to the use of digital projection equipment rather than “traditional” celluloid film projectors. This digital “roll out” began in earnest around 2005 and since then over 85% of the cinema screens in the US have been converted to digital. Over the last few years, MWPAI has weighed the pros and cons of this option against the costs involved with the transition. Many small independent movie houses have struggled or closed as a result of their inability to keep pace with this technology. The MWPAI Film Series has been an important part of our community for generations and has adapted with every new innovation.

benefit levels listed below. Your support will have a meaningful impact on the success of the project and help propel the series forward to its next evolution.

The conversion project includes a number of improvements to the Museum of Art Auditorium. The new equipment required for the Digital Conversion includes a state-of-the-art digital projector with brighter lamp output and a faster refresh rate to produce a high-definition picture with little to no image blur. Films will either be downloaded to the system from secure internet servers or delivered on a dedicated harddrive. This will be supported by a Dolby® sound processor and new speakers and amplifiers with balanced output for cleaner digital sound quality. Energy-efficient theater lighting will be installed, and the assisted-listening system will be upgraded to an Induction Hearing Loop that will broadcast the film’s soundtrack directly to personal hearing aids or implants that are equipped with T-Coil technology.

Recognition in MWPAI Publications 4 Tickets to the Grand Re-Opening Event Blu-Ray Disc (or DVD) of a Film Series favorite title

Once the project is complete, the Film Series will have access to a larger selection of titles, resolving an issue that has recently become more prevalent. With most studios and distribution companies moving to digital formats, our selection of titles has become narrowed to just a handful of providers. Digital flexibility will allow us to explore new avenues of programming such as live events and virtual exhibition tours from international museums. We are now asking for support from our MWPAI Members and the dedicated patrons of the Film Series. Please consider making a contribution to the Film Series Digital Conversion project at any of the
