SUMMARY:Alight and Allure EMILY MINNIE
DESCRIPTION:LOCATED IN THE COMMUNITY GALLERY (FIRST FLOOR) \nArtist Biography\nEmily Lambertsen Minnie is an artist who specializes in charcoal drawing and oil painting. She\nearned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Northern Iowa and a Master of\nFine Arts degree from the University of Tennessee. Emily taught art for three years at Tulane\nUniversity in New Orleans before living and working as an artist and illustrator for seven years in\nBrooklyn\, NY. In the summer of 2016 she moved back to Iowa. She currently enjoys dividing her\ntime between drawing and painting in her Iowa City home studio\, working for the Iowa City\nSchool District and family time spent with her husband and two children. \nArtist Statement\nMy art practice is the study\, investigation and re-creation of images that entice and allure me\ndue to the beauty of their light and composition and the drama created by the human form\nfrozen in a moment. I employ the ability of a two-dimensional artwork whose source is photo or\nfilm\, to feel personal and familiar while working to create artwork that is separated from its\nsource material’s narrative and considered for its core essence.   \nMy charcoal series consists of 19” x 30” drawings on BFK Rives Paper. I love to watch the\ndrama created on the gallery wall by these black and white images. From afar they look like\ntheir source film still. Up close\, they reduce to illusions of light and velvety smudges of charcoal. \nMy wall installations are made sight specific to fit the wall. They are created from small\, hand\ndrawn pencil sketches and watercolors that are scanned\, enlarged and printed on pre-pasted\nwallpaper. In a gallery\, the change of scale to life-sized adds a human connection and the\nenlarged nature reveals an exaggerated artist’s mark. \nMy oil paintings are created on gallery wrapped 24” x 36” canvas. My canvas preparation\nconsists of 3 coats of gesso with a fine grit sanding between each coat. While painting\, I get lost\nin the textured and smooth layers of warm and cool tones mingling together. I find great\nsatisfaction creating paintings of figures that\, even in their stillness\, interact with the space and\nthe light around them.

SUMMARY:Visiting Artist Workshop: Creating a Tonal Image in Charcoal and Paint  
DESCRIPTION:Creating a Tonal Image in Charcoal and Paint  \nSaturday\, July 27\n1 – 5 pm (4 – 5 pm critique session)\nNorth Studio\nClass Limit: 16\n$250   Member discounts may not be applied to this special workshop.\n\n\n \nIn this workshop we will learn the basics of charcoal drawing to get a quick impression of any image. These skills are crucial for planning tonal schemes in drawing and painting. The same basics can be applied to drawing in paint. The backbone of a quick painting is a good drawing with organized values. We will make a monotone drawing in paint using the same principles of charcoal. These skills will be enormously helpful in all varieties of quick sketch. \n \nPlease bring the following supplies:\nVine or willow charcoal (paper and canvas to be supplied by me)\nSmall tube of raw umber oil paint \nA few brushes of varying size. One of those little brush kits at hobby lobby is fine. \nA small bottle of Gamsol or Odorless mineral spirit of your choice. \n \n\nVisiting Artist: Ananda Fetherston\, a Slater\, Iowa born fine artist\, was educated under Jacob Collins at the Grand Central Atelier in New York City. She has exhibited in New York where she lives with her husband\, a fellow painter. In addition to oil painting and drawing\, Ananda is a printmaker. \n\n \nAnanda will also be teaching a workshop on Thursday\, July 25\, Creating a Precise Linear Drawing for Painting.\n\n \n\n\nRegistration closes on at 5pm on 7/25/19 or when the workshop fills. \n\nTo register: \n\nenter the number of “tickets” you want below (one ticket per student)\nclick “add to cart”  \ncomplete the contact information form that appears after you add a ticket\ncomplete the payment information\ncheck your email for your receipt\n\nPlease contact us with any registration questions or concerns.
