Welcome to the first day / night of Art Brief. I am writing to you as an ambassador of ART FOR WELL BEINGS. From this spot I hope to lead you into the findings of ART FOR WELL BEINGS and illuminate the artists and their work.
Today I had class with Joseph, Brandon and Emily. They worked on creating paintings like Karl Benjamin - a living artist - with a show opening in Oakland on 5/26/08 and an image in 5/23 Chronicle - who paints shapes. First they prepared their surfaces - One surface with micaceous iron oxide and one with a ground for pastel (Golden Paints). Then on a plain board they painted the shapes, two sides of an aisle and about four figures on each sides. We painted in greens, golds, and grays.
Lovely.
One highlight of the session occured when I began to explain the sequence of painting to Emily and she said she didn't want a lecture, so I started talking like a baby. I continued talking like a baby morphing into a college professor morphing back into a cooing baby. Emily laughed harder at Brandon dragging his feet accross the floor.
Very Hot weather.
let me know if there is anything you want to know more about.
Best,
Judy
