<span style="font-size: large;">WORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONS</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">JOURNALING, BLIND DRAWING and MAKING YOUR OWN JOY</span> with Suzana Norberg<br />
<br />
As an advertising copywriter, Sue discovered the joy of art late in life. Inspired by “Harriett The Spy,” her favorite book as a child, Sue always kept a notebook of observations and snippets of overheard conversations.<br />
<br />
But it wasn’t until the accidental discovery of three fabulous and freeing books that Sue began incorporating drawing into her work. See the three books that changed Sue’s creative life, page through her journals, and be prepared to draw with your eyes closed. Then apply it all to recording your weekend in a sketchbook that will be provided.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">PLEIN AIR PAINTING</span> with Jen Bottoms<br />
<br />
Plein Air Painting is painting outdoors. Using oils, acrylics or watercolors whatever is your medium of choice, you will learn simple pallet color and placement while exploring the great outdoors and your personal emotions with the intent of taking out the intimidation factor. Realistic and non-realistic painters alike will love this enabling workshop that will set your spirit free and help you create<br />
flowing, eye appealing works of art. Just let yourself go!<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">YOGA FOR BEGINNERS</span> with Midge Hyde<br />
<br />
Midge has done yoga for over 10 years. She plans to do light yoga exercises, first a warm up, practicing shallow and deep breathing. She reccomends everyone who has a yoga mat to bring it along. We will do mostly standing poses in case there are not enough mats for seated poses. The poses she likes are good stretches and parts of sun salutations, nothing too strenuous, just good stretching and deep breathing....a good way to end or start a day.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #20124d;">ENCAUSTIC COLLAGE</span> with Jaime Lyerly<br />
<br />
Encaustic is beeswax, damar resin and pigment applied to a surface hot and fused using heat. We will not be using pigment but instead, be learning the basic techniques of of encaustic collage in this workshop. We will explore layering, collage, incising, embedding and transfers. There will be plenty of time for hands on experimentation. Bring your own collage elements and get ready to try this “hot” way of painting.<br />
<br />
ABOUT CAMP STEVENS and WCA/SD RETREAT<br />
<br />
We will stay in the Wolterstorff Lodge, which was built from the ashes of the Bishop’s Lodge, destroyed in the “Angel Fire” of September 2007. The lodge has 24 beds; 4 six person rooms with 2 shared baths, and a meeting room with a fireplace. The OUTDOOR FACILITIES include tree house, outdoor chapel and other outdoor meeting and gathering spaces.

I plan to focus on this direction in my work for the next few years.</span> <span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);"><br /><br />One project, "The Tag Project", was started in New York - I replicated 1011 tags from internees from my hometown (San Diego/Chula Vista). I was inspired by the thousands of folded origami cranes I saw at the Hiroshima Peace memorial and this group of tags was called "Cascade". I was also deeply moved by the photos of Dorothea Lange, one is shown above: it was her photos that initially provided the physical and emotional weight of the internment, and how it so profoundly affected the Japanese American citizens during and for years to come. All Japanese Americans were rounded up in 1942 and each were issued a tag and an ID number designating their destination: one of several internment camps, all in desolate deserted areas of the United States. The most haunting and striking photos were of the families wearing tags at the various assembly centers before being shipped off by train to these remote areas.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">I was taken by the weight of these tags when they were completed and hung, despite appearing to be light and airy. This struck me as being very relevant to the way the internment was perceived by the general American Public. To this day it shocks me to still run into fellow Americans who had no clue that this had happened. I am going to commit to making all 120,000 tags, for all the Japanese Americans who were sent to all the camps. I feel that the sheer numbers and the scale of these tags will convey to all who view this that the internment was a massive project that was to affect an entire culture of people and their future generations.</span><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#%21/group.php?gid=112725604925&v=wall"> </a><br />Find out more on the <a href="http://eo9066.blogspot.com/">The TAG Project: E.O. 9066 Blog. </a><br /><br />Interview with Wendy in <span style="font-style: italic;">American Craft Magazine </span>- <a href="http://www.americancraftmag.org/blog-post.php?id=9019">"The Tag Project: In Search of Cultural Memory"</a><br /><br />Tag Project Video<br /><br /><object height="225" width="400"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><param name="movie" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8774422&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1"><embed src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=8774422&server=vimeo.com&show_title=1&show_byline=1&show_portrait=0&color=&fullscreen=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" height="225" width="400"></embed></object><p><a href="http://vimeo.com/8774422">The Tag Project | Poston</a> from <a href="http://vimeo.com/xavaz">xavier vasquez</a> on <a href="http://vimeo.com/">Vimeo</a>.</p><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">About Wendy Maruyama -<br /></p><p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sc3Gz-3j7ng/TAlpX4zOZFI/AAAAAAAABbQ/fX71JtFkwqo/s1600/wendymaruyamabio.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 114px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_sc3Gz-3j7ng/TAlpX4zOZFI/AAAAAAAABbQ/fX71JtFkwqo/s320/wendymaruyamabio.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479026280778064978" border="0" /></a>Wendy Maruyama is Head of the <a href="http://sdsufurniture.com/home.html">San Diego State Furniture Design </a>/Woodworking program and has taught at SDSU since 1989.

This will be our club's 9th trip. The purpose of this trip is not only for our Nawleanteers (New Orleans+ Volunteers) to rebuild houses, re-do landscaping and community centers, but also to spread the word about Louisiana's destroyed condition. The media has neglected to shine light upon this issue, even 5 years after the actual event; we want to enlighten Americans about this ongoing issue, here on US soil. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 102);">We would be ecstatic if you could talk for a few minutes about our cause at your general meetings, as well mention our CSNO ART RELIEF SILENT AUCTION.

i am hosting a huge gARTage sale next saturday, march 13 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at my house (garage) in La Mesa. <br />
<br />
we will have several artists selling their studio overflow -i.e. art supplies, papers, books, tools, craft materials etc. i don't think there will be art for sale (that's a different event).<br />
<br />
if you have something to sell, you may bring it early with a tag on it. <br />
the tag needs to have this info on it:<br />
<br />
you name<br />
your price<br />
short general title of item (i.e. paper, pens, paints, etc)<br />
a place to mark "sold" and a place to write the final bargaining price. <br />
then duplicate that info onto the same tag so that we can tear that tag in half. <br />
half the tag goes to the cashier and the other half goes back to you. <br />
<br />
or you could stay and help and sell you own stuff.<br />
and, if you are interested in bartering - just bring your stuff and hang around for awhile to barter with whomever may be present. i will leave that part to you. <br />
if you feel so inclined bring starbucks! to share with me! ok.<br />
<br />
<br />
if you donate stuff to sell or just leave your stuff behind, i will take it to a charity organization like AMVETS or Goodwill.<br />
if you are interested in attending or participating email me at lisabebiart@aol.com for my address. i don't want to post my home address on the internet...<br />
thanks, lisa bebi<br />

You get to invent the ways! You get to think like an eight-year-old and draw outside the lines. Experiment, do quick sketches, and try working with new materials like charcoal taped to a stick, graphite crayons, and mixing oil pastel with India ink. Get inspired by Rembrandt, Van Gogh and your kid sister.</span><br /><br />Here is the information from the website:<br /><br />An expressive drawing workshop... Drawing trees is the theme and the focus is intuition, spontaneity and invention. You’ll do lots and lots of quick sketches using memory, observation and imagination. Find ways to draw trees by playing with line like you might play a melody on a saxophone. Experiment with different kinds of drawing tools from graphite sticks to long straws dipped in ink. This is an opportunity to try new things whether or not you have ever taken a drawing class before, or if you’re looking to refresh some sparks. <p class="style68">$62 members / $72 non-members Materials fee $10</p> <p class="style374"><strong><span class="style8">Monday, January 18</span> 10am – 3pm</strong></p> <p class="style374"><strong><span class="style8">Sunday, February 28</span> 10am – 3pm</strong></p> <p class="style374"><strong><span class="style8">Sunday, April 11</span> 10am – 3pm</strong></p><p class="style374"><strong><br /></strong></p><span style="color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">Taught by an inspired mixed media artist, <a href="http://www.bravoschoolofart.com/Instructors/valeriesamuelhen.html">Valerie Samuel Henderson</a> (BFA in Painting, Mass.

But I believe in my Board will make this happen!<br /><br />Now back to Art making! ~ Jaime LyerlyUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539706897231798505.post-91815191857271435942010-01-05T12:07:00.000-08:002010-01-05T12:11:28.605-08:00"Starving to Successful" Author Jason Horejs at the FREE smARTist Preview Call, TONIGHT!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=887631"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_sc3Gz-3j7ng/S0ObTepHFzI/AAAAAAAAAxk/JBT1qJwk7UQ/s200/smartist-2010-logo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5423349135229523762" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"> </span>Last minute change to the Free smARTist Preview call that I wrote about in last week's post<a href="http://jaimelyerly.blogspot.com/2009/12/artists-twitter-and-2010-smartist.html"> Twitter and smARTist 2010.</a> <span style="font-size:130%;">Now it is focused on finding your own path to success.</span><br /><br />See the information below about the Free Preview call tonight!<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"> </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">You know that success in the art world doesn't follow the same path for every artist.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">And it's great to hear how other artists have figured out their path – you'll get ideas, tips, and suggestions to mix-and-match and use to smooth your own path!</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"> </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);">Jason Horejs grew up in the art world – literally: his father is successful painter, John Horejs.</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"> </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"><br /><br />Jason owns Xanadu Gallery and is the author of Starving to Successful: How to Find and Keep the Right Gallery for Your Art, at Any Stage of Your Career.

So you will get my testimony and plug for this awesome event now while you are in the frenzy of holiday preparations. Don't worry; I won't take up too much of your time!<br /><br />The 2009 smARTist Telesummit launched my art career last January. I found out about it through the <a href="http://www.1automationwiz.com/app/?af=932524">Art Biz Coach</a>, Alyson Stanfield, since she was one of the Keynote Speakers.<br /><br />I had just started reading her book <a href="http://www.1automationwiz.com/app/?af=932524">"I'd rather be in the Studio,"</a> and was decompressing from another long and grueling college semester. But the timing was right for me. The smARTist Telesummit is in between my Fall semester and the start of Spring semester. I would actually have time to process this information. What a better way to start of the year than to focus on the beginning of my art career?<br /><br />The 2009 smARTist motto was:<br /><h2><span style="font-size:130%;">Get Clear.<br />Make A Plan.<br />Inspire The World<br />With Your Art. </span> </h2>Get clear? That I needed to do. Make a plan? Yeah, I guess I need one of those...and Inspire the World with you Art- that sounds right up my alley!<br /><br />I was hooked. The only obstacle was the cost. The smARTist telesummit is a hefty price for a self-supporting student and mother to afford. But smARTist offered a 100% money back guarantee. I had nothing to lose and everything to gain.<br /><br />So I signed up for the smARtist Telesummit and was amazed on how much information could be crammed into these 1 hour phone call/recordings. You "attend" the conference by either calling into a special phone number during a certain time or downloading an MP3 recording and listening later. There are handouts to download and print out, and a members only discussion board where you can ask questions of Ariane (the facilitator), connect with other participates or just gush about the wonderfulness of the presentation.<br /><br />After just a few days of listening to the recordings, I learned so much about social networking that I hopped right into Facebook, Twitter and Blogging. I am pretty tech-savvy so this part was easy. Plus there were handouts to tell exactly how to do it all. Then I started on the more difficult items, such as making a plan for my art business. Since this conference is meant for people of all stages of their career, there is lots of information that I am not quite ready to implement (such as getting corporate sponsors for your work). As the school year started for me again, I was prepared to maintain and enhance my sprouting artist career while tackling my classes. If you want to know all that I accomplished this year, check out my post <a href="http://sn.im/celebrate2009">Celebrate your Accomplishments for 2009</a>.<br /><br />Long story short - <span>the <span style="font-weight: bold;">smARTist Telesummit is amazing and worth every penny - for ANY STAGE of your Art Career.</span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br />2010 smARTist Telesummit is this motto:<br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" >Focus, Facts and Fabulous Art<br />Get Recognized,<br />Exhibited,<br />and Paid what you Deserve!<br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></span></span><span style="font-size:100%;">Check out the pre-event recordings to hear what this is all about.<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>Right click and open this in a separate tab to check it out and then </span><span style="font-size:100%;">come back here to register using my affiliate link. </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />http://smartist.com/live-telesummit/pre-event/recordings/<br /><br />Now for what would drive me to send out this information now! </span><span>This is a steal!
