Specialists News: Fine Art at PNA!
10/12/2017
It is wonderful how far the artists at PNA have gone in their development of fine art concepts, skills and techniques! We have a school filled with artists who are practicing their critical thinking skills as they assess their progress on each work they create. Here we see a student thinking about his next step in drawing, and his Lola (Grandmother) sitting for the First Grade Art Class.
The 6th Graders have drawn self-portraits and worked with line, shape, value, texture and color theory. This year we work toward more complex renderings in our work, as we develop in-depth our skills and techniques. We are looking forward to painting on canvas, and completing our design work this fall. Much awaits ahead! The Beginners and EK classes have been working through color theory: hue, value, intensity, complementary colors, analogous colors, wam and cool colors, with more to come. When studying art we bring in other disciplines: music, art, literature, science, math. The Fine Art Program strives to present a comprehensive foundation in art. Students learn to be critical thinkers and working artists. Brenda Jaeger, Artist-Teacher at PNA, recently had work in an exhibition at the new Parsons Galleries, which opened October 7th & 8th during the Artwalk Ventura 2017. Randy Parsons, owner, a luthier of custom guitars, will have the hard opening in December. He is also one of three luthiers selected out of LA area to be showcased at NAMM, January, in Anaheim, CA. Brenda will also have her work at the Dayton Center for the Visual Arts Annual Holiday Show, opening November 15 and running for five weeks in Dayton, Ohio. Brenda has developed two lines of notecards with her images: Alaskan Landscapes, and Guitars I. Another line, Guitars II, is in progress and will be out by December. Locally, at the Great Harvest Bread Company, Brenda has her image Fallen Cross with Jim Hanlen's poem Permafrost as one of the broadsides presented by Cirque Magazine. It is a project to commemorate locations in Alaska. It is up for the month of October. Music NotesComments are closed.
