SUMMARY:Creative Book Club - “Fierce Poise: Helen Frankenthaler and 1950s New York” by Alexander Nemerov
DESCRIPTION:Book: “Fierce Poise: Helen Frankenthaler and 1950s New York” by Alexander Nemerov\nFacilitator: Rusty Lynn\nMeeting Date: Saturday\, November 18 from 10am-12pm\n(Drop-in\, set a reminder in Eventbrite) \nJoin us on Saturday\, November 18 from 10am-12pm to discuss “Fierce Poise: Helen Frankenthaler and 1950s New York” by Alexander Nemerov. \nThe book is an in depth look at the life and loves of Helen Frankenthaler\, who took the New York art scene by storm when she began to pour turpentine thinned paint onto her large canvas laid out on the floor of her studio on October 26\,1952. The painting she made that day\, “Mountains and Sea\,” became the hallmark of her new\, radical style of painting. An approach that was to become known as Color Field Painting. (You can see that painting at the National Gallery here in Washington\, DC.) Helen had returned to NYC after graduating from Bennington in May 1950 with a desire to become a famous artist in the soon-to-be-center of the world’s art scene. The book’s primary focus is on what happened to Helen in the New York art scene in the 1950s. \nThe Creative Book Club meets on select Saturday mornings to discuss readings by a variety of authors. The club is free and open to all who are interested in keeping their creative muse flowing and connecting with other creative people. Future book selections will be announced on this website and in the Weekly eNews email in advance. \nIf you have questions\, please contact our book club leader Rusty Lynn at rustylynn@earthlink.net. \nFace masks are recommended inside the gallery. \n.

SUMMARY:Playing with Resin Workshop (Register by 11/6)
DESCRIPTION:Instructor: Tracy Wilkerson\nDate/Time: Monday\, November 6 from 6-9pm\nCost: $40 Del Ray Artisans member / $50 Non-member; plus a $10 Supply Fee\nClass size: 6-10 participants\n(Register in advance; Walk-ins accepted if space permits) \nLearn the ins and outs of prepping for and mixing resin\, and how to use it as an adhesive\, a covering\, or the main medium. There’s lots of creative time during this 3-hour workshop… No need to rush\, which is one of the first lessons in using resin! All supplies are provided\, but feel free to bring personal embellishments for your piece(s). \nThis workshop does not get into using dyes with resin or building big molds to create one-of-a-kind resined tables (as seen on YouTube)\, but this workshop will provide you with a good understanding of how resin works so you can be bold enough to take the next steps in your creative interests. \nAlthough the class is listed for 3 hours\, you can leave once you have finished your creations. Some students finish very quickly while others take the whole 3 hours to create – there is plenty of time for each person to enjoy the creative process while not feeling rushed. You’ll leave your finished masterpiece(s) to set at the gallery at the end of the workshop\, and pick them up during gallery hours later in the week. \nThe workshop is designed for adults. Children ages 16-17 may participate with parental permission. Children ages 12-15 may participate only with a co-participating adult guardian (guardian must contact instructor in advance). \nRegister Now \n\nView other upcoming workshops\, information about the facility and policies on the Upcoming Workshops page.

SUMMARY:“Little Pine’s Halloween” Reading and Meet the Author: Nina Tisara
DESCRIPTION:Come hear the author herself! Meet mosaic artist/photographer and Alexandria legend Nina Tisara on Saturday\, October 21 from 5 to 7:30pm at Del Ray Artisans gallery. She will give a special reading of her story\, Little Pine’s Halloween\, at 6pm. \nTisara wrote the story for her children when they were young. It tells of a young pine tree who plans a Halloween party for his neighbor trees\, but worries that his pine needles won’t turn pretty colors like theirs. \nTisara recently unearthed a typed version of the story and shared it with her children. Her youngest\, Lynn\, suggested she turn it into a book. And she did! \nThe front and back covers\, designed by Sharmila Karamchandani and Steven Halperson\, show mosaics Tisara recently made to illustrate the story. The mosaics\, which show Little Pine and Mother Pine surrounded by colorful trees\, both received Honorable Mention recognition in Art League exhibitions. \nChildren (and adults) are encouraged to wear costumes. Del Ray Artisans gallery is at 2704 Mount Vernon Avenue in Alexandria. Meet the author 5-7:30pm\, reading at 6pm. \nFace masks are recommended inside the gallery.

SUMMARY:Life Drawing Session - Gesture and Short Pose
DESCRIPTION:Drop-in and practice life drawing on one select Tuesday evening each month. Bring your supplies and join us at the gallery to draw or paint our nude model. \nTraditional drawing media (such as pencils\, pens\, and charcoal) are welcome; and pastels\, watercolor and ink are permissible. Please do not bring acrylics or oil paints. We don’t supply easels – only plenty of chairs – but you are welcome to bring your own easel if you want to use one. All skill levels are welcome. \nThe first part of this session will be focused on gesture poses (dynamic 1-5 minute poses) to loosen up and participate in a fun\, fast-paced drawing experience. The second hour will be a few short poses for more detailed drawings. \nFee for each session is $8 for Del Ray Artisans members and $10 for non-members. Register now or pay at the gallery before the session. If you have any questions\, please contact Erica Hughes at Programs@DelRayArtisans.org. \nFace masks are recommended inside the gallery. \nRegister Now  |  View Upcoming Sessions \n\nArtwork credit: “To The Beat” by Katherine Rand
