2010- Workshop
COLOR CONFIDENCE: Jane Jones
March 15—18, 2010
9:30 am—4:30 pm
$450 Members—$550 Non-Members
Jane Jones says,” I have spent a lot of time researching and working in my studio to figure a 21st century way to paint with oils like the Old Masters. I am so excited about what I have learned and what effects can be achieved, and I want to share this information.
You will cover the basics of color theory, but, most of the time will be spent mixing color, making and finishing small studies. By using a limited palette you can develop a foundation for thinking about color mixing. Color theory will come alive as color expression. You will learn how colors affect each other so you can compose with color freely and meaningfully. Creativity is sometimes chaotic, but color mixing doesn’t have to be. This is a workshop for all painting media. The Instructor will provide daily demos and other presentations, along with generous individual instruction and critiques.
To register call: The Artist’s League of the Sandhills, 129 Exchange Street, Aberdeen, NC 28315, Betty McDaniel, 910-944-3979 or e-mail at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Parcel Post: Creative exchanges between older adults in North Carolina
Parcel Post, a participatory community art project facilitated by artist Tessa Windt in collaboration with CCA-NC, aims to connect elders of all ability levels, stages of aging and dementia, living in Guilford and neighboring counties with their counterparts living in the eastern region of the state. By participating in this pilot project, older adults will learn new ways of communicating visually through regular hands-on creative activity while facility staff and volunteers will learn new ways of activating elders’ vital imaginations. This pilot project will use the postal system as a medium of creative exchange to bridge isolation, discover common ground, and extend the creativity of older adults at 6 sites around the state. It is estimated that 8 to 10 elders at each site will participate in weekly sessions for approximately 12 weeks, resulting in 40 to 60 works of art. Groups of older adults at each site will be invited to participate in collaborations by making and mailing parcel-artworks in-progress to participants at a partner site. The final stage of the project will be preparing the collective works for exhibition in May during Create & Celebrate Elder Arts 2010 and finalizing the traveling exhibit schedule. The Parcel Post exhibition will then travel to venues in participating regions.
