The bags are sure to be smile makers for the children who will receive them.<br />

I came up with my own personal art challenge to get myself back at my studio art desk. I made a New Year's commitment, um 'er resolution, to build a creative habit.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>My plan:</b> From January to December 2019, draw a sketch each week on a white craft bag for Caitlin's Smiles "bags of smiles" program. I also planned to recreate every drawing into my own personal sketchbook. Shouldn't be too daunting, right?</div>
<div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Mission Accomplished:</b> On January 10, I delivered 53 illustrated bags to Caitlin's Smiles. And, my sketchbook is full.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>The Creative Habit.</b></div>
<div>
*Whew*...It wasn't easy to keep to task. Some weeks I'd have an immediate idea and I could knock out the sketch just like that. Other weeks, six days would go by and come Saturday evening, I'd be struggling for a creative idea. My not-so hard deadline became a soft deadline and I found myself extending the creative process into Sunday, and eventually it became Monday evening. I fell behind a few weeks, then had double-duty to catch up and keep to task. In the end, my sketchbook is full and 53 artsy bags are now in the hands of Caitlin's Smiles.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>About Caitlin's Smiles.</b></div>
<div>
Caitlin's Smiles is an amazing organization based in Harrisburg, PA that fills their "bags of smiles" with arts and crafts items and delivers them to children in hospitals. The organization's service imprint is commendable, to say the least. They not only serve south central Pennsylvania, but several east coast states, as well as southern states grappling with hurricane devastation.<br />

<b>Why Did I Need This Art Challenge?</b></div>
<div>
<div>
Yes, I truly needed it. For four previous years my creativity was directed at retraining myself as a "creative aging" teaching artist and building lesson plans for "creative aging" art classes that I teach at Pennsylvania senior centers and continuing care retirement communities. My own output of art was waning. Well, actually, I was barely sketching, drawing, or painting at all. My creative well was empty, as they say. My canvases, blank.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
An artist's inspiration needs fueled by day to day things, sights and sounds that inspire, and to make time for artist dates as the great Julia Cameron of "The Artist's Way" writes. Otherwise, there is nothing experienced or internalized to spark the imagination. Small steps to break the dry spell can be daily or in my case weekly sketches. That small step begins to build an artist's creative bank and provides ideas that are ready to draw upon for future paintings.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Why Caitlin's Smiles"?</b> <a href="http://www.caitlins-smiles.org/">http://www.caitlins-smiles.org/</a></div>
<div>
1. It is an amazing organization. Pssst!...Donations for the arts and crafts items that go into the bags can be made through their website.<br />
2. Bag art for Caitlin's Smiles is a project I've had my students do during artist residencies. Yet, I had not taken the time to do any bags myself. Their enthusiasm and beautiful art served as my creative spark. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Pass The Baton.</b></div>
<div>
Any artist interested in taking on the challenge for 2020? I'd love to pass along the baton. Guidelines as far as appropriate messaging content for on the bags can be found on their website. The blank <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0748NK1DS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1&pldnSite=1&fbclid=IwAR1ecD2Cvkk8Jendjv93rgaK4Wsf5GXQ63D2xmWHIfCmiGvCFDwVVkCT1bY">white craft bags can be purchased through Amazon.com</a>.</div>

<br />
As the art-making began they joined in with pastels and paper, then talked with class participants and heard their stories of artistic experiences during the grant-funded art residencies.<br />
<br />
They also created this amazing video to promote the benefits of taking art classes at senior centers statewide:<br />

This week the artists from the Senior Adult Club in my 10-week artist residency at the Jewish Federation of Greater Harrisburg learned about the colorful and charming yet sophisticated art of Canadian artist Ted Harrison. They also learned about 1-3 month art residency opportunities at Ted's beloved cabin at Crag Lake in the Yukon.<br />
<br />
Inspired by his colorful work the class then got busy creating their own oil pastels on black paper using photo references of the Yukon as guides. The outcomes are beautiful!<br />

The artist from the Senior Adult Club participating in my 10-week artist residency at the Jewish Federation of Greater Harrisburg were inspired this week by Silvious' tea bag art. Using week-long daily creative exercises in their class sketchbooks they set to work being creative. One participant used drawings from her high school sketchbook as inspiration.<br />

The artist used the tea bags (and a few coffee filters) as their canvas. They painted on, stamped on, colored on and sketched on tea bags. They mushed them in paint and used them as the stamp on paper. And, they created a collaborative collage with them. The outcomes were steeped in creativity.<br />

Inspired by Israeli sculptor and experimental artists Yaacov Agam and in celebration of Israel's 70th anniversary, artists in my 10-week artist residency at the Jewish Federation of Greater Harrisburg created "Nine Squares". Their artful squares are a nod to Agam's kinetic artwork titled, "Nines".<br />

The colorful mural will bring vitality, color and voice to an otherwise bland, blank wall in their cafeteria nook.<br />

<b><u>Theme from Poster Art</u></b><br />
A theme of "growth and change" was selected after reviewing artwork created by residents of the home this past Spring. Butterflies, flowers and quotes were common images in that art.<br />

<br />
<b><u>The Process</u></b><br />
The girls embraced the idea. Through daily intuitive art exercises and drawing prompts the words, flowers and butterflies took shape.<br />
<br />
Using Nova Color Paints, words were painted in a pearlescent tone-on-tone turquoise against the sky. Now, as a viewer look closely, words are translucent yet shimmer brightly as light bounces off each letter. The girls voices speak.<br />
<br />
Flowers and butterflies in all shapes, sizes and color dance across the mural.<br />

To start, our class had an interesting discussion around "repeating a word until it loses its meaning"...a phenomenon called semantic satiation. See this <a href="http://nymag.com/scienceofus/2014/10/repeating-a-word-until-it-loses-meaning-a-thing.html">NY Magazine article "Repeating A Word Until It Loses Its Meaning"</a>.<br />
<br />
The group of artists were prompted by the word art of:<br />

To destroy is to create." That's what 18 participants in my 10-day artist residency at the Jewish Federation of Greater Harrisburg did this week to make a unique piece of abstract art.<br />

<br />
<br />
In big bold black letters they wrote their names on square sheets of paper. Next they destroyed that paper by cutting it into 16 small squares. From there they created a new piece of art by rearranging the pieces, gluing them in place, and coloring in the negative spaces with various colors.<br />
<br />
The full quote that inspired their new abstract creations is:<br />
<br />
"To create is to destroy. To destroy is to create. Life is about getting up out of your chair and doing something. It is about doing nothing. Making a mess. Moving your hand and your body. Leaving a mark. It is about doing. Action. Finishing. Experimenting. Trying something. Immersing. It is about absurdity. A creation. Evidence that you exist. Using materials. Destruction. It is about fun. Doing the opposite. Breaking the rules. It is about ideas. Getting dirty. Making mistakes. I'm going to ask you to make a mark and its going to be messy. Don't worry about that. That's the point." -- unknown via www.boardofwisdom.com<br />

I'm in the middle of a 10-day artist residency at the Jewish Federation of Greater Harrisburg conducting sessions on intuitive art encouraging older adults to express their inner artist. We are having a blast!<br />
<br />
Here are a videos of participants, oil pastel in hand, responding to music during the "Draw What You Hear" class.<br />

During a 5-week artist residency at the
Jewish Federation of Greater Harrisburg, I am teaching artist for a group of 18
older adults. They’ve been open to every creative endeavor put in front of them
– from drawing their breath to drumming in response to photographs and now
drawing like famed French fauvist artist, Matisse.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
For this artistic challenge, I asked participants to come to
class with a paragraph of text. The artists learned how Matisse drew
masterpieces holding a 6’ bamboo stick with charcoal stuffed into the tip.
Inspired, they set to work on canvas using their paragraph of text as subject
matter.</div>

The following article appeared in the newspaper publication of the JCC about the creative experience being brought to older artists.<br />

<i><b>Senior Update</b></i><br />
<i>By: Roberta Krieger</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>"Who would possibly believe that at our age learning something new (and to many of us, something foreign), would be so much FUN! Well, take it from me and 17 other lucky seniors, a new and exciting world has opened for us. The reason for this is our Senior Club at the JCC was fortunate to be a beneficiary of an "Artist Residency Program with a Research Component" brought to us by Jump Street Arts in Education. It was offered to us at no charge by the generosity of the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts and the Pennsylvania Department of Aging. Our teacher, Cheryl Kugler is amazing as is our very own adviser, Cheryl Yablon, who is always right there to give a hand to those who are in need. Guess the name Cheryl and the word amazing are synonymous.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The program consists of ten approximately 90 minute classes which was open to 18 seniors who were willing to make a commitment to attend at least eight of the ten lessons: the first or second being mandatory. After the first lesson I cannot think of anyone who wanted to miss even one minute, never mind one lesson. The budding artists started to blossom.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>The first four lessons (which as of this writing were all that we've completed) were like nothing that any of us imagined. We were told we would not be using any medium that required drying (watercolors or oils) as there is no place that they can be stored for the drying process. We use charcoal, pastels, both chalk and oil, pencils and crayons. I can't explain how much fun it was to schmear charcoal all over your hands without having anyone yell at you for getting "all dirty". Our lessons ranged from drawing our breath (yes, this is NOT a typo), drawing shadows, listening to different types of music from classical to pop and letting loose by drawing with the rhythm. Last be not least was creating musical stories to various pictures. This was where we really "lost" it...NON-STOP laughter. Not counting the serious type percussions, the instruments ranged from homemade noise makers to Fisher Price xylophones and in between. They say laughter is good for the heart. Well, all I can say is we are one "Heart Healthy" group!</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Our homework for our next class is to bring a paragraph of something we have written or part of a story or poem that we like. I await this class with bated breath because if my husband's "masterpiece" is an indication of what others are bringing, it will be 90 minutes of hysterics.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Doing my due diligence, I contacted the Curatorial Department of MOMA and have complied with their request to fax over a sampling of our work. They were very impressed and promised to make every effort to attend our final class on Wednesday, May 10th, after which all of our "masterpieces" will be on display. You are all invited to join them. When classes are over there will be a big void in our lives. Maybe Rock Climbing lessons can be next."</i><br />

Thanks for stopping by.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4802160351765891681.post-39075772373450011852015-10-09T10:33:00.001-04:002015-10-09T16:46:21.135-04:00Plein Air in the PoconosLast week, a small group of painters from the Susquehanna Valley Plein Air Painter's participated in an overnight "paint out" at <a href="http://www.graystonespreserve.com/">Graystone Preserve</a> in the Poconos. The preserve is located near Hickory Run State Park in eastern Pennsylvania. <br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
The incredible views were mesmerizing and so were the gorgeous colors of the changing Fall foliage. It made it difficult to pick a scene to paint plein air. However, rain quickly narrowed down a painting spot - the big porch of our rented cabin. </div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's the painting that came out of my hands onto canvas:</div>

From what I learned, t<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">he property was purchased in the early 1900's by the Trojan Powder Company to test dynamite manufactured for the military. The company no longer exists, but the heirs continue to operate the property as Graystone Preserve. </span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Graystone Preserve is a members-only organization. Lucky for us, a fellow painter is a member. She has amazing childhood memories of </span>traversing the 4,000 acre property with her grandfather, an employee of the powder company. </div>

In June, we spent a Saturday morning sketching out at Letort Spring Park in Carlisle, PA. Here's the outcome and a few "behind the scenes" photos from my sketch pad.<br />

I know. I've tried. So, when my client wanted a painting of a delphinium I knew they'd be a bit hard to find out in a garden. But, I found one and painted it. Let's take a look at the process!<br />
<br />
<b>The Finished Painting:</b><br />
The petals are delicate. The morning sun created back lighting and interesting shadows on the thin flower petals.<br />

<b>The Composition:</b><br />
Working from photos I took out in the garden, I began working on the composition in art class at the York Art Association.<br />

<b>Roughing in Colors:</b><br />
Oh, to me this is the ugly phase of painting!<br />
<br />

<br />
<b>Making an Adjustment:</b><br />
After blocking in color and beginning to work the painting, a glaring empty space existed in the center of the flower that wasn't as obvious in the sketch phase. The solution -- add an extra blossom.<br />
