The Studio Time Workshop is designed to further develop each students' skills with individual hands-on help and critique from Elaine. We will continue to begin each painting using timed audio commands and canvas rotation, but everyone will go at their own pace with the option of starting a new project each week. This class will include referring to the ten abstract design compositions, assistance in color mixing, improvement in executing painting techniques, and the use of new brushes and tools. A wider range of collage materials will be discussed with an emphasis on editing your own work using the editing questions. Students who have completed Level 1 are eligible for this workshop.

The 70th Week:
A Visual Music Opera Based on the Book of Daniel
February 24th, 7:30pm
Free entrance limited to the number of seats available
The Book of Daniel is probably one of the most mysterious books in the Bible. The description of the events and prophecies include murder, treason, orgies, and torture. But it has also several very interesting and enigmatic prophecies that can be related to the present times. Social instability, global war, mass extermination, and many other events can possibly be interpreted in the prophetic writings of this young boy.
This visual music opera includes several events in the life of this prophet and his companions, as well as three prophecies that still may not have been fulfilled.
The 70th week is one of these prophecies, and it relates to a state of constant war, sacrilege and destruction, that will finally lead to a miraculous transformation of the world in a new space of peace and justice. This prophecy is then re-stated in the Book of Revelation, in the Bible.
As the description of the piece (a visual music opera) suggests, the operatic action is re-interpreted in a screen, using computer-generated images and sounds, as well as recorded vocal lines and dance movements.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced painter, this exclusive process of using timed audio commands and canvas rotation to begin a painting will increase your spontaneity and creativity. This class includes the teaching and demonstration of thirty different acrylic and mixed media painting techniques.
Instruction in the use of high flow and fluid acrylics will be taught to maximize your ability to soften and blend acrylic paint. You will learn how to create and enlarge your own black and white photos for use as collage, along with techniques to integrate that collage into your painting. Two projects in the three day workshop will be started, with individual hands on help and critique from Elaine to bring them to completion.
