SUMMARY:Artist Talk: Olas Caribeñas/Caribbean Waves
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Saturday\, March 18\, from 2-4 PM\, for an afternoon with the exhibiting artists of Olas Caribeñas/Caribbean Waves\, the Art Center’s interdisciplinary initiative exploring the visual art and folklife traditions of the Caribbean diaspora in New Jersey. We’ll tour the Art Center’s galleries\, hear from the artists\, and engage in a Q&A session with visitors. \nIn the Main Gallery\, we will hear from Jairo Alfonso about his exhibition Objectscapes. Alfonso is a Cuban-born artist who has been living and working in New Jersey for nearly a decade. This exhibition is a survey of artworks created in the last 10 years that are all similarly concerned with the cultural and societal meanings of everyday objects. \nIn The Mitzi and Warren Eisenberg Gallery\, we will hear from Los Herederos\, a media arts non-profit organization\, who is showcasing The Sonicycle\, a mobile audio-visual unit that engages communities in sharing stories\, music\, and cultural traditions. This interactive digital caravan is fully outfitted with a DJ turntable\, speakers\, audio players\, a projector\, and recording equipment. \nFinally\, we’ll hear from figurative painter Kevin Darmanie\, whose painting Jack & Jill is on display in the Art Center’s Stair-gazing gallery. Born in Trinidad & Tobago\, Darmanie utilizes photographs of himself and his friends to create his portraiture\, referencing elements of his own life and shared experiences to inform clean narrative works which explore complex relationships between image\, object\, gaze\, and landscape. \nThis event is free and open to the public\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Winter Break Workshops for Adults
DESCRIPTION:5615 Torch Enameling\nInstructor: Sue Sachs\nTorch enameling is a fantastic way to add vibrant colors to your copper or fine silver pieces without the need for a kiln. In this fun and direct process\, watch enamels transform from powder to colorful glass as your piece changes temperature with heat from a torch. Different techniques of torch enameling will be discussed\, as well as methods for setting finished pieces. No experience necessary.\nTuesday\, 1/3\, 10 AM–4 PM\nTuition: $115\, Materials fee: $35 \n5616 Pastel Pet Portraits\nInstructor: Amanda Ciurciu\nCalling all animal lovers! Learn the skills that it takes to capture your animal companions using an incredibly versatile medium: pastels. Following demonstrations\, you will be given an in-depth education on all the aspects of rendering a variety of animals including\, but not limited to\, how to pick colors from reference image; the importance of color theory; and how to create texture with layering. By the end of this session\, you will have all the skills it takes to create pastel masterpieces of beloved animals or even your own pet.\nWednesday\, 1/4\, 10 AM–4 PM\nTuition: $115 \n5650 NEW! Introduction to Gouache\nInstructor: Amanda Ciurciu\nLearn how to paint with a vibrant\, versatile\, water-based medium: gouache!

Terms such as hue\, value\, saturation\, and temperature will be discussed as they relate to painting. Through demonstrated step-by-step exercises we will put all of these concepts into practice as we study the most common problems artists face when choosing and mixing colors.

Painting the Colors of Winter in Watercolor\nInstructor: Mark de Mos\nCreating a successful winter scene in watercolor is an exercise in both visual observation and careful color application. The whites in a snow scene are in reality very colorful\, as the snow reflects the light source and other objects\, while also allowing for shadows of varying shades and tints. This workshop will cover the basics of creating snow scenes from your own reference photos— photos can be snow-free and the instructor will demonstrate how to add snow to the scene! An optional technique to replicate falling snow using gouache will also be covered.\nSunday\, 1/8\, 10 AM–4 PM\nTuition: $115

SUMMARY:Observing Observation: The Role of Environment in Art Making
DESCRIPTION:Observing Observation: The Role of Environment in Art Making \nWhether it is a natural environment or an urban/built environment\, the process of artists leaving their traditional studio and entering the “real” world to create has a long and ongoing history. What role does the artist play as observer and chronicler? This discussion will unpack these ideas and panelists will include both artists in the current exhibition Ripple Effect and panelists in other fields. Click here to register for this free event\, which will take place on Saturday\, October 22\, from 2-3:30 PM. \n  \nPanelists \nEileen Ferara is a multidisciplinary visual artist whose work is focused on the human relationship to the environment. Drawing inspiration from the natural world\, she uses printmaking\, painting\, paper making\, drawing\, and sculpture to create art based on observation\, research\, and imagination. \nValeri Larko is best known for her densely painted landscapes of the urban fringe\, all of which she paints on location. She is attracted to the decaying and abandoned buildings\, aging infrastructure\, industrial sites\, and urban waterways that populated the outskirts of America’s urban centers and the stories these places tell about contemporary life and culture. Larko started painting urban landscapes on site when she moved to Jersey City shortly after finishing art school. In 2004 she moved to New York\, where she continues to explore and paint the ordinary and overlooked environs of the outer boroughs of New York City. A large painting can take the artist 2-3 months to complete on site. Due to the changing light\, Larko works on one painting in the morning and a second one in the afternoon. In winter she paints small canvases from the relative comfort of her car. Larko has been painting in this manner for over three decades. \nDuane Lutsko has an MFA in Painting from Brooklyn College and a BA in Fine Arts from UCLA. Lutsko has received numerous grants and fellowships including: a Fulbright Fellowship to Italy\, a Residency Grant at the Vermont Studio Center\, Maryland State Arts Council Individual Artist Grant\, and a Prince Georges County Council Individual Artists Grant. Lutsko has taught with the Open Studies Department of the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore\, MD\, since 2001. Duane was Art Department Chair for 11 years during his 25 years teaching in Baltimore County Public Schools. Duane currently lives in northern New Jersey with his wife Amy. He is a certified FAA pilot and is dedicated to the agency of Gestalt phenomena\, psychology\, neuroscience\, and all things Italian.
