As always the North Penn Arts Alliance members take a break from their monthly meetings in June and return again in September. During that time, many of us go on Art Journeys with our sketchbooks, canvasses, paints, pencils, cameras, or whatever medium we can fit into a day pack. We will sketch, draw or paint scenes in our travels, faces of people along the way or just doodle and make notes for future reference. Some of these paintings or drawings will be completed on the spot and others will be brought back to the studio and refined or used on a larger foundation.
The question is did you take an art journey this summer? Most of us do and don’t realize it. Today when we travel, many of us have a camera with us all of the time. It is your cell phone. Although this author uses a small point & click digital camera, we are all creating a small piece of art. Whether it is a shot of a lovely landscape you stopped to admire, or a photo at the family reunion, you have created a piece of art for yourself and to share with others. You may download your photographs to a computer and enhance them through any one of the several photo enhancing software packages on the market today. You may even use them as reference to make a drawing or painting.
Well this season when the North Penn Arts Alliance meets on September 5, 2012, artists and lovers of art will share what art journeys they took this summer. In addition we will also have a monoprint workshop. A monoprint is a one of a kind print. There can be similar prints but no two are alike. Come and learn about this fun printing method and enjoy the many journeys that were traveled over the summer in art.
We invite all to join us for an interesting evening of Art.
