Abstract Painting Workshop
With Whitney Ferre’

Saturday, May 9th 11 to 3p
Optional Gloss Tuesday, May 12th 6-7p
At University School of Nashville
$125 includes paints/brushes, you bring a canvas.
Great Mother's Day Gift!!!
In this class Whitney leads you step by step through the layered, textured, “mixed media” approach to acrylic painting. On Friday night you layer fabric, papers and collage items onto your canvas with acrylic paint. Next, we create an abstract, organic design to compliment the free-flowing nature of this painting technique. Saturday we paint in more color, add gold/silver leaf, more collage/paper items and more color! The last step is the “drizzle” step. There will also be a demonstration Saturday afternoon of the gloss technique, using an epoxy gloss. You can come back Tuesday night to gloss your painting with Whitney or choose to do that DIY style at your own home. E-mail Whitney at creativelyfit@aol.com to register.

Gallery Talk @ Frist: "I've . . . shed my skin / This is the new stuff": March 21, 2009
Gallery Talk: "I've . . . shed my skin / This is the new stuff"
Saturday, March 21, 11:00 a.m.
Included with gallery admission, Members FREE
Dr. Dana Malone Kennedy, assistant professor of English at Watkins College of Art, Design and Film will present a gallery talk in the Paint Made Flesh exhibition titled, “I've . . . shed my skin / This is the new stuff” (from Peter Gabriel's song “Sledgehammer”). Her focus will be on the use of the body in the poetry of Anne Sexton, who also speaks of shedding skin as an approach to the divine. However, Sexton and feminist theorists have more to say about the body, and Dr. Kennedy will give feedback on paintings toward that end, including Susan Rothenberg’s Orange Break, Daniel Richter’s Duisen, Cecily Brown’s Figures in a Landscape, and Jack Levine’s 35 Minutes from Times Square.
