These exercises familiarized our faculty with web presentations\, making The Studio School [online] possible. \n  \n  \n \n  \nJAN NAPOLITAN \nForming clay on a potter’s wheel is fascinating\, but this is only the beginning of a long process.  The piece generally needs to be refined\, and then the fun begins.  What to do with the surface?  Hopefully\, the artist has a vision as the piece is being formed or the form itself speaks to them.  Handles? Carving?  Added clay?  Added colors? Or nothing\, and just left to dry as-is before the first firing (bisque).  Then more decisions are needed.  What kind of firing?  High fire?  Raku\, sodium\, saggar\, low fire as alternatives?  Read more HERE. \n  \n \n  \nJAMES WISNOWSKI \nIn this instructional video the viewer is given an over-the-shoulder vantage point to see all steps taken to create a painting. Working from a photo reference\, a pencil sketch shows the important elements of shape and value when planning your classic composition. Also seen is basic color mixing on the palette\, and all brushwork needed to complete the painting.\n\nFor over 40 years\, artist James Wisnowski taught painting which reflects both his spiritual\, and artistic inspiration found in the quiet beauty and serenity of nature. Slowly disappearing landscapes are captured and documented in this ever-changing environment for future generations. He shares the rediscovered beauty that may be lost or forgotten in everyday subjects.\nSEE MORE . \n  \n  \n \n  \nJEFF STELLGES \nSee this step-by-step instruction to make a Saggar Kiln Insert or\, How to fire Saggar work without messing up your regular or raku gas kiln . \n  \n \nFRANCIS MASTRANGELO \nWatch Francis Mastrangelo in his studio as he talks about the power of being an artist. Read more . \n  \n \nSOLMAZ SHAMS \nWool painting is a relatively new technique used in Europe and Central Asia\, using layers of wool and enhancing it with various colored wool fibers. This form of painting does not use any paint nor is there a need for a brush. Solmaz Shams has offered wool-painting classes at PVAC. She has also prepared a video for beginner or intermediate-level learners in which she demonstrates the process of using wool fibers to create paintings using a technique called “Needle Felting.” To inspire viewers to make their own art pieces\, the video is a step-by-step demonstration of experimenting with wool fibers of various colors\, laying out on a sheet or base and needle-felt the fibers to create a painting. \n  \n \nROBIN BOTT \nMandala Art / Ages 6 and Up \nMandala art has been created for thousands of years by people from all around the world. The word Mandala comes from Sanskrit\, an ancient Indian language. Mandala means “circle.” The circle is seen as a magical form\, without beginning or end. \nThe materials needed for this project include coffee filters\, markers\, and water in a spray bottle. \nStep 1: Fold coffee filter in eighths. \nStep 2: Spray with and saturate coffee filter with water on both sides. \nStep 3: Draw a design with markers\, flip over and trace the same design on the other side. \nStep 4: Open and reveal!  \n \nROBIN BOTT  \nPastel Sunset Seascapes/ Ages 5 and up \nSeascapes depict views of the sea. Seascapes became popular between 1790 and 1800\, but works of art depicting the sea stretch back to antiquity.  \nThe materials needed for this project include paper and chalk pastels. \nStep 1 Draw horizon line \nStep 2 Draw the sun\, sky\, and blend \nStep 3 Create the water \nStudents will learn about line\, shape\, color\, and blending. \n  \n \nROBIN BOTT (Tie-Dye) \nRobin comes from a family of artists and her creativity has been fostered by her parents since she was a child. Following this path\, she has taught children and adults in local schools and art institutions including Palos Verdes Art Center. Robin has over 18 years of teaching experience. In this video\, she demonstrates a fun and historic art form that even young children will enjoy. \n  \n \nVAL SIMON \nOver the years\, I have experimented with many materials used in construction as well as several artist mediums sold in art supply stores. \nCombining all my experiences and my multi-talents\, the enjoyment of experimenting in itself and diving into the unknown has been the greatest teacher of all\, as you get out of your own way and become free. \n  \n \nCAROLYN LALIBERTE \nCarolyn LaLiberte\, feeling the overload of communication and chaos of our contemporary world\, struggles to find a place of spiritual clarity. LaLiberte explores thoughts and feelings through her imagination\, asking questions that she knows cannot be answered. In her installation\, Travelers Bound for Future Lives\, she has created an imaginary world of floating ceramic boats. The 102 boats loom above\, hanging from the ceiling in a mass of repetition.  \n  \n \nROY KUNISAKI \nThe pieces are made on a pottery wheel and combined with hand sculpting to add multiple clay parts. Depending on my idea\, I choose to either throw the main body or hand sculpt. All the smaller elements are mostly made on the wheel achieving machine-like parts using straight edges instead of my hands to achieve a clean-edge look. By using these tools and techniques\, I’m able to make my ideas come to life through a form of ceramics that emphasizes assembly. \n  \n \nDAEL PATTON \nThese four pieces represent my understanding and feelings about painting in the Abstract Expressionist style. The result is my interpretation and application of some of the philosophies of that period. The main concept is that the basic art elements\, color\, line\, texture\, design are “the subject” of the painting rather than a recognizable object such as a landscape\, still life or figure\, etc. \n  \n \nDEBBIE GIESE\nArt reflects who we are\, what we see or hear\, what we experience and feel. My art also allows the viewer to peek a little bit into my soul. These four paintings are my most recent works of art and reflect my experience painting during the Pandemic.  The COVID-19 virus hitchhiked via planes to the USA and jolted the world with unexpected changes. Everything came to a halting pause except for “the essentials.” Brick and mortar schools and businesses were closed\, meetings and events were either canceled or postponed indefinitely.  When a “State of Emergency” was declared on March 13 and the stay at home orders were given\, I realized I needed to quickly adjust to a new way of thinking and living to get through this pandemic with minimal negative effects. I was determined to keep a positive attitude. \n  \n \nADRIAN SANDSTROM\n“I find great joy in knowing that my work is used. Whether that is with a mug that someone uses to start their day\, a table full of plates that a meal is enjoyed with\, or simply a piece on a shelf that is admired. While the goal is functionality I also strive to make that form as graceful and carefully decorated as possible.” \n  \n \nFRANCIS MASTRANGELO #1\nWatch Francis Mastrangelo in his studio as he explains why it’s fantastic to be an artist\, and what he does when he’s tired of painting stars.

WOW! – Huang worked very closely with Wong to bring this unique beautifying project to our neighboring community. September 2021 celebrates 6 years of POW! WOW! Long Beach. www.powwowlongbeach.com \nLeading up to this Canvass event\, Wong had been installing POW! WOW! The First Decade: From Hawai’I to the World at the Bishop Museum in Honolulu; on display now until September 19\, 2021www.bishopmuseum.org/powwow/ \nJasper Wong is an artist\, illustrator\, and curator. As an artist\, he has exhibited worldwide\, in places such as Japan\, California\, France\, London\, Mexico\, New York\, Hong Kong\, Chicago\, and Australia and he has been selected on multiple occasions by Archive magazine as one of the 200 Best Illustrators worldwide. \nHe is the founder of a gallery in Hong Kong called ABOVE SECOND\, and also the co-founder alongside Jeffrey Gress of the creative community center LANA LANE STUDIOS\, as well as the streetwear brand\, BIG BAD WOLF\, with his wife\, Amy Wong. \nJulia Huang is known to our area as CEO of the multiple award-winning interTrend\, a design and advertising agency based in Long Beach promoting art and cultural shifts in marketing. \n__________________________________________________ \n\n\nIn case you missed the live event\, a recording of the Zoom presentation\, PVAC Artists Canvass presents Carlos Cuervo\, is available online  HERE.\n\n\nThis presentation of the artist’s photography was made possible in cooperation with Photographic & Digital Artists (PADA) with special thanks to Judy Herman who moderated the discussion on March 20\, 2021.\n\n\nCuervo shows works from his portfolio and discusses his motivation and technique in capturing expansive landscapes that will haunt and intrigue the viewer. A new member of the PVAC community of artists\, Cuervo’s work is featured online in our 90th Year Anniversary Exhibition\, PVAC90: Past\, Present & Future.\n\n\n“I am a 40-year-old Spaniard with a deep love for nature. I have always been very interested in photography and things really took off in 2015 during a backpacking trip to Norway. That lit an intense desire for exploration and a real interest in landscape photography. I really enjoy the whole process of visualizing the photo; the planning\, hiking\, and the feeling of accomplishment with the final photograph.” – Carlos Cuervo\n\n____________________________________________________\n\n\nBelow are archives of CALL FOR VIDEO\, an initiative of PVAC during 2020.\n\n\n\n\n\nSKIN IN THE GAME: ARTISTS DISCUSSIONS\, moderated by guest curator Brent Holmes. \nPVAC is proud to present its first ever-continuing discussion with artists online. This opening pre-recorded broadcast sets the pace for surveying the hearts and minds of artists included in SKIN IN THE GAME. With sincere gratitude to its Curator\, Brent Holmes\, PVAC is fortunate and proud to present his series as a tool for engaging in communication on sensitive topics\, while also providing a unique insight into the studio workings of a diverse and talented group of artists from across the country.\nThese talks have been edited down into 30-45 minute segments for viewing. Consecutive discussions to be posted weekly. Read more HERE.\nWARNING: These videos contains explicit language and may not be appropriate for all viewers.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLiz Cantine\, as a local artist\, author and instructor\, has used her multifaceted talents to create A Brush of Giftedness. Writing multiple poems about famous artists\, not only has she included illustrations by Heidi Dong\, a talented artist and student of hers with autism\, Cantine has also choreographed dances for her students to accompany each one. Read . \n\n\n\nBorn in Germany and studying sculpture at Northern Illinois University\, Sandra Leonard is quite aware of such historically critical art as it has mobilized her own; Wandering Bird revisits revolutionary thought that took place exactly 100 years ago. Aligned with Dada (anti-art) and Surrealism\, from 1919 until 1932\, Bauhaus was an epicenter for reinventing perception. From it\, Oskar Schlemmer’s Triadische Ballet made its debut in Stuttgart in 1922. Derivative of the multi-disciplinary root popularized in a Bauhaus living art practice\, Leonard creates Wandering Bird expressly for the purpose of celebrating Schlemmer and the long since defunct German school\, yet still much relevant school of thought\, made evident in her larger body of work. “I first create the costumes or wearable sculpture pushing the abstraction of the figure. When collaborating with performers to interpret the costumes\, a reciprocal dynamic is set up as the costumes impede motion therefore\, dictating and or influencing movement. The resulting performances bring the sculpture to life transforming the wearer into kinetic sculpture.” Leonard’s work was included in PVAC’s “Wearable Expressions: 7th International Juried Exhibition” in 2017. \n\n\n\n\nIn times of uncertainty\, local artists continue to encourage viewers of their works to engage in making the world around them a better place. PVAC has received submissions from three such exemplary local artists taking initiative to ensure that their art is imbued with the power to make positive change.  Impactful Gestures\, \n\n  \n \nSubtly\, Ben Mabry’s “Memory Window” pans back and forth from a timidly caged viewpoint\, merging imagery of blossoming fields of yellow and industrialized waterscapes. A parading knight appears frequently adding another somewhat lighthearted level of superimposed imagery. This is a clear reference to the Arthurian table’s search for The Holy Grail as juxtaposed with words by T. S. Eliot\, in reference to the legend.  Window on The Wasteland\, \n\n \nMy love of art revolves around my struggles and successes to create on canvas and paper the mysteries of life. I am a contemporary artist. My styles are free and strong. My goals are to have the viewer enjoy my work yet intrigued by my subject matter. I love to make a blank piece of paper or canvas come alive. I want intrigue\, mystery and soul to be a part of my art. Jody Wiggins in the Studio\, \n\n\nPVAC has been seeking art to share with our membership and immediately found valuable content in this video provided by Francis Mastrangelo. He welcomes us to his working studio for an intimate glimpse into his mind as an accomplished artist of many disciplines. Handheld and DIY\, Francis’ video is exactly the kind of take-charge moment we were looking for – it is intimately raw with the video’s strengths focusing on an almost one-on-one advice session between artist and viewer. All of this\, and more\, awaits us inside his sketchbook of magic!   The Magic Sketchbook\, \n\n\n\n \n\nFauna Nocturna\, began when I discovered that coyotes had dismantled and played with a ceramics installation I’d created in my yard. Since then\, I’ve employed hunting trap cameras to document wildlife as they investigate areas of my yard that I’ve manipulated for artistic purposes. These stills and videos give evidence to a generally unseen\, specific animal experience which humans are not normally privileged\, and reveal the human desire to interact\, and connect with\, wild animals.   Deb Diehl: Fauna Nocturna\, \n  \n \nPatricia Keller is a local Palos Verdes artist who submitted her innocent video capturing sandpipers on the beach during sunset. Running in unison against the setting sun\, each bird’s silhouette peppers the light-reflecting waves.  The image reminded me of another coastline I had seen across the globe in another context altogether. It was also the responsive way in which Keller moved her lens across the nearby landscape that nudged my memory of another video. The sandpipers running along the beach in Keller’s video offer a relaxing way in which to engage with the world; turning our attention to mundane natural beauty may\, in fact\, elevate the subject to something ethereal or even spiritual.  Sandpipers and Stonemilker\, \n  \n  \n  URL:https://pvartcenter.org/upcoming_events/call-for-video/ CATEGORIES:Only Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://pvartcenter.org/2024/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Jasper-Wong-SQ.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210621 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210724 DTSTAMP:20210607T163019Z CREATED:20210607T161108Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210607T163019Z UID:10000156-1624233600-1627084799@pvartcenter.org SUMMARY:Summer Art Camp DESCRIPTION:Explore and learn at our Virtual Summer Art Camp for students ages 5-13!

Now in California\, she does the same thing with her 3 grandsons\, basket in hand\, gathering gently leaves from trees that become the content and design of her books. Linda began eco-printing on paper\, to accompany her handmade book designs (artist book limited edition Otis College\, Los Angeles\, CA 2001\, published in Lark 500 Handmade Books\, second edition\, 8 collagraph plates). \nWith a Master’s degree in painting\, and multitudes of printing classes and residencies\, Linda loves to make impressions in each environment that she visits. She states\, “Whether in the forest or at the ocean\, or in the high desert\, there are always multitudes of textures\, colors\, and natural objects waiting to be immortalized.” \nWanting to expand her explorations\, Linda naturally shifted to making botanical prints on silk and wool\, cotton fibers\, leather and ceramics\, working as a mad scientist in her quiet studio in the foothills of the Angeles National Forest. Linda is clearly an artist in each world she inhabits.

The single largest extension of democratic voting rights in our nation’s history\, it was hard fought over a period of decades through militant action\, organized protests at the nation’s capital and suffrage marches across the country. This coincided with the larger\, global women’s movement and the emergence of The New Woman\, independent from her male counterparts. The term Suffragette was first used in 1906 as a derogatory term by a British journalist\, but it was embraced by women in the suffrage movement around the world determined to SuffraGETte the Vote. \n100 years later\, we women are still marching for our rights. On January 21\, 2017\, women took to the streets to influence legislation on human rights\, sending the message that women’s rights are human rights and advocating women make their voices heard by exercising their right to vote. The Women’s March became the largest single-day\, peaceful protest in American history. Palos Verdes Art Center’s exhibition\, Suffragette\, was developed in partnership with the Palos Verdes Library District’s Women’s Suffrage Centennial Celebration. It connects the historical suffrage movement with the Women’s March LA by putting a face on these modern day Suffragettes and highlighting the variety of women of color\, ethnicity\, age and socio-economic status in attendance at the Women’s March LA during the years 2017-2020. \nMonica Orozco (b. 1970) is a Los Angeles-based photographer whose visual practice focuses on exploring multifaceted human experiences through the lens of the contemporary moment. Her photography is informed by the perspective of her multicultural roots. She was moved to document the Women’s March LA in a photojournalistic style\, because\, as the artist states\, \nI felt that it was my duty as a visual storyteller to capture the March as my way of helping the cause. If I could showcase all the emotions during this event\, and inspire others to unite\, that was my goal. The power in numbers is energizing; you feel like One and believe that you can change the course of history. \nGail Phinney\, Curator URL:https://pvartcenter.org/upcoming_events/suffragette-opening-reception/ CATEGORIES:Calendar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://pvartcenter.org/2024/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/1-18-2020WMLA_613-2-SQUARE.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200314T090000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20200314T110000 DTSTAMP:20200309T163613Z CREATED:20200226T225545Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200309T163613Z UID:10000154-1584176400-1584183600@pvartcenter.org SUMMARY:Photography Walk with PVAC and Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy DESCRIPTION:Join Dennis Keeley\, a participant in Habitat California: Flora  & Fauna\, when he leads a photography group on a nature walk March 14\, 9 – 11 am at the Linden H.
