SUMMARY:TCAN Show - "Do You See What I See?"
DESCRIPTION:Come join us in celebration of abstract art! The Wellesley Society Of Artists presents “Do You See What I See?” at The Center for Arts Natick February 1-28. The show features artwork of over 25 member artists. Even if you are not going to a TCAN event\, you can see the show during box office hours. \nArtist Mark Rothko once described the relationship between the observer and the painting as “a consummated experience between the picture and the viewer. Nothing should stand in the way between the painting and the viewer.” With that in mind\, participants submitted artwork that does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of a visual reality\, but instead uses shapes\, colors\, forms\, and marks to achieve effect and meaning. This definition may include the realm of surrealism that seeks to challenge accepted norms. In showcasing abstract art\, artists have sought to express insights and explore ideas without the anchor of representational symbols.

SUMMARY:"Best in Show:  How to Photograph Your Artwork for Winning Results" with photographer Lynne Damianos

Capturing artwork may seem simple\, but it’s hard to do well. Good photography provides professional results\, but there is more to creating a good photograph than simply “pointing and shooting”. This talk with photographer Lynn Damianos will discuss how to deal with issues such as uneven lighting\, incorrect colors\, glares\, and shadows can which can distort the view of the art work and diminish its beauty and clarity. Learn the tricks of the trade to create accurate photographs of your 2-dimensional artwork from a seasoned professional who regularly works with artists to create images used for gallery portfolios\, giclée print reproduction\, and museum dioramas. A live demonstration and clear\, step-by-step instructions will guide you toward success in making glare\, poor color\, and key-stoned images a thing of the past.\n\nAward-winning photographer Lynne Damianos earned her BS in Photography from Rochester Institute of Technology. She specializes in photography of artwork\, people for business\, and architecture (from the ground or via drone aerial). Her fine art images have been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions throughout New England.

SUMMARY:"Curating Vermeer" with Tracy Rubin
DESCRIPTION:The Wellesley Society of Artists in partnership with the Wellesley Free Library (WFL)  present “Curating Vermeer” a talk with MFA gallery instructor Tracy Rubin on December 5 at 7:00pm in the Wakelin Room. The exhibition\, “Vermeer” which opened at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam\, The Netherlands in spring 2023 was more than a box office success.  It was sold out within days\, if not hours\, and people scrambled to somehow gain access.   \nThe exhibition lived up to all the hype because it was expertly curated.  It was an absolute delight to the eye and food for the soul.  The hanging of paintings\, the wall text\, the wall color palette all related artfully to the works and enhanced the experience. Tracy will “deconstruct” how the exhibition was conceived and presented\, paying attention to what anyone who is hanging a show should consider.  Tracy  said “Hanging Vermeer” seemed like a better title for this talk\, but alas\, sounded rather threatening.  Hence\, “Curating Vermeer”.  \nAbout Tracy Rubin \nTracy Rubin has been a gallery instructor at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston since 1986.  Over that time she has led tours for both student and adult groups\, as well as given talks as a guest lecturer.  Her MFA training was provided by museum curators and college professors from such institutions as Boston University\, Wellesley College\, Mt. Holyoke College\, and Tufts University. Guides are only allowed to give tours in a museum collection upon completion of a year-long course in that subject area. It takes seven years to complete all the courses.  She also helped with research for the MFA exhibition and companion catalog\, “The Art That is Life”\, that was open in 1987.  Tracy has presented at various conferences in the United States such as the National Docent Symposium and the American Academy of Religion. She holds a B.A. from Smith College and a Master of Theological Studies from Harvard Divinity School with a concentration in the intersection of art and religion.

SUMMARY:Training Eyes\, Minds and Hearts: Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) and the Art of Healthcare
DESCRIPTION:This is the second “Art and Wellness” program presented by the Wellesley Society of Artists in partnership with the Wellesley Free Library and supported in part by a grant from the Wellesley Cultural Council. The arts are increasingly playing an integral role in both health and healthcare. Integrating the arts into our lives and communities can enrich cultural life and support well being.  Join us to learn more on Wednesday\, October 2nd 7:00-8:30pm at the Wellesley Free Library. This program is free and open to the public. \nTraining Eyes\, Minds and Hearts: Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) and the Art of Healthcare \nwith Corinne Zimermann\nThere is a growing call for better integration of the arts and humanities with medicine.  According to the American Association of Medical Colleges\, the arts and humanities have a “unique and unrealized role in preparing and equipping physicians for 21st-century challenges.” And for over a decade\, the number of partnerships between art museums and healthcare organizations\, including medical schools\, hospitals\, and clinics–has been growing. In this interactive presentation\, museum educator Corinne Zimmermann will share how the Visual Thinking Strategies (VTS) and museum-based practices are being used in medical schools and healthcare organizations to hone observation and critical thinking skills\, improve team dynamics\, cultivate empathy\, and support well-being.  \nCorinne is the co-author of Activating the Art Museum: Designing Experiences for the Health Professions (Rowman & Littlefield). She co-founded the Harvard Macy Art Museum-based Health Professions Education Fellowship\, a pioneering professional development program that introduces innovative ways to use the arts to advance health professions educational goals\, skills and attitudes. She is a co-founder of VTS@Work and is currently co-teaching Training Our Eyes\, Minds\, and Hearts: VTS for Health Care Professionals through Harvard Medical School’s Continuing Education Program.

SUMMARY:Paul Alie Workshop: Adding Acrylic Ink to Watercolor for Textural Effects

This is a workshop for experienced watercolor artists. \nAs a watercolor artist\, Paul has always enjoyed creating textures to subjects that lend themselves to textural experimentation such as rocks\, rusted objects\, baskets and other items.  Paul is a member of the Newton Art Association\, the Newton Watercolor Society and a Signature Member of the New England Watercolor Society.  He teaches watercolor painting at the New Art Center in Newtonville and accepts private students. \nRegistration will be handled by the Needham Recreation Center at needhamprograms.com.  Participants will be provided with a supply list for this workshop at the time of registration.  Those individuals who prefer to register in person may do so at the Needham Recreation Offices located 175 Rosemary Street\, Needham \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nMore about Paul Alie… \nAs a watercolor artist Paul has always enjoyed creating textures and looks for subjects that lend themselves to textural experimentation such as rocks\, baskets rusted objects\, even feathers and wings. By adding small amounts of acrylic ink to wet watercolor washes he found that he could bring textural effects to a different level than with watercolor alone. Paul is a member of the Newton Art Association\, the Newton Watercolor Society and a Signature Member of the New England Watercolor Society. He teaches watercolor painting at the New Art Center in Newtonville MA and privately. You can see more of his work and process at www.aliestudio.com. A brief video demo of this technique can be found on his website under “videos”.
