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.

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.

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.  URL:https://wellesleysocietyofartists.org/event/curating-vermeer-with-tracy-rubin/ LOCATION:Wellesley Free Library\, 530 Washington Street\, Wellesley\, MA\, 02482\, United States CATEGORIES:Open to the Public,WSA Organization Event ORGANIZER;CN="WSA Organizer":MAILTO:wsaartists@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20241123T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20241123T153000 DTSTAMP:20260604T232640 CREATED:20240707T115310Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240930T223855Z UID:11304-1732368600-1732375800@wellesleysocietyofartists.org SUMMARY:DEMO with Artist Hillary Osborn - "Changing Your Scale: Re-Vision in Landscape Painting" DESCRIPTION:Summer Bog 11×14\n \n \n \n \n \n Early Spring Homestead 14×11\n \n \n \n \n \n Twilight on Mill Pond 24×30\n \n \n\n\nJoin us for the WSA Annual Library Show awards reception and artist demo with Hillary Osborn on Saturday\, November 23\, 2024\, 1:30-3:30pm at the Wellesley Free Library in the Wakelin Room.

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.  URL:https://wellesleysocietyofartists.org/event/training-eyes-minds-and-hearts-visual-thinking-strategies-vts-and-the-art-of-healthcare/ LOCATION:Wellesley Free Library\, 530 Washington Street\, Wellesley\, MA\, 02482\, United States CATEGORIES:Community Event,Open to the Public,WSA Organization Event ORGANIZER;CN="WSA Organizer":MAILTO:wsaartists@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20240912T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20240912T160000 DTSTAMP:20260604T232640 CREATED:20240720T134911Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240720T134911Z UID:11312-1726146000-1726156800@wellesleysocietyofartists.org SUMMARY:Paul Alie Workshop: Adding Acrylic Ink to Watercolor for Textural Effects DESCRIPTION:The Wellesley Society of Artists and the Needham Recreation Department are pleased to offer a workshop taught by Paul Alie\, a renown watercolor artist and teacher on Thursday\, September 12th from 1:00 to 4:00 pm at the Rosemary Recreation Complex\, 178 Rosemary Street\, Needham.  The title of the workshop is “Adding Acrylic Ink to Watercolor for Textural Effects.”  The cost of the workshop is $30.  The fee does not cover supplies\, which each student must purchase prior to the workshop.
