ANNOUNCEMENTS MESSAGE BOARD |
It's now official! When the current group of six adult
Thursday classes are over (last day Mar. 13th), I will be postponing
indefinitely all formal adult class sessions. The last youth class
will be June 7th. As I had hoped, my professional career has
progressed to the point to where I want the time and energy to produce
more original works to meet the growing demands and exhibition
invitations that are blessedly coming my way. Of course, in
the event I put together workshops or start classes up again (2009 or
later), you will all be notified.
It
is with a mixture of excitement and sadness that I cease teaching you
all after being with some of you from the beginning some seven years
ago. I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of you and have
grown as an artist and as a person in so many ways as a result of being
a part of your lives. I also have a deep and abiding admiration
for your exceptional talent, your self-discipline and focus, and for
your very unique and inspiring personalities. I hope you will all
keep in touch with me down the road of life and my door is always open
to critique your work should you wish. With fondness always, Kay
Witherspoon
For
those wishing to continue on with your art education, I recommend

golden artist's palette shingle hanging above the entryway.
(East of I-25
on E470 & south on Peoria Street just before E. Lincoln Ave. or East of I-25
on Lincoln Avenue about 1.5 miles, &
North on Peoria towards E-470 about 2 blocks). Parking is located on the street so as not to block traffic into and from
building garages.

Curriculum
Designed for the artist - beginner,
intermediate, or advanced - who wants to develop their skills in capturing subject and
mood with line, form, design, and the layers of light. Class critiques,
demonstrations, and open discussions center on conceptual themes, techniques, and
composition. Aspects of the business side of art are also covered, such as preparing
works for exhibitions, marketing, gallery selection, and so forth. Students work on
their own subjects, with individual demonstrations and handouts designed to expand visual
and cognitive understanding and skills (painting materials and techniques, color theory,
and the basic art principles of composition and design, values, contrast, texture, and
perspective). (Review the my work within this website for an idea of my own
style and the techniques I use.)
I also share with students information on: how to exhibit; framinmg
art; resources and networking lists; pros and cons of various lighting;
and the various pros and cons on being a professional and/or selling
artist with the intent of helping students avoid the mistakes I've made
and maximize their own productivity and success. |

here for the supply list as well as art supply stores and art supply internet sites.
* Keep in mind that art supplies, like musical instruments, are an
important and expensive investment. There are a multitude of art products in
existence and there are usually vital reasons why some materials are listed on the supply
list while others you may find are not. Substitutions or omissions can undermine a
student's ability to produce pleasing results or a successful outcome. Please call
or email art@kaywitherspoon.com with any
questions you may have about your supplies.
A general supply list will be made available upon enrollment via the student's email,
mailing address, or by fax. Supplies can be stored in the classroom in private
cubbies and taboret drawers. Supplies can be easily transported in a plastic
hinged-drawer tool box or tackle box available at Walmart, Target, Home Depot or most
hardware or art supply store. Portable, durable canvas bags are great for larger,
miscellaneous supplies.
* Please
Note:
Parents and students are reminded that painting materials are hazardous. Students
are encouraged to wear rubber gloves and a paint smock and to wash paint off when in
contact with their skin. Windows and doors are kept open, fans circulate the air,
and an air filtration unit is kept on. Payment of the class fee signifies that
parents and students have read this warning and accept responsibility for the risks
involved in oil painting.
