Meeting And Art Challenge - Feb 2019

The next meeting of the Greenville Art League is Wednesday February 20 from 3 PM to 5 PM at the W. Walworth Harrison Library in Greenville Texas. Monica Lubiani will talk about her fused glass art.

Bring a work for the art challenge. We will have a silent vote and the artist whose work gets the most votes will be "Artist Of The Month." This month's challenge is "Think Like Matisse." A description of the challenge follows.

Think like Mattise. When painting and sculpture had become a physical challenge, Mattise turned to a new type of medium. He began creating cut paper collages or decoupage. He would cut sheets of paper, pre-painted, and used them to form livelly composfitions. Try working in cardstock or construction paper. Assemble on a firm surface.
