Meeting February 2020

NOMINATING COMMITTEE

Per our Constitution a three person nominating committee is to be elected at the February meeting.
If you would like to volunteer for the committee, please let President Allen Weekley or one of our other officers know.

Elections for the positions of President and Secretary will be conducted in the April Meeting, so members please attend the February and April meetings if at all possible, to ensure that we have a quorum present for the nominating committee election and the vote on the new League officers.

MEETING LOCATION

The Greenville Art League will meet Wednesday February 19 from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the W. Walworth Harrison library, 1 Lou Finney Land, Greenville, Texas.

ART DEMO

Our art demonstration for the February meeting will be by Patsy Seward, who will demonstrate painting an acrylic landscape of Caddo Lake.

ART CHALLENGE

Members and visitors are welcome to bring an art piece for the challenge.

In November we learned in a demonstration that drawing and value are two of the most common problems in art. This month, we will tackle drawing and see what we could learn to improve our drawings skills.
The challenge is . . .
1. Draw something you do on the weekends that makes you happy.
2. Use a single color. It can be black, white, or any color of the spectrum, but drawn with only a single color.

Meeting January 2020

A message from the Greenville Art League Treasurer Angela Mattingly

"I'm so excited about the monthly art league meeting on Wednesday! I get to share with you my business knowledge on how to setup a business, sales tax liabilities for artists, and income tax responsibilities. Not pleasant topics for most, I know.

My goal is to help you sort out what we should be doing as professional artists and how to get it done. Will also have some tax saving tips that could help to save you money."

Also our Art Challenge will be the category Red and Green, as described in the graphic below. Please try this challenge and bring your artwork for exhibit during the meeting.

The meeting is at the W. Walworth Harrison Library, 1 Lou Finney Lane, Greenville TX 75401, from 3 PM to 5 PM. 

Charlie Bullock Demo

Thanks to Charile Bullock for coming up from Athens Texas to give a great demonstration, making an oil portrait of Native American Thomas White.

Artist Of The Month

Angela Mattingly is "Artist Of The Month," winning the vote for the Art Challenge in the "Cut and Shuffle" category.

January 2019 Meeting

The next meeting of the art league will feature a demonstration by artist Charlie Bullock, who will paint an oil portrait of Native American Thomas White. You may remember the article about Charlie Bullock that was in the Greenville Herald Banner.The article told about a large wall mural he painted in Dallas. Charlie is a versatile artist who is accomplished in many art forms, using diverse media to express his creative vision. His insights about observing a face of great character and translating it into a portrait should be of value to us all.

The theme for this month's art challenge is "Cut And Shuffle." All attendees are encouraged to bring artwork created as described below. A vote of everyone present determines the favorite, and the winner is designated “Artist Of The Month.”   #greenvilleartleague

Cut and Shuffle

This challenge is intended to get you looking at your artwork in a new way.
Work quickly with an adventurous spirit.
Create 2 NEW pieces on paper or other surface that is easy to cut or disassemble. Cut the 2 works into multiple parts, simply cut in even strips or into shapes and strips of varying sizes. Now reassemble 1 NEW piece using the different parts of the 2 works .
You may want to secure to a permanent surface, or adhere to each other without substructure.
Try to contrast the 2 pieces: realistic/abstract, warm/cool, etc.

The meeting is on January 16 2019 from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the W. Walworth Harrison Library in Greenville Texas.
