Drawing and the Art of Seeing
|
Print

Rachel Sawan White, Art and Design Faculty of Orchard House School will teach how to draw things as they are, and not how you think they ought to be. Participants work through a series of exercises in contours, negative space, composition, sighting, perspective, and texture while learning how to more closely align hand and eye. Different drawing materials, techniques, and methods are investigated. This workshop works well for beginners while offering technical enrichment for the more experienced draftsman. Appropriate for middle school students through adults. This program has been organized by the VMFA Office of Statewide Partnerships and is funded, in part, by the Jean Stafford Camp Memorial Fund. Please call to register.

Spotlight Art Exhibition
|
Print
|
| |
Beginning March 1st, Melchers' "Madonna of the Rappahannock", loaned by the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, will be the feature of a "spotlight" exhibition in his former workspace at the Gari Melchers Home and Studio in Falmouth. Annual spotlight exhibitions from outside collections have become a tradition at Gari Melchers' Home & Studio, giving local patrons a rare opportunity to view significant examples from Melchers' body of work. "Madonna of the Rappahannock", painted in 1923, was chosen because of its ties to the Fredericksburg area. The models are Eva Fritter and her infant ward, neighbors of the artist, who pose before the banks of the Rappahannock River. The painting will be on display through Memorial Day.
Time: Thurs-Tues, 10am-5pm
Admission: $10/adult; $5/child (ages 6-18)
