Framing Explained

Sharon Borror and Barbara Johns explain the various aspects of framing artwork at BAW's October meeting.

 

 

Matting and Framing for Everyone!

When:  Wednesday, October 5, 2011, 7:30 PM

Where:  Brunswick City Hall

Whether you are looking for information on how to prepare your artwork for exhibition, or how to mat and frame artwork for your home, this is a presentation you won’t want to miss.

Sharon Borror, President of Medina County Art League, and Barbara Johns, former President of Medina County art league will be presenting an informative round-table discussion on the ins and outs of matting and framing.

Many exhibits have strict guidelines, and knowing how to properly present your work may make the difference between being accepted into a show or not, and/or whether you receive an award.

But, even if you are not an artist, you probably have artwork in your home.  Sharon and Barbara will also discuss how to mat and frame your personal artwork to enhance your home.

 

SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE!

 OH, WHAT A NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brunswick Art Works celebrated their 6th anniversary yesterday with a fabulous, family-oriented party!  Cake was enjoyed amidst giggles and sometimes rousing laughter as caricature artist, Rob Weske, shared the story of his most interesting and unusual rise to fame.  After Rob created a couple of caricatures of guests, the entire group was encouraged to try their hand at it.  Rob forgot to tell the crowd that it wasn't really as easy as he makes it seem, which resulted in more than a few guffaws as the guests tried their hand at this very specialized art form.

Happy Birthday BAW!

Can you figure out who Sharon Borror drew?  Hint to follow...

of him.

Everything you ever wanted to know about COLOR, but were afraid to ask!

Sharon explaining color to the group

This past Wednesday evening, Sharon Borror presented an informative slide show on various aspects of color.  The psychology of color, including the emotional reactions that might be expressed and/or induced by certain colors was discussed, followed by an explanation of the color wheel and its use in deciding a color scheme for a painting.  Because Sharon prefers using a very limited palette in her own paintings, she frequently chooses to incorporate a triadic, or three-color, scheme.  Sharon visually demonstrated the creative use of color through a series of images from some of the old masters interspersed with many of her own paintings.

It's all about COLOR

Visit us on Wednesday, December 1, when Sharon Borror, President of Medina County Art League and member of Brunswick Art Works, talks about color.  She will talk about what colors work well together, and will give insights into how to use color to achieve a desired outcome.  You will leave with a greater appreciation of how color reflects mood and may affect choices we make.
