SUMMARY:Beauty in Motion: Edgar Degas' Ballet Dancers - A Zoom Presentation by Art Historian Anik Waldeck
DESCRIPTION:Beauty in Motion: Edgar Degas’s Ballet Dancers \n\n\n\nLet’s go backstage with one of the most celebrated artists of the 19th century! \n\n\n\nEdgar Degas’s beautiful ballet dancers have captured the hearts of art enthusiasts the world over and become synonymous with the Impressionist movement. One might expect Degas’s seemingly countless images of this theme to focus primarily on the lovely tutus and graceful arabesques of pretty ballerinas as they flit across the stage. Closer observation\, however\, reveals that his primary interest lay elsewhere. Instead of repeatedly depicting the glitz and glamour of a full-dress performance\, the artist became fascinated with what happened behind the scenes.  \n\n\n\nArt Historian Anik Waldeck will pull back the curtain to reveal the world of ballet in 19th-century France\, the manner in which Degas depicted its complexities and how he produced these beloved works of art.

SUMMARY:Promoting & Selling Your Artwork Online - Zoom Presentation
DESCRIPTION:Artist Jordana Heney will talk about using Instagram and Facebook\, and to a lesser extent\, TikTok\, to promote your art online. The objective of promoting yourself as an artist online is to enhance your personal brand. By enhancing your personal brand artists can expand their customer base and so enable them to reach more people and make more sales in the long run. That said\, those sales don’t necessarily need to be made online. An artist that doesn’t sell their work online could still use social media to promote themselves in order to build their customer base

SUMMARY:"Fast and Furious" Paint Night on Zoom
DESCRIPTION:And now for something completely different! You will have a maximum of 30 minutes to paint a small painting or sketch. See how fresh and painterly your creations look when you move quickly to get the essence of a painting. You will create at least three paintings in one night with time to share your results at the end of the evening. You will receive some resource photos by email prior to paint night or better yet\, choose your own. But make sure you have the photos and small supports ready to go before we start because you only have 30 minutes to paint. \n\n\n\nJoin other members on Zoom and let’s paint together.
