Blank Page Artist Second Visit to GBSS

On Friday, April 23rd, the Blank Page Artist visited our studio for the second year in a row. They are a group of young artist from Harry Spence Elementary, who won field trip to our Studio. These youngsters were winners of an art contest through the school, and their reward was to visit and do workshops at our studio.

With 24 students we split up into 3 groups. 1 group working on monoprints with Jenn, group 2 did still life drawings with Matt, and the 3rd group splatter painted outside with Erich. After we completed each session we did a group critique that allowed us to discuss the work we produced that afternoon. Every student got to take home the still life drawing, while the paintings and mono prints stayed at the studio to dry and then delivered to the students this week.

It was a fun a crazy afternoon, with great success in all categories!

Critique Night

Green Bay Street Studio Critique Night!
Friday, April 23, 2010, 7 p.m. - 10 p.m.

Our next semi-monthly-ish critique night is coming up next Friday! It's inter-university and inter-disciplinary. Our goal is to get people talking about art with new people, and in new ways, that they wouldn't have had the chance to before. To have teachers/professors talking about their own art with students and working artists talking with budding artists. Critiques are the vitamin of the artist, and we're trying to expand the discourse of art in La Crosse and make us all better at what we do.

All media and disciplines are welcome, so come for a laid back evening of discussion and learning, and feel free to bring a snack or beverage to share (in addition to art). Going forward, critiques will be happening quarterly, to make sure that everyone has lots of new art to share and crit.

We hope you can make it and please feel free to pass the word on. Thanks! GBSS
