1. Annual Critique Night / Critique d'art annuelle
le français suit
Light snacks will be provided.
On Tuesday June 25, 2019, member artists are invited to bring one piece of unframed, unsigned work or a digital photo uploaded on a computer stick or disc in a jpeg format to the Annual Critique Night. We will have the computer and projector. We only have 70 minutes so it will be on first come basis.
Feeling shy….. come along and see what others are up to and join the fun anyway! See you Tuesday!
Donata Szafian will help members with suggestions on the work they present.
Donata Szafian is a classically-trained figurative artist. Her formal art education is rooted in Hungary. She obtained her BFA in Sculpture, followed by a BA in Industrial Design and MA in Jewellery Design.
Having her background in both fine art and design gives Donata a practical and problem solving mind-frame. This shows in her positive and constructive approach to critiquing artwork.
Her constant drive to learn and take her artwork to higher standards took her to New York to study under the guidance of Nelson Shanks, and recently to Florence to study with Michael John Angel.
7:00 pm - meet and greet
7:30 pm - announcements with critique to follow. Room 340, 255 Centrum Blvd.
******************
Une légére collation sera servit.
Le mardi 25 juin 2019, les artistes membres sont invités à apporter une oeuvre sans cadre et non signé ou une photo numérique téléchargée sur un bâton mémoire ou un disque en format JPEG. Nous aurons un ordinateur et un projecteur sur place. Puisque nous avons seulement 70 minutes, premier arrive, premier servit.
Vous êtes timides..... pour le plaisir, joignez vous à nous pour voir ce que les autres font! On se voit mardi!
Donata Szafian commenteras les oeuvres des membres qui présenteront une oeuvre.
Donata Szafian est une artiste figurative. Elle a étudiée en Hongrie d’ou elle a obtenue son baccalauréat en beaux-arts en sculpture, suivie d’un baccalauréat en design industriel et d’une maîtrise en joaillerie.
Avoir son expérience dans les beaux-arts et le design donne à Donata un esprit pratique et de résolution de problems qui lui sont utile dans son approche positive et constructive de critiquer les œuvres d’art.
Son intérêt constant pour apprendre et rendre son œuvre d’art à des normes plus élevées l’emmena à New York pour étudier sous la direction de Nelson Shanks, et récemment à Florence pour étudier avec Michael John Angel.
