September 29 - December 08, 2008 Out of the Rut... Creating a Series: With Mary Iselin....
Time: 10am-1pm, Mondays
Town: Sharon
[More Information]
As artists, we all have dreams of special projects. These can range from illustrating a book, to painting a dozen florals, to trying a new medium. Sometime these dreams become unrealized due to inertia, fear, or because we are simply "stuck in a rut".Working in a series implies that we need more than one work of art to explore an idea or technique. In this class we will identify our individual artistic longings, formulate workable, realistic goals for a series of paintings or drawings in which these longings can be expressed, and then work toward accomplishing these goals in a supportive group environment. All levels and media are welcome - bring lunch. Members $240, non members $265.

Wilder was the antithesis to Eugene O'Neill as a chronicler of American life. Wilder affirmed life with an energetic "Yes!" The Matchmaker presents us with the crusty Horace Vandergelder, a pragmatic, wealthy merchant from Yonkers, NY, who hires Dolly Levi to find him a wife who will run his home with "order, comfort, and economy." She, ofcourse, has a plan of her own. The rebellion results in a happy ending for all.
