Open Space Arts - Michele Frantz and Tony Muller Workshops

Saturday, November 12, 2022 Art classes at Open Space Arts at 15000 #140 Potomac Town Center, Woodbridge, VA. Keep an eye out on Prince William Art Society's website at http://princewilliamartsociety.com, this blog, or come by the gallery.

Michele Frantz's Class on Waterscapes in Pastels Workshop

Michele Frantz led a workshop on pastels for a group of adults from 12-4pm today. There is a classroom/workroom at the back of the gallery which Open Space Arts uses for many purposes - such as workshops! Here are a few pictures from the pastel class.

 

Quote from Brenda: Michelle provided a very comprehensive workshop where we learned about different possible approaches to pastels. We explored the different brands of pastels for quality and effect.

 

Michele also provided a unique piece of sanded paper especially designed for pastel use which was new to me. I took home a pastel painting finished during the workshop. It was fun pulling out my old pastels, taking a refresher and meeting new artists.

 

Tony Muller's Class on Augmented Reality in the Art World

In the meantime, in the front of the gallery, Tony Muller led a discussion on Augmented Reality in the Art World. I'll create another post about his class coming up this week. From Tony:

"We first discussed the history of AR, what it is, and what it's not. Then a quick overview of how it's being used on every day life.

Then we explored the historical use of AR in various art forms - dance, theatre, and finally static gallery pieces.

The last bit of the workshop provided 3 examples of AR-enhanced artworks using the app Artivive."

 

Look for the upcoming presentation notes from Tony this week.
