Bottles and Brew - August First Friday at Snarky Art

First Friday on Hall of Fame weekend is always interesting. The crowds are different, far fewer than in past years due to the concert and perhaps also the layout of the events within the district. At least the free popcorn got a few folks to venture past the obstacles on 4^th street.

Our question of the month was geared to the H of F crowd. The answers are clever for sure and do reflect a cultural interpretation this time. Reactions to the question were interesting to me. As this activity progresses I am finding that quite a few people read it in advance, think about their answers and come prepared with more than one entry. Therefore, gauging our number of respondents by the number of answers is no longer a reliable figure. A handful of people refused to participate because they either don’t drink or would not want to have inherited such a liability. I find this a rather serious approach to the activity, as if it were a real situation and not an exercise in creative thinking.  Regardless of how this “Leave Your Mark” activity is received, it is successful at engaging the public to participate in the process of art by being drawn into a space they might otherwise pass by. Below are the answers I could read (or publish)

(Sorry about the formatting issue, but it does feel rather like having had a few...)

Our Community Participation Project did have approximately 230 participants. 280 bottles were prepared in advance and we only had 30 left so now the second part of the project must be prepared for those who come in September. “Keeping Secrets” was the title and participants chose a random medicine bottle from a bag, answered one of 8 possible questions found inside, and colored 5 squares using only a limited number of colors. The question and squares were placed back in the bottle, the lid locked on and then tossed into a basket.  Your secrets are safe with me for now…..

For September FF, participants will select a bottle by choosing a number. All the bottles will have a number assigned to them at random. Upon opening, the secrets will be posted on a board (they are on stickers) and the squares will have to be matched up to each other somehow, color to color, to create a large work of art. How difficult or fun that will be depends upon what the person did who colored the squares found inside.

Actually three works of art will be made next FF, the color square project that develops by creating a consistent diagonal line grid, the secrets revealed text project and the chosen number board that will become a pattern of random dots. “Secrets Revealed” part 2, is not only about the Community Participation Project but also about new things happening in our Journey Art Gallery family.  We hope you will come by and see what awaits!

Thanks for playing!  

10 things I’ve learned on the Tow Path Trail

"Spike Shadows" Acrylic on canvas 12 x 25 2015

If you are a local, you know about our park system and its extensive network of trails that lead from the Lake to the River (as in Ohio River). My husband and I decided to dust off the old trail bikes and go a few miles (28 each time but who is counting) a couple of times this past month. As a walker, one sees the journey differently than one on two wheels so I have learned. Allow me to share this new perspective….literally and figuratively.

No this is not a Letterman List so there is no particular ranking of least to worst vision violations.

1.      The parks and trails have lots of rules posted. They remind you of them at most access points and break spots…most people don’t follow them. If one follows the rules and someone else does not, who is at fault when a near miss occurs? The “oh my gosh there is no room to pass bell dinging fool” or the “I don’t care, my conversation is more important bird flipper”?

2.      Bike shorts on men over 50. Don’t. Just don’t……at least not without some type of looser shorts over them…

3.      Sports Bras…..never could figure out what sport they are for, but jogging is not one of them. Even when you are on your own side of the trail, I have to time my pass so I don’t get knocked off my bike by those knockers. I also have to not run over my husband who has since fallen off his bike from the centrifugal force of his own whiplash.

4.      Turtles. There are monster turtles lurking in the canal. They sit on logs sunning themselves looking all passive and sleepy…I bet they eat little kids.

5.       Little kids. Teaching your kid to ride a bike for the first time on a busy trail is not a great idea. The wobbly little munchkins could run into a defensive middle-ager minding the trail rules. Defensive (and now wet) middle-ager can swim or at least stand up in the canal. Your kid is turtle food.

6.      Alligators. No, there are not any that I know of, but what a great prank! If I owned one of the canal side docks, I have a remote control alligator in the water, just waiting to start swimming along when someone is leisurely riding along enjoying the scenery. Gotta feed my turtles somehow!

7.      A sign that reads “no buggies on the trail” means you have gone really far! Wonder how many Amish have gone rouge and drag raced their buggies on the trail after dusk to prompt such a warning.

8.      The divided highway….sort of along the lines of biker shorts. This would be the baggy pants version of biker wear. Pull up those yoga pants ladies!

9.      Sasquatch. Another great prank. Way out in the remote sections of the trail…nobody around….a Sasquatch crosses your path in the distance, hesitating long enough for the image to register for an accurate reenactment of size for when Bobo comes to conduct a town meeting about the recent rash of Sasquatch sightings. Too bad bored kids in Amish country don’t have access to TV, or perhaps that is a good thing! Getting ambulance access to the trails for heart attacks or broken bones could be a bit dicey.

10.   Some people take this hobby way too seriously. Biker gangs (the pedal pushing kind) do occasionally terrorize the middle-agers moving along at a steady pace. “Passing on your left” comes the call, then a dozen or so spandex wearing, helmet clad, hunched over, speedsters zoom past…with one or two lagging behind just when you thought it was safe to ease on back over from the edge of turtle town. I ding my little handlebar bell in protest.

Win Win Win

Chalking the walk under the watchful eye of our sunflowers, which bloomed from seeds that fell out of  our bird-feeders!

Yes, that is what one needs to do to be a Triple Crown winner, which was the topic of our Question of the Month. “You own the next potential Triple Crown winner! What is your race horse’s name?” Even with the challenges we faced this past First Friday, our turnout was fantastic all things considered. 78 people left their mark on our chalkboard, and another hundred or more left their mark on our sidewalk and street.

The Community Participation Project was to color in a shape that was connected to other shapes in a necklace like affect around the perimeter of our building. The initial 52 were done within the first 90 minutes so we had to keep adding and adding and adding…. Though intended for adults as usual, this project quickly became a favorite of families with little kids so we let them have fun and be creative much to the delight of those who came over to the west coast.

Next month my project is back indoors for the first step of a two phase project so be sure to stop in! Which brings me to the point I wish to make with this essay. The concept of the trifecta….how all of us can win with what we have been doing for, and with, the community these last 7 months or so. If you are an artist, you know that we are constantly asked to “donate” for “exposure” to what seems like endless charities and parties and events. Yes, I have commented on this numerous times, others have posted Facebook links to articles that address this issue and it is a touchy one for sure. However, let me keep this logical and local by proposing the following. 

The Journey Classroom is currently offering for sale our community projects. These are framed or mounted works made by the people of Canton. These are original works of art, one of a kind, made with love and offered for sale to benefit a scholarship fund for artists and to be able to offer more projects (supplies cost money) for the community. Several non-profit organizations have recently asked for donations of artwork, 3 in the past 4 weeks alone. On the horizon are requests by even more. This is no common core math problem, a simple solution is easily achieved.  What if…..someone came in and bought one of our works of community art (win for the scholarship and future projects), then that person donated it to the organization requesting art (win for the donor who gets a full retail tax write off) and the organization can then auction it off (win for the organization) and a fourth win for the people of Canton whose work is acknowledged! If one wishes to truly and genuinely support the arts...then buy some art.

The Stick Figures would be perfect for the waiting room of a pediatrician, or a dentist, or any other medical office as they are cute, entertaining and non-offensive. The Hearts could go in a cardiologist office waiting area or a children’s center, or anyplace that needs a little more love and a lot less big box landscapes. Our Fusion project is very contemporary and totally non-objective, perfect for a law office perhaps or a trendy restaurant. The Great Square Inches of Art, same deal, add some glass over the top and you have the perfect original work and the ability to brag that your organization supports the local arts scene and the local community. I will even toss in the photo of people working on your purchase. If one is going to talk the talk about being a supporter of Canton and of the Arts…well walk the walk down 4^th street and put your money to a good cause. Don’t just give dollars to these non-profits, give a piece of your own community back to the community it will benefit.

The Jelly-wish could go in a place where people may want to make a wish….lobby of a medical facility or a specialty department? Our Pollock Pieces are available in a variety of sizes and who doesn’t love a little splatter art? Perfect for a lobby, waiting room, public hallway….your personal office…..don’t like my titles, feel free to find your own images hidden within. Have I made my point? Only one more month to shop for original community works!!  Journey Art Gallery, open 12 – 6 Tues – Sat!!

Now on to the Question of the Month:  “You own the next potential Triple Crown winner! What is your race horse’s name?”  (Sorry if I cannot read your handwriting and got it wrong, some are pretty odd!)

Open studio drawing on First Friday in the Journey Art Gallery classroom.

Every month our visitor amaze me! The question this past First Friday and the responses it generated should be a wake-up call to parents, teachers, administrators and those in government who think they know what is best to teach and test in our schools. The question was:  Name a subject, skill or topic you feel should be a mandatory requirement to graduate High School. Reading the list of answers, we seem to be failing our young people big time as far as preparing them to become adults. If these products of our educational system go on to become teachers themselves, without the skills we feel they need to know, when will the cycle be broken so it can be “fixed” with the information in place to make our world better? 

Back in the 1970’s, programs were added to our schools that fell under some type of classification whose content included practical life skills. Not woodshop or home economics type of information (still divided by gender in those days…no girls in woodshop which is where I wanted to be), but programs for students whose plans did not include continuing on to college. Programs such as these taught the stuff all of us should have learned before putting on that cap and gown (which in my case was a bright gold so I looked an oversized banana). Back in the day, our parents were still involved, but not helicopters or bulldozers by any means. They set examples of how to go to work, keep a house, maintain friendships, step in with advice but get out of the way when we had to fight our own battles, watched our grades, but not harass our teachers and so on. Somewhere along the lines, that system fell apart and a subject of some of my past postings so no repeat rantings here. (You’re welcome)

64 answers to our question were actually written onto the chalkboards, but I overheard many more say that their choice was already on the board so they did not contribute. It may be time to allow for tally marks to indicate repeats.  Before I get to the list however, a few sentences about our Community Participation Project and upcoming events related to them.

The project this month was to create a fusion of colors and shapes as determined by the numbers that turned up on three dice. (Yes, I know that “dice” is not the plural form, but the plural is awkward and not used by most people so I will suffer the grammatical wounds and use the more plebeian tense.) Each month I learn more about how people think and how much joy they get from doing something so simple but that can have a big impact. When limited to one shape and a specific number of them, decisions held greater importance. If given an unlimited number and choice of any shapes, participants were not as invested in their overall location…the restriction of these options became a personal design challenge and created a sense of belonging to a greater whole. Simple lessons were learned….some people can’t let go of the grid, some don’t want their piece touching others, colors appear to change sometimes, optical illusions are created, edges are sacred…..the power of a little piece of paper! The final product is a dazzling neon fusion unachievable by any planned process. It had to grow organically and haphazardly over a period of hours.

All of our projects (the stick figures, the jelly-wish, the heArt attack, the loom weaving (now finished to 9 x 3.5 feet off the frame), the great square inches, the fusion and many, many Pollock pieces) will be on sale starting June 27^th and continuing through mid-July, to raise money to fund more projects.  Our July project will be outside as the Snarky Studio will be filled with about 23 or so of Hoard Couture dress series. Now on to the answers!

Name a subject, skill or topic you feel should be a mandatory requirement to graduate High School.

I have tried to divide these in to relevant categories….

Traditional: how to spell (2 votes) – be able to read – handwriting 101 – primary English speaker – cosmetology – roman numerals – cursive – speaking – more math – art history/appreciation – art (2) – theater – play an instrument – learn guitar – US citizenship

Personal: meditation – self love – self control – self respect – yoga

Practical: vaccinations – drive a stick shift – boil water – know how to swim – drive safely – spend a week in the woods exploring – stand up comedy

Financial: banking – value of one cent – self-sufficiency – balance a checkbook – live within means – credit management – money management – budgeting – financial independence -  make change for a dollar (without the use of calculator or device…math done by brain power)

Social Skills: kindness to animals – how to be a good listener - how to keep quiet when necessary – both sides of an argument – sense of humor – that success takes time – time management – tolerance – grace – manners – social skills – common sense 101 – morals – patience (2) – responsibility – respect

Adulthood: parenting (2) – how to be an adult – sexuality and genders  - change a diaper – relationship skills – alternatives to abstinence – spend time with and respect elders

All good answers and observations. Thank you to all who come by to participate and play. 

Yes and No

Yes I can and no I won’t. Is it just artists that get asked to do things in a certain way? “Can you draw my picture?” Yes I can.  “How much does it cost?”  At least $100 depending upon (interrupted)… “Can you do it for $10?” No I won’t.  “But that is all I want to pay.”  Take a selfie.

“Can you paint a picture of my dog?”  Yes I can. “Can you do it really big from this picture off my phone, I want to put it in my bedroom.” Yes, I can. “How much?”  At least $200 depending upon (interrupted)… “Can you do by tomorrow for $50, I want surprise my boyfriend.” No, I won’t.  “But I need it right now.” Take a picture.

Now this happens far more often than one would think. Standing at the checkout and the bagger knows you are an artist….”if I bring in a picture of my husband, can you draw him?  I only want to pay $10 though”. I hear it from people wandering in off the street who like the pretty pictures, (and no, that dress is not a lampshade). They like the artwork but only want me to make something from a picture pulled out of a pocket that was most likely printed off of a website that posts pictures of other people’s work. “Can you paint this?” Yes, I can.  “Can you do it for under $50 bucks?” No, I won’t. And not because of the money, but because of the ethical issues of copying somebody else’s work. “But I like this one and you can paint.” Yes, I can, I am glad you do, but no, that is not right to copy somebody else’s art, just buy if from that artist. “But they want too much money.”  (sigh)

 I like it when I am standing there in a paint covered apron, brushes in hand, and get asked if I am an artist.  Oh how I wish to say “no, I am the electrician just filling in while the artist goes to the bathroom”. I bet they would believe me. 

As I get older, my brain is working faster than my mouth. Good thing too. Probably because there is a clog someplace in the process of getting thoughts organized enough to make a coherent sentence, a circumstance which I will gladly embrace for my own personal safety.  For instance, while working in the yard, covered in sweat and such, going in and out of the garage… a person asks “do you live here?”  Mouth says “yes”, brain says “no, but do you know how much crap I can steal from this house by hiding it inside these rocks and looking like every other landscaper in my skorts and logo t-shirt?” (skorts are a combo skirt and shorts deal so those of us who hate shorts can still stoop down to place rocks without flashing the nosy passersby.)

Back to the art thing though. Apply the question to a different profession. For example…my husband is an ObGyn. “Can you find out if I have (insert a VD of your choice)?”  Yes, I can.  “How long does it take to find out?”  You need to make an (interrupted)…. “Can you tell me today because I have a date tonight?” No, I can’t.  “But what if I do?”  Take precautions.

What about the plumber. “Can you unclog stuff that has been backed up for a few days?” Yes, I can. “How much does it cost?”  About $200 to walk in the door and (interrupted)…  “Can you just stop by on your way home and do it after work?” No, I won’t.  “But it is filling up the tub and then I will have to call a real plumber.”  To which the professional and hardworking plumber just might reply….Go to hell.

73rd Annual May Show at the Little Art Gallery

Fascinating Face #88 - Toronto, soft pastel image 17.5 x 23.5

Have to start with obligatory disclaimer that I have a drawing included in this year’s show, pastel portrait #88.

As with all juried shows, the overall vibe is the result of a one or two (sometimes three) people’s opinions chosen from available pieces entered. This particular show has a restriction that only one piece per category per artist may be accepted, which was introduced a few years ago. Artists are smart people and have found that entering the allowable two pieces stand a better chance of getting accepted if the pieces are categorized under two different media.  Just how much difference is getting to be a bit blurry.

Is this the best show in recent years….not in my opinion. I bet the “salon de refuse” that could be mounted would perhaps be a bit more interesting in the long run but the show on view is what we have to work with. The jurors are both heavily credentialed towards a museum background with history and curatorial experience. My impression (and I am familiar with neither of them) is one of being more cerebral than hands on creators of art. Definitely read the bios and the statements included in the program. By not explaining any further, you now have to go to the gallery and read it for yourself.

I counted 51 pieces by 47 artists which is an impressive number for the limited space although many were on the smaller side more so than in recent years. Personally, about 42 would have made a stronger presentation. There are some outstanding pieces to be seen and some wonderful examples of technique and imagery by those you may know and those who may be new to the scene.  Without a doubt however, the number of works representing a specific technique and style utilized by a dedicated following, dilute the overall quality of paintings in that genre. Not sure if I sensed “compromise” or preference on the part of the jurors but perhaps I just like more variety.

I also have a personal affinity for the “hand of the artist and their visual voice” to be present in pieces I would choose if ever asked to judge, which I won’t be. Nor should I ….anywhere north of Columbus. But if I could (and this is my forum so I get to do whatever I want within respectable and self-imposed reason) I would highlight the following pieces for your viewing pleasure…since you have to get a program anyway, you might as well look around.

Russ Hench’s The Shoodle #1 is outstanding! If that is a 1, I hope he plans on many more. This new direction is full of joy and spirit, a grand departure from his more labor intensive mixed media pieces. It practically jumps off the wall where it resides with a collection of various botanically oriented pieces. Actually that wall has several high notes. Shelia Scannelli’s Partaking of the Peony, is an almost satirical take on traditional botanicals with all those ants crawling around her well rendered colored pencil piece, also framed in such a way as to not overwhelm the work. The works of Diane Belfiglio and Jerry Zalinskas are best appreciated from a distance to see the power of light and shadow, both are artists that have mastered this fundamental compositional element.

Light of a different kind plays into the meaning of Gail Wetherell-Sack’s Beam Me Up, Scotty, tucked into the darker corner of the room so as to highlight its…ummm….light. The framing and work are as one. A good lesson for newer artists…. if the framing makes your work look better, then something is not as good as it should be inside the frame. Keep in mind that there is a difference between enhancing a piece, and elevating a piece. Consult with Christian at Cyrus if you aren’t sure, he knows his stuff and can guide you appropriately.

The two larger abstracts, Lin Reedy’s Hole and Tina Myers’ Bonsai could hold their own in the annual MassMu show, enjoyed them both, hope to see more. The connection of artist’s hand to designer’s eye can be seen in the works of Mike Uhren’s ink drawing It Hit Him Years Later and Bill Bogdan’s woodcut print The Leaf. Graphic simplicity of composition can be just as powerful as minute details….sort of a “less is more”.  Tom Migge has a well-crafted spalted maple and cherry wood vase in the smaller showcase.

Some red dots are already scattered throughout the room which is wonderful to see!  13 pieces are listed as NFS (not for sale) which seems a bit high.  Some of you fellow old timers will see familiar faces (meaning works by those you know) who continue to speak in the same tone and others who, so to speak, sing with new challenges and continued growth.  Overall, it is a good general representation of art and artists in our area. Not earth shattering or ground breaking, but it will appeal to the patrons of the library in a positive way who like to see work they can relate to. And I hope they do, so when Elizabeth decides to shift the comfort zone with some of her upcoming ideas, the audience will be ready to engage it.

Congrats to all the winners and entrants this year! Best in show to Lee Ann Novotny, and Categorical First Places to M.D. Mahoney, Dharitri Tripathy , Shelia Scannelli, John Alexander, Ted Lawson and pat Waltz.  It was a crowded opening afternoon so be sure to stop back as I did to appreciate up close and personal, the pieces that caught your eye the first time.

Splatter and Sails

Our question of the month, garnered 54 responses. Considering the number of people through our doors this past FF, that seems a bit low, but the cleverness and ingenuity of the answers were great so one cannot criticize! 

Many people came out to participate in “Rock the Pollock”, our Jackson Pollock inspired community participation project. A surprising number of people did not know who JP was, but once they saw a sample of his work….oh yeah, the lightbulbs were flashing. Everybody recognized his works of action painting. The process of action painting was our focus this month with some “rules” put in place to protect the surroundings. No flinging, flipping or throwing was allowed….translated to no golf swings, no baseball or softball pitches, no fly fishing…and so forth. Only one person actually got on any paint on themselves and it was a youth whom I allowed to participate on a fake id at age 10. He was taller than his older companion so I allowed him to have a try. Should have listened to my instincts, but all ended well with some fast soap and water work.

More than twice the number of planned canvases were filled by our 9:30 pm deadline. Will we do this project again? Ummmm…maybe? It is not the easiest to set up or clean up, but the amount of inspiration it generated was worth it. I heard people talk about doing this at a birthday party, a family reunion, church camp and even in their own schools….where I first did this project. A story that will live on forever. To save space, I won’t bore you with all the details, but a 25 foot “canvas” became an accidental slip and slid for an unsuspecting and unsupervised child in her new dress and shoes who should not have been where she was. End result, the school got a new carpet installed on the stage, the mother got a dressing down for not watching her kid (not by me, I was laughing too hard) and the big Pollock became performance art! I could probably have framed the dress and sold it in NY for lots of money.

Our canvas scrap pieces will be cut up and mounted into frames, onto stretchers and otherwise made available for sale in July at our Community Project Showcase. Pictures of the project in process can be found on my FB page. We have projects planned out through next June so be sure to stop by and bring friends. They are not as elaborate as this one (yet), but I have a lot of grass to cut this summer and my best ideas come from mindless activities…hmmmm, an odd association but it works.

Now for our Question of the Month, inspired by our winter trip to the warmer climates. So many boats, so many clever names so we decided to ask you "What would you name your ocean going luxury yacht?" Only two answers were borderline inappropriate for my audience and one was just not acceptable for publication here…but clever. I have included the two, left out the one. Don’t go screaming censorship, this is my forum and if I think it is not acceptable for publication, then get your behind down to the studio and read the original one for yourself on the chalkboard. For ease of reading, I am listing them in random order as written. I did toy with putting them in alphabetical order, but that would take more time than I have to give at the present moment. So enjoy and ships ahoy!
