Congratulations on your legacy project show @rheaarnot! Your new way to “collage” with photos, flowers, and objects resulted in an elegant series of shadow boxes! Thank you to all who came to the opening, gallery hours and artist talk! #exchange #localartists #legacyproject #creativeprocess
TODAY! ARTIST TALK –3:30pm @socialstudioart 737 & 739 Deepdene Road in Roland Park.
Join Rhea Arnot Jenkner on Sunday, December 3rd for an ARTIST TALK and see her recent series CURATED FOR CLARITY, A Legacy Project. Learn about her passions, her process, and how she worked with Social Studio to create the 10 shadow boxes on view in the gallery.
Rhea Arnot Jenkner presents a series of shadow box assemblages that are the elegant culmination of all her life’s work as a designer, gardener, photographer, and artist. Her process is about putting things in the right place. She has a sense of balance. She sees the space between things. Her work is about choosing and featuring – arranging visual elements to affect a synergy, to tell a story. In art and the art of storytelling, the more personal the story, the more universal the message. Her message is about connection. “The process of making this series combines all the things I have been doing in the past: photography, flower arranging, gardening, interiors, with all the things I’ve learned from my experiences and from other people. I put all the things I know how to do together. It’s all become one. What I present, represents me. It’s all about me. I can only be me. That’s the message: You can only do you.”
STUDIO STORY is an hour long afterschool packed with the pleasure of a read aloud and a related art activity. Many books come from the studio collection like this book, “The Pigeon Lady and the Snagged Bag” by Sam Hack. The kids looked at the shape and collage papers that Cheryl Cochran uses in her pigeon collages and made their own. 🐦
What a day to bake… I mean MAKE gingerbread houses with gingerbread babies! 🍭
DRAWING 1 is underway with Zach Thornton - a winter session class that meets through February for students who can’t get enough art in their school day and adults who want to learn what they missed or revisit the FUNdamentals! The first focus was exploring line quality and working from memory, life and blind contour!
Warm-up today doubles as gift tag or ornament!
