Aloma Bowl

Posted on by Thor

Towards the end of my six week Urban Sketching course at Crealde School of Art I like to bring my students to Aloma Bowl (2530 Aloma Ave, Winter Park, FL 32792) only 2 blocks from the campus. On Sundays Bowling leagues are competing and most of the lanes fill with talented bowlers who are serious about their game. My hope of course is that my students will feel just as serious about their sketch game. There are bars made out of the bowling ball holders at the end of the lanes and those high top bars make a great perch for the sketchers to work from.

I dash off a sketch as a demo to show students how I time the various stages of my sketch to finish in the several hours allotted. These bowling sketches are not as finished as my usual work since I also visit each artist multiple times giving advise and tips. The end of the bowling lanes where the pis are lined up offers a perfect horizon line which is something I talk extensively about when discussing perspective and composition.

Students are also encouraged to just do a sheet of studies of peoples gestures so that they loosen up and are not worried about the final composition at fist. Prior to the trip to the bowling alley we did a series of quick gesture drawings in the classroom. By goal is to loosen up the students enough so that they have something on the page from head to toe in the first 30 seconds and use the remaining time to add the “Icing” or detail that makes each sketch unique to the person being sketched.

The most challenging pose if of course the final “release” post as the bowler sends the ball down the lane. Everyone had their own stance as they release the ball and the pose is gone in an instant. The great thing is that they get up every few minutes and repeat the movement making it possible to attack the drawing multiple times and considering each angle and curve individually. This takes patience and perseverance and the realization and acceptance that no drawing is perfect.

    Donut Central & Fuelpresso

    Posted on by Thor

    I am always on the hunt for fun places to bring my Crealde School of Art students on our urban sketching outings. We sketched a car show in the parking lot outside Donut Central and Fuelpresso (495 N Semoran Blvd Unit 1, Winter Park, FL 32792) and the owner invited us to sketch inside, so the following week we stopped inside for some donuts and sketching. I ordered some caffeine and a round shaped sugar bomb and got to work as my students sketched. I kept my sketch simple, knowing I would be going to each student to offer suggestion on composition, line value, and color. The sugar rush kept my lines flowing quickly.

    Staff and locals seemed to congregate together at the central table and I was quite taken by the giant teddy bear in the corner of the room. Much of the purpose of the course is to get students comfortable with the idea of sketching in public. Venues we go to are friendly and supportive of the arts. This place is a real gem and my students created some stunning sketches. My hope is that they will continue to sketch each day and share their work with the world.

    My next Urban Sketching, Tips and Techniques class starts Sunday, October 27, 2019 and runs for 6 consecutive weeks on each Sunday from 9:30an to 12:30pm. The cost is $275 for 6 classes.

    We learn to sketch from subject to the environment. Classroom sessions
    focus on sketching clothed models and progress towards sketching
    the model and classroom environment. Students learn how to incorporate
    storytelling into sketches in the location sessions. These trips to
    local venues will challenge you to use your sketchbook the way a
    photojournalist uses a camera. The six-week goal is to produce finished
    sketches using pencil, pen, and watercolor within two hours. See the online course description and sign up if you are interested.

    The Heavy

    Posted on by Thor

    Now that I am instructing an Urban Sketching Class at Crealde School of Art, (600 St Andrews Blvd, Winter Park, FL 32792) I am always looking for inspiring places to sketch around Winter Park. My students advised me that The Heavy (1152 Harmon Ave, Winter Park, FL 32789) might be a fun  place to sketch. They were correct. The Heavy located in the old Lombardi’s warehouse is a fantastic coffee shop that also sells gorgeous plants and furnishings. The loading docks have been converted into luminous plant filled oasis’s.


    My students scattered about and sketched the unique setting. Several children were playing on a couch which was caught by one of my students. One member of the staff was clearly an artist herself and loved that we were capturing the ambiance with our sketchbooks. If you check their calendar online you will see weekend Home Barista workshops and an open flower bar. It seems you can learn how to make you own home just as much of an oasis.


    The Heavy seems such a strange name for a place that exudes a light and calming vibe. For much of the time while I worked on this sketch a man was getting an education in how to care for the house plant he was buying. Of course most of  my time is spent giving students ideas on composition and structure. I want to be sure that everyone gets some rough sketches from me. At the beginning of the next class I also give them all the sketches I did for each student since a note give to one student might be helpful for another. I love introducing artists to the life affirming habit of sketching daily.

    Escaping the confines of the artist studio

    Posted on by Thor

    On Sundays I teach an Urban Sketching class at Crealde School of Art (600 Saint Andrews Blvd, Winter Park, FL 32792). I have some very talented students in this class and my goal is to just loosen them up so that they can capture a scene quickly and then focus on a few details to help sell the story behind the sketch. The temperatures have finally dropped to a reasonable degree so that we can sketch outside sometimes without baking while trying to finish the sketch.

    One student showed me an absolutely gorgeous pencil rendering of some shells. It was photo real and highly detailed. The trouble with sketching on location is that a sketch must be done in the time allowed. I tend to judge when a sketch is complete based on how much by butt hurts. Perhaps that isn’t a great measure of good art but it is practical.

    So many of my lessons are about how to put multiple  people into a sketch. I usually dash off a quick sketch like this to demonstrate the principle while also circulating around and doing individualized sketched that show how “the bones” of a composition might be strengthened. By the end of the course I hope that each student will learn how to manage their time so that a watercolor sketch is completed in the time we have. My tips and techniques are mostly about how to speed up the process and focus only on the details that tell a story.

    Each of my students are unsatisfied with what they can capture n a sketch right now and I have to point out that that feeling never goes away if you really want to produce great art. As Michelangelo said, “The
    greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and
    falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our
    mark.”

    Panera and Urban Sketching

    Posted on by Thor

    On Sundays for the next 6 weeks I am teaching an Urban Sketching class at Crealde School of Art. One of the first venues we explore with or sketchbooks is Panera Bread (2516 Aloma Ave, Winter Park, FL.) Each class begins with about an hour of instruction in the classroom along with some sketching exercises to apply the new principle taught. Then we head out to sketch on location. Paneras on a Sunday morning starts off rather slow and by the time the lunch hour approaches the place becomes packed.

    This allows for a relaxed first hour to sketch the interior setting without worrying about the human element. Then as people file in we sketch people at the tables that were established in pencil. I teach the students to pay attention to how much food was ordered and how full peoples glasses are, to get a sense of how long the person might be at the table to be sketched. People come and go while the sketch is in progress and the goal is to make it seem like a moment in time had been captured. Catching fellow sketchers in the sketch is an advantage because they are on the same time table, lingering rather than rushing to finish eating and get out.

    I don’t always take the time to do a sketch myself since I circulate and give each student notes that might help them with the composition or gestures that can be caught. I  have a very talented crew of students for the next six weeks and I am excited to share my thoughts on how to capture life in a sketch. One of my students showed me a fordable devise with magnets that can be used to hod a palette and water jar. It is a smart design and I might incorporate something similar into my work flow. By teaching I often find that I learn things  as well.

    Project Description

    The
    Orange County Public Art Review Board seeks an artist or artist team(s)
    to develop artwork for the new Back to Nature (BTN) Wildlife Refuge
    Center located at Eagles Roost, an Orange County Green PLACE property
    managed by the Environmental Protection Division (EPD). The Green PLACE
    program is an Orange County public land acquisition and land management
    program. This project includes five (5) new buildings that will replace
    existing portables. The values of nature, history, community and
    nonurban lifestyle should inform the art.

    Background

    Orange
    County, Florida is a rapidly growing metropolitan area of more than one
    million residents that contains the city of Orlando and a dozen other
    municipalities. Back To Nature (BTN) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) public
    wildlife rehabilitation facility serving the Central Florida Region.
    Since its incorporation in June 1989, BTN has been rescuing, raising,
    rehabilitating and releasing injured or orphaned Florida-native species
    and educating Orange County visitors about respecting and preserving the
    environment. The organization hosts an education center, where citizens
    can view and learn about wildlife.

    Site

    Back To Nature is
    located at 10525 Clapp Simms Duda Road on 20 acres of the 232 acres at
    Eagles Roost conservation land. This project will add a new Education
    Center that will provide a space for community meetings. A new Visitor
    Center also will be constructed.

    Building and Site

    Numerous
    possible locations are available for placing or integrating art. These
    are the primary spaces with possibilities for art installation or
    integration.

    · An interior wall (Visitor’s Center)

    · Exterior walls (Visitor’s Center and Education Center)

    · Front porch of the Education Center and Visitor Center

    · Entry sign

    · (Common Areas) Walkway

    · Approach to the site along the driveway 

    Grounds layout, floor plans and elevations are included in the “View Site” feature.

    Budget

    $31,500 has been approved for artwork.

    Artwork

    The
    Public Artist Selection Panel seeks creative solutions for possible
    locations mentioned above or other locations suggested by the artist.
    The artwork should be permanent and durable with little maintenance
    needed in the location to which it will be sited. 

    Artwork should
    reflect the mission of the Back to Nature facility that serves as a
    rehabilitation center for injured native animals and an educational
    center for children and adults to learn about nature with help from the
    resident animal ambassadors (animals unable to be returned to the wild).
    Many people with impairments find empathy and connection with animals
    living with impairment.

    Eligibility

    This opportunity is
    open to professional artists working in any media. Student artists may
    apply, if they can secure an experienced public artist to serve as a
    mentor to oversee their work.

    Selection Process

    A
    selection panel consisting of the project manager, arts professionals
    and BTN staff will review artist qualifications and images of past work.
    Several artists will be selected to provide proposals and will be paid a
    stipend of $500 each for their site-specific proposal. Final artist(s)
    selection will take place after review of the proposals. The director of
    Arts & Cultural Affairs serves as the nonvoting chair of the
    Selection Panel. 

    The Public Artist Selection Panel and Orange
    County reserve the right to reject any or all applications, proposals,
    applicants or projects, and to modify or terminate the application
    process or the selection process for any reason and without prior
    notice.

    Selection Criteria

    Artists will be evaluated on
    artistic excellence, as evidenced by submitted materials, professional
    experience and compatibility with the architectural design, park
    environment and values of the center.

    Submittal Requirements

    ·
    Orange County Arts & Cultural Affairs uses the CaFÉ online
    service for its public art selection process. There is no charge for
    artists to register with CaFÉ or submit an application.

    · Experience with public art projects with a similar budget is not required but helpful.

    · Professional resume (teams must submit resumes for each member).

    · Letter of interest, outlining interest in the project and a preliminary statement of approach.
