'ROUGH RIDER' RIDES AGAIN!

“President Theodore Roosevelt” is coming to town! Nationally-known performer Joe Wiegand will appear for a single evening, May 15th at 7:30 p.m. at the Hales Center at Southwestern Oregon Community College. All proceeds benefit the Coos Historical & Maritime Museum.

Wiegand performed at the White House for “TR”’s 150th birthday. His thoroughly convincing roadshow amazingly recreates the "Rough Rider" President in appearance, mannerisms and flamboyant speaking style.

Roosevelt was the first president to face many of our modern problems, including the balance of corporate power, organized labor and individual rights. This unforgettable event will stimulate your brain and your imagination, and trigger lively discussions.

The “Roosevelt Show” is supported by a generous grant from Wells Fargo and the Oregon Historical Society. Admission is $10 at the door, and $3 for children 12 and under; $8 in advance and for members of the Coos County Historical Society. For more information, please call the Coos Historical & Maritime Museum at 541-756-6320, or visit www.cooshistory.org.

Workshop

CAM / Expressions West Opening weekend



Hi Expressions West Artists;


A change of plans and a reminder that the opening of Expressions West 2013 is on May 31, 2013.

Juror, John Hewitt was going to conduct a review and discussion of this year’s Expressions West but now he is doing a plein air workshop on June 1, 2, & 3, 2013 10:00 am to 4:00 pm

John Hewitt Workshop

Dates: Saturday, Sunday, & Monday - June 1, 2, & 3, 2013

Time: 10:00 am to 4:00 pm

HIGH SCHOOL AND ADULT STUDENTS

This will be a plein air workshop, weather permitting. Free yourself from the tyranny of detail. Learn to design a work of art, not just a reproduction of a scene, photographs do that better. Use the elements and principles of design developed over hundreds of years by the great masters to assist you in painting your own image. Learn to express YOUR personal view of the world around you, not just a copy of what you see. Learn to discover what speaks to you and why. What are you trying to say in your work? Unfortunately, first you must master the technique and in watercolor that is no small task. It can be learned in a few easy steps that can be practiced until they are second nature. We will cover these steps in the first hour. We will paint a new scene each day with commentary on what we are trying to say and how we say it. Subjects covered will be water, sand, driftwood, rocks, buildings, clouds, grasses, etc. A technique for each will be explored and an explanation for choice of paint, paper and brushes will be given. You will be guided toward your own preference of style, not the teacher’s style.

“I have been a student of the greatest watercolorists of the 20th century. My goal is to pass on this legacy to the 21st century. Come join us and have a great time becoming a successful plein air artist. You will receive encouragement, not criticism.”

12 STUDENTS MAX. CLASS FEE: $195 MEMBERS; $220 NON-MEMBERS
