New open studio class perfect for passion projects

ART LEAGUE

The LW Art League met on Sept. 12 in Clubhouse 4. The guest demonstration artist and judge was Hillary Norcliffe, an art professor at Cal State Long Beach.

Before the start of the demonstration, Carmen Leslie, LW Art League’s secretary, talked about a proposal to change the category system of the competition. Due to time constraints, a more concrete proposal will be presented at the next meeting in October.

Katie Stubblefield, a NOCE teacher who teaches art classes in LW, announced the opening of an open studio class every Tuesday evening from 5:30-7:30 p.m. (except when there is an Art League meeting). The class is designed for artists who have a “passion project” and would like to work in a class environment where their work can be critiqued.

Email Katie at kstubblefield@noce.edu for more information. To register for the class, go to the library and ask for Library Manager Taylor Green.

At the club’s monthly competition, Marilyn Jonas won Best of Show; Terese Smith won the popular vote. In the masters category, Barbara Simundza won first place; Alice Sioson, second; and Rosie Grogan, third.

In the intermediate/advanced category, Marion Higgins won first place; Allyn Constant, second; and Daniel Prosek, third. In the 3D/ multimedia/digital category, Linda Frysinger won first place; Allyn Constant, second; and David Vogel, third.

Two new members, Harlan Petersen and Sharon Kisiday, joined at the meeting. The Art League will meet Oct. 10. The next “Spotlight On The Artist” will be held Nov. 25 and feature ceramics artist and teacher Ramayana Baba.
