CALL for ENTRIES: Drawing from Perception

Posted on by R.L. Gibson

Learn more about the Drawing from Perception exhibit from the Stein Galleries at Wright State University! FEED me

Restaurant wait times make me testy, and if I’m “hangry”, you’d better hope the kitchen isn’t in the weeds.  I have a handful of standard distraction techniques, but my favorite is the restaurant with paper cover tables to draw on.  It never fails that my artistic genius strikes when the only materials on hand are roll paper & crayons.  Let’s call them oil pastels, shall we?  This next Call wants your best drawing.  Show ’em what you’ve got…

Check out this Call for Entries from Wright State University Art Department (Dayton, OH) for Drawing from Perception VIII, a national juried drawing exhibition at the Stein Galleries. This is another great opportunity to add an academic show to your resume…

Artist of the Day: Sima Schloss

transparencies (mixed media) by Sima Schloss

“Perhaps we never know someone until we see them
in love, despair or in danger.” —Sima Schloss

•

At times I feel my life is laid bare before the world.  Because I don’t have faith in the existence of privacy and an excessive desire to control my surroundings, I have beaten everyone to the punch. I have revealed almost everything to be known about me.  Those few crumbs I have kept for myself are dark corners best left unexamined by most. But if Sima Schloss, today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, is right about love, despair & danger, I have nowhere to hide.  I am oddly relieved.  What are you not trying to hide?

My Spanish classes are coming along nicely although I am struggling with objective pronouns.  My food vocabulary expands easily and exponentially.  My favorite is pasteles.  Cognates are easier to remember, but some words just stick in the brain & roll off the tongue.  Pasteles = cakes.  This next Call is for pastels, not pasteles, but segues are hard.  It’s a stretch, I know.  If pastel is your media, this is a great show…

One of my favorite holidays looms near — Halloween.  There are lots of treats I only make on holidays, and meringue cookies are always a Halloween request.  Years ago I made meringue “ghost” cookies, which are just meringue cookies with eyes of blueberries, chocolate chips or currants; everyone was hooked.  Now they’re expected, of course. Light, crispy, ghostly sweetness.  Traditions are funny sometimes.  This next Call is looking for your ghosts. Your depiction doesn’t have to be literal, and the media is wide open.  Don’t worry, I am not sending meringues…

Is memory a vital vehicle of expression for you?  Do you inadvertently honor or flee from something in your past through your work? Artists are encouraged to enter work that is any interpretation of the call.” —verumultimumartgallery.com

ARTIST of the DAY: Kristen Brown

Dissonant Frequencies (chalk pastel) by Kristen Brown

“I am interested in the idea of recollection & how time & moments can feel distorted if one fails to grab hold of any memory landmark.” —Kristen Brown

•

My grandmother lived with Alzheimer’s; her mother lived with Alzheimer’s.  Every lost memory scares the wits out of me. Logically, I know that wasting my lucid years worrying about a feared eventuality of non-lucidity is just the most stupid waste of a lifetime, but some days it gets the better of me.  The work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Kristen Brown, brought me to tears.  It is that blurred perception of reality, that soft focus of memories just out of reach that she captures so well.  Thanks for the perspective.

Learn more about available Artist Grants from the Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation!the deepest CUT

If you want to learn to cook well, I recommend starting with knives.  Every dish is made more difficult with a dull knife.  I had a brief affair with being a chef that put me in cooking school for a year.  The first thing I had to buy was a full set of very expensive knives.  (My mother had mine monogrammed. No kidding. SO embarrassing.)  Fear not, you can start with just a couple of not-so-expensive knives.  Everyone starts somewhere.  This next Call is looking to help artists just making their start.  Need funding?
