SUMMARY:Intro To Short-Form Filmmaking
DESCRIPTION:STORYTELLING THROUGH SHORT-FORM VIDEOS \n  \nIntroduction to Short-Form Filmmaking will invite students to incorporate their own personal voices creatively through short-form video as a storytelling outlet. With the rise of smartphones and social media\, it has become easier to make short films and share them with the world. In recent years video has emerged as a powerful and engaging medium on social media\, that has the capacity to invoke emotion. From motivation to a simple laugh. Students will be taken through the entire process of drafting an idea\, developing a storyboard\, scouting a location\, utilizing tools/props\, filming with whatever camera they have at their disposal\, editing on a mobile device\, and sharing via social media and YouTube. \n  \nHenry Marte: Filmmaker\, published photographer\, founder of Marte Media\, Marketing Manager of Western Avenue Studios & Lofts\, Documentary Film School at Massachusetts College of Art & Design\, Social Media Management certificate at Middlesex Community College\, Digital Media Marketing certificate at Middlesex Community College\, Refuge Lowell board member. \n  \nThis program is a traveling class; by registering your child for this class you are giving permission for them to travel on foot to new locations in the city of Lowell each class. \n  \nPlease let us know what sort of device your child will be using for the class. \n  \nWednesday Mornings: 11-2pm  \nInstructor: Henry Marte \nJuly 7\, 14\, 21\, 28 \nAugust 4\, 11 \n  \nRequired materials: Mobile device (phone or tablet\, fully charged)\, Sunblock\, good walking shoes\, drinking water\, hat \nSuggested materials: Battery pack or charger. \n  \nDue to new health and safety concerns\, we ask that students come to class with a mask.

SUMMARY:About Face Show at Loading Dock Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Energetic lines and brilliant colors electrify at the Loading Dock Gallery this August. Stephen Beccia and Richard Cross present About Face\, a show of contemporary figurative art. Their work explores the human figure and the nature of portraiture. Inspired by Cubism and Pop\, About Face experiments with new visual rhythms for the 21st century. \n  \nStephen Beccia lives and works in Hudson Massachusetts. After a career as a musician and writer\, he turned his focus to telling stories with images on canvas and paper. “Every painting is a new adventure.” Beccia’s inspirations include such artists as Miro\, Basquiat\, and Picasso. Expressive geometries and flowing colors are a constant theme.  A self-taught painter\, Beccia says he’s “searching for a world of design and color that does not yet exist.” Beccia has displayed and sold his art in several New England galleries\, businesses\, and exhibits. \n  \nRichard Cross works in illustrations\, paint\, and mixed media. Like Beccia\, Cross is self-taught and loves to experiment. Inspired by Pop Art\, with a gritty cast\, his work is sharp-edged\, transforming familiar images with intense color and agitated line. Many of his pieces include a nod to film noir.  He combines aggressive color\, stark line\, and grungy filth with exacting precision to produce pieces that are both off-putting and vulnerable. “My goal is to generate a subtle anxiousness within the viewer.” Cross lives in Billerica and is a member artist at Western Avenue Studios in Lowell. He has shown in galleries around Boston\, Somerville\, and Worcester. \n  \nAbout Face runs August 4-29\, 2021. Meet the artists August 7\, 3-5 pm. Find Loading Dock Gallery at 122 Western Avenue\, Lowell\, MA 01851. Open Wednesday – Saturday 12-5:30 pm\, and Sunday 12-4 pm.
