SUMMARY:Color Play Show at Loading Dock Gallery
DESCRIPTION:As we enter a new year\, artists Tarja Cockell and Brooke Lambert celebrate with Color Play\, a new show at the Loading Dock Gallery. This show combines Cockell’s quilts and textile collages and Lambert’s painted collagraphs\, both of which are saturated with rich color.\nTarja Cockell uses dyeing\, painting\, and other mixed media to create intricate\, textured surfaces in her textiles. She often adds stitching to enhance organic shapes and textures for her pieces.\n“I want to cherish the playfulness of color\,” Cockell says. “In this work\, I explore\nabstract colorations and dreamscapes with a hint of reality and a lot of space for imagination.”\nBrooke Lambert makes original collagraphs inspired by the ocean and the light within it — the light coming out of the cracks and crevices on the ocean floor\, within the waves and life beneath its surface. “Even on the darkest days\, the ocean has light\,”\nshe says\, “and this light\, for me\, represents hope.”\nBoth artists agree that\, during this difficult time in the world\, it is important to hold on to those moments that give us hope\, appreciate the beauty in nature\, and share art. It is their hope that the colors and exploration of form in their work resonates emotionally with those who view them.

SUMMARY:Color Play Show at Loading Dock Gallery
DESCRIPTION:As we enter a new year\, artists Tarja Cockell and Brooke Lambert celebrate with Color Play\, a new show at the Loading Dock Gallery. This show combines Cockell’s quilts and textile collages and Lambert’s painted collagraphs\, both of which are saturated with rich color.\nTarja Cockell uses dyeing\, painting\, and other mixed media to create intricate\, textured surfaces in her textiles. She often adds stitching to enhance organic shapes and textures for her pieces.\n“I want to cherish the playfulness of color\,” Cockell says. “In this work\, I explore\nabstract colorations and dreamscapes with a hint of reality and a lot of space for imagination.”\nBrooke Lambert makes original collagraphs inspired by the ocean and the light within it — the light coming out of the cracks and crevices on the ocean floor\, within the waves and life beneath its surface. “Even on the darkest days\, the ocean has light\,”\nshe says\, “and this light\, for me\, represents hope.”\nBoth artists agree that\, during this difficult time in the world\, it is important to hold on to those moments that give us hope\, appreciate the beauty in nature\, and share art. It is their hope that the colors and exploration of form in their work resonates emotionally with those who view them.

SUMMARY:Fine Arts For Middle Schoolers
DESCRIPTION:AN EXPLORATION OF WHAT ART CAN BE; LEARNING ABOUT ARTISTS\, STYLES\, TECHNIQUES & DEVELOPING AN ARTISTIC VOICE. \nDo you want to build and improve your art making skills?  \nIn this course\, middle school aged students will have the opportunity to learn about a variety of mediums and techniques while also learning to develop their own artistic voices. Students will participate in a series of prompts each class that will challenge their understanding of what art is and what it can be. In conjunction with our daily prompts\, students will also be introduced to a variety of contemporary artists whose practice and/or techniques relate to what we are learning. Students will be encouraged to use what they learn to develop their own artistic and visual voice in their work. \nTuesday Evenings 4:30-7PM: \nInstructor: Stephanie Cabrera \nFebrurary 2\, 9\, 23 \nMarch 2\, 9\, 16\, 23\, 30 \nApril 6\, 13 \nMaterials: Sketchbook required\, a basic art kit will be availble for purchase at the studio for a cost $25. Materials can be purchased outside of studio as well; kit includes a sketchbook\, paint saver container\, basic drawing supplies and paintbrushes. \nAges: 10-13 \nA full semester class pack covers all 10 Middle School classes for the semester at a $50 discount.  \nDue to new health and safety concerns\, we ask that students come to class with a mask. We will provide hand sanitizer and wipe down working areas with disinfectant before and after class. Shields and limited class sizes will also be implemented during this time. We ask that if your child or a household family member does not feel well to be open and communicate with us about your child missing class as a precautionary measure. Restaurant rules apply for snacks and drinks… students will be allowed to eat and drink at their work space but must wear masks when traveling through the studio.
