SUMMARY:Background/Colors Art Show at Loading Dock Gallery
DESCRIPTION:This February\, the Loading Dock Gallery presents Background/Colors\, a show which explores setting\, sensation\, and heritage. Gallery members present a body of work that invites the viewer to reimagine experience through masterful interaction of imagery and color. \nBackground/Colors explores the energy of our worlds: inherited\, perceived\, and imagined. Artwork ranges from traditional fine craft through realism to abstract\, in paint\, photography\, wood\, and fiber. \nCityscapes explore the life lived now\, revealing energy hidden in the commonplace. Photographs and paintings celebrate the New England coast in its many moods.  Fine woodwork and fiber wall art expand on craft traditions developed over generations. \nBackground/Colors also includes abstract work\, from pop to contemporary. Strong pattern and texture combine with spontaneous and imagined imagery\, in photographs\, collagraphs\, digital arts\, and acrylic on carved bas-relief. \nBackground Colors runs February 2-27\, 2022 at Loading Dock Gallery\, 122 Western Avenue\, in Lowell\, MA.  Loading Dock Gallery is open noon to 5:30pm\, Wednesday through Saturday\, and noon-4pm on Sundays. Join the artists for a reception 3-5pm\, Saturday\, February 5\, during Western Avenue Studios monthly open house\, which runs from noon-5pm. \nLoading Dock Gallery is part of Loading Dock Arts\, Inc.\, a 501c3.

SUMMARY:Watercolor: Controlled Chaos
DESCRIPTION:Watercolor has a reputation of being hard to control\, with precision and detail difficult to attain. In this course\, Lowell-based illustrator and painter Ashley Eisenman will help students to “learn to let go” and embrace watercolor painting as expressive\, versatile\, and fun. Through a varied set of classes\, students will gain skills in the fundamentals of watercolor painting and composition\, sketching\, color mixing and choice\, and how to create representational pieces from abstract beginnings. Students will be encouraged to experiment with a variety of subjects including abstract expressions\, portraits of humans and animals\, and pop-art. \nInstructor: Ashley Eisenman \nCo-instructor: Emily Watso \nRequired materials: Wear a mask\, sketchbook\, favorite personal brushes or paints\, & clothes you don’t mind getting messy\,  snacks\, and something to drink. \n*Please inform us in advance of any food allergies. \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. \n  \n
