Orange You Glad It’s Autumn

The air is getting crisper as the days get shorter ushering in Autumn. We invited artists to submit work that epitomizes the changing season. Is it color scenery, a memory or objects that recall this cycle of change?
We invited artists to submit original work that elicits an Autumnal feeling.

The Art Guild invites all artists, high school and older, to submit artworks for consideration for “ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS, GLUE: MIXED MEDIA”, a Juried Competition and Exhibition.   

All objects, both commonplace and unique, have been grist in the mill of artistic creativity. We invite artists to submit mixed media works, which have challenged conventional points of view.

CRITERIA All styles from non-objective to abstracted realism are welcome. All works must be original and have been created in the last five years. References used in the creation of the submitted work must be the artist’s own, or copyright-released for use in this work. Works previously exhibited at The Art Guild Gallery will not be considered.

MEDIUMS: Included but not limited to acrylic, charcoal, collage, colored pencil, digital art, ink, mixed media, oil, pastel, pencil, printmaking, sculpture, or watercolor. No Copies, Master Copies, Photography, Reproductions or Giclees.

SIZE AND FRAMING: Size, with frame, must not exceed 36” on the longest side.  Work should be cleanly matted and/or framed (if appropriate), wired securely for hanging, with the wire attached via screw eyes or D-rings to the frame (not the backboard).  Gallery wraps are acceptable, but they must be a least 1” thick with all edges painted and no staples showing. Sculpture is limited to 30lbs and can be no larger than 24”W by 36”H. No saw tooth hangers, tape or string on the back.  Work must be labeled with artist’s name, phone number and email address.

Framing of your work must comply with the above OR IT WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED.

JUDGE:  Amy Worth was as a textile artist for over twenty five years. Her designs, in fabric and wallpaper, are part of the product lines of Ralph Lauren, Paloma Picasso, Calvin Klein and many others. Worth taught Fashion Design & Illustration, a program she created, at Huntington High School for twelve years. She owns and operates The South Street Gallery in Greenport with her husband Tom Payne.

Learn Photoshop Fundamentals for Beginners and Advanced Compositing

Learn Photoshop Fundamentals for Beginners and Advanced Compositing

Online Photoshop Classes - Beginners & Advanced

with Alan Perlman

ONLINE: Beginners Photoshop 101 – Fundamentals for Artists

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Photoshop is a spectacular creative instrument, but only if you know how to use it. In this class you will learn to customize the interface, master the most important tools, explore basic editing concepts and critical techniques including making selections, creating layers and layer masks, image compositing, simple retouching, color controls, and how to do most everything in the powerful ACR workspace. Follow along using the provided resource files, then expand your horizons by experimenting with your own materials. There is no limit to what you can build in Photoshop, starting with a strong foundation. Most any version of Photoshop will suffice, but the current subscription based edition clearly offers the greatest range of options and potential.

SPECIAL NOTES

* Classes are confirmed one week prior to the start date. In order to help us confirm classes, please register as early as possible
* Students should have a current subscription to the Adobe subscription plan that provides and maintains up to date versions of Photoshop, Lightroom and Bridge.
* Please familiarize yourself with the Zoom platform – specifically the “share screen” function so Alan can see your screen when necessary. A tutorial can be found here

Medium: Photography
Level: Beginners
Instructor: Alan Perlman

ONLINE: Compositing in Photoshop

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Get creative with Photoshop! Photoshop is far more than a utility for “fixing” pictures. It is an artistic medium that is the foundation for the genre known as Digital Art. This class explores techniques and procedures offering powerful tools for individual expression. By building projects step by step in class, students gain knowledge, skills and inspiration applicable to their own work. Each session will be recorded and the video made available for continuing reference. This is not a beginner class. A basic understanding of selections, layers, layer masks, brushes and blend modes is required.
