Drawing Marathon  2012 WCADC Welcome

Drawing Marathon Description:  There are many variations that have been created over the years to fulfill the desire for a drawing marathon. Our format was created to allow as many of our members to participate as possible. Having numerous days throughout the year and at different locations, hopefully will facilitate your participation.  This program is designed as a yearlong project. The participants will be engaged in the drawing process at designated locations on specific dates. You may sign up for more than one session and it is fine to choose different studios each time. As artists you will create work based on your personal concepts and method of working, therefore how you choose to draw, what you choose to draw is ultimately your choice.   This is a free program for our members. Non-members may be invited to participate in the process. The marathon part of the program happens in two ways: Working in a space, foreign to one, creates a special dynamic. It is a challenge but it is about more than that. The act of making work in the presence of others creates a shared experience, creates a memory and that can be as enriching as the actual process of drawing. Someone suggested/asked if the work could be collaborative...absolutely. Below is the list of Hosting artists who are opening their studios for this process. And a list of materials we are going to work with.   How to Participate:   Contact Cherie M. Redlinger rcredlinger@comcast.net Each artists indicates which dates and studio has a time that they can commit to attending Each artist provides her own materials  Format: Host Artist's studio Sign up 3 to 6 members to 'host' mini drawing marathons in their studio. Each studio host will accommodate as many members as they can at their studio. The Studio host is responsible only for opening their space as a gathering place for work to be created. Over the course of the year,2012, these drawing marathons will happen at the specified time and place by the host. Some of the hosts will be offering more than one date at their studio  Details Theme: We would like to keep the work monochromatic. Black, White and Grays - Your grays are allowed full range of tint but should read as gray. There are red grays, blue grays, brown grays, purple grays, etc. Materials: charcoal, gesso, pencil, conte crayon, Crayons, watercolor crayons, inks, oil sticks, gesso (if the hosting artist can handle these media) Substrate: Paper Max. Size: 40" wide 60" high  WHAT HAPPENS AFTERWARDS? At the end of the year, we propose creating an exhibit from the outcome of this work. Therefore the Work must be wall mountable to be in the exhibit. As long as the work is done on paper and can be wall mounted, you may give the work a 3D aspect. This is an acknowledgement that Sculptors have a hard time with 2D.   Where & When  HOSTING STUDIOS Thursday, April 26, 2012 7:00-9:00PM Art Center Goodwin House Baileys Crossroads 3440 S Jefferson St Falls Church, VA 22041 Linda Smith-Bugge's cell is 703-201-4443 in case anyone gets lost. Hope you will participate and take advantage of this Free event. See you there!!
