The Business of Art
(Lecture and Discussion)
|
Even Rembrandt and Michelangelo had to attend to the business of their art.
They had to find patrons, hire assistants, and pay taxes. Yet in our day, we
try to pretend that we are somehow “above” such mundane considerations.
In this lecture, I will address questions such as how to find display venues,
how to price your art, how to track expenses, and further pragmatic issues.
If you have wrestled with this aspect of the art world, you will find many
answers here.
This lecture and discussion begins at 9:00 am on January 30

Making Color Sparkle

Have you ever tried to get beautiful colors into your paintings—but somehow
it just looked dull? How can you make your paintings glow with rich, saturated
color? This twelve-week course will answer all your color questions. We’ll
study the way artists used color in the Renaissance, during the Impressionist
period, and during the years of Modernism. You will develop an understanding
of color which will open your eyes and improve your paintings tremendously.
