The Salmon Arts Council hosted an "Art Day" at the Pioneer School on April 7, 2011. Teachers, local artists and the SAC came together in this event toprovide students with an engaging and fun day of creative splendor. The SAC was able to find and organize several local artists from around the
community to provide a day full of creative excitement. The SAC provided funds, materials, and support to our local artists in order to coordinate a day that gives every student the chance to create and be inspired by true professionals. It was a full day of art as grade by grade the students created different projects lead by one of seven local artists who volunteered their time and Projects included experimental watercolor, pastels, drawing, wool dying and felting. The SAC hopes to continue to team with the school to provide arts education to our aspiring artists. Stop by the city center between April 18 and May 20 to view some of the finished projects created that day along with other art work by our community's aspiring young artists. Participating artists included : For more information or to participate in an upcoming Art Day please contact Meri Galvan at 756-2987. All images courtesy of Meri Galvan, www.myshutterlove.com.
Adobe Lightroom Workshop with David Marx June 10-11, City Center On June 11 and 12, David Marx will instruct on how to improve your photography with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and Multiple Digital Frames. Digital capture, and new image processing software programs, have opened up incredible new doors in photography. This short seminar will focus on achieving maximum image quality with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. We will discuss new ways to solve traditional photographic problems in the lassroom and in the field Throughout the weekend, we will use the digital cameras, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3.0, and a variety of other specialized image processing software programs to create compelling images. After covering Photoshop Lightroom's impressive image processing capabilities we will explore new techniques to expand dynamic range, extend or limit focus, and to play with the passage of time in a digital photograph. We will work on new ways to remove flaws like the visible noise or grain that the camera creates when using long exposure times. We will explore new technologies to create carefully crafted photographs that are noticeably different from traditional photography. Throughout the weekend, we will mix engaging lectures and field shoots into each day of the seminar as we move the art of photography up to the next level. You do not have to be a professional photographer, or a Photoshop expert, to enjoy this seminar. You will get more out of this program though if you are comfortable operating a digital SLR camera in manual mode and if you are already familiar with the basics of image management with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. A solid tripod and an intervalometer or cable release are also recommended. The workshop will be held on Saturday, June 11 & 12, 2011 at the Salmon City Center (and some outdoor shooting) from 9am – 5 pm. Saturday will include some night shooting. For a detailed schedule please contact the Salmon Arts Council office. The cost is $125.00 for SAC members and $150.00 for nonmembers, special rates available for students.
Silk Dyeing Workshop with Deb Gelet June 18, 10am - 4pm With such an incredible turn-out for the last silk dyeing workshop, the Salmon Arts Council's Arts Academy is proud to host another workshop taught by textile artist, Deb Gelet from Ketchum, Idaho. The workshop will take place on Saturday, June 18 from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Sacajawea Learning Center. Participants will dye scarf-sized pieces as before, but with an additional emphasis of using them in our homes as table cloths or wrapped around pillow forms. Each student should bring a lunch and dress for being outside for about an hour. Students will go on walkabout and gather windfall plant materials (leaves, grasses, twigs, etc.) to use as printing "tools." Participants will also learn about the Japanese method of hapa-zome, basically a way of pounding images and color into the silk. The prints are hauntingly beautiful and redolent of the veins, shapes, and moods of the area in which they are gathered. Please rest assured we'll talk about gathering materials responsibly, too. "Textiles elicit emotion simply by their tactile nature," said Gelet. "We all carry some sensory memory of the feel of a particular fabric, and my work begins with unfettered (unframed, unmounted) silk to maintain that evocative nature while the silk is in my hands." The cost of the class is $55 for SAC members and $65 for non-members. It includes all materials needed to make two silk scarves. For more information please contact the Salmon Arts Council office.
