Our next meeting is February 11th at Starkweather Arts Center in Romeo. The meeting will be held downstairs at 7pm and is followed by snack and a presentation. This month we have two presentations. Janet Davison will show her demo from last month and explain how she finished it followed by a Q&A session of art questions led by Suzanne Wilson. Basically it is an "Everything you ever wanted to know about art but were afraid to ask session." This was so much fun the first time we decided to repeat it. Guests are welcome, see you there!

Happy New Year! Our next meeting is January 14th, 7 pm at Starkweather Arts Center. The meeting will be held downstairs and begins at 7 followed by snacks and then a presentation. Guests are welcome so feel free to check us out. This months presenter is our own Janet Davison Janet will demonstrate how she uses gesture and blind contour drawing in creating her abstract figure paintings. After drawing, acrylic paint markers will be used to add color. Here is a link to her website.

I am an art teacher and these 3 figures were in my senior citizen art class at Canterbury on the Lake. I quickly drew them and then added background shapes and colors.

Our next meeting is Tuesday October, 8th at 7pm. Due to the Empty Bowls Event being set up the meeting will take place upstairs.
Our hosts this month will be Michelle Hunt and Peggy Whitely.

TAAE members please remember that we are meeting to debrief this year’s show @ Starkweather prior to the meeting on 10/8.

In Lieu of a speaker it was decided that we will try out a new activity for members called Something Old, Something New. Members can bring in two pieces of their art that represent a change or milestone in their work and share it with the group. Something old can date back as far as elementary school or it could be a current piece that represents a struggle. Then something new could represent what you are doing now or a breakthrough moment. The items and the reason for bringing them is up to you. Come join us for a fun evening and get to know your fellow RGA members better with this sharing experience. The session will be moderated by Vianna Szabo.
