December 2018 PGA President Jim Anderson’s Message

We have our Christmas potluck in December. It is a wonderful time to

share our favorite dishes, get to know each other more and of course

exchange gifts. The gifts can be small art or something related to art such

as a book, art supplies, or gift certificates (wrapped). Even more im-

portant it is a time to connect with each other. This year the potluck will be at the Asia Pacific Cul-

tural Center from 11am - 1:00pm. This is a gathering of unique and inspired people.

Bring your favorite potluck dish and join us.

One of the ways we support each is to attend each other’s receptions and shows

when we have solo shows. Our art is an expression of who we are, what we value

and how we see the world. In many ways, each piece of art is a mini self-portrait. It

is deeply appreciated to have another PGA member show up at our shows and recep-

tion. It is a gift that we can give each other all year long.

..Merry Christmas .….Jim Jim’s phone #’s: 253-531-0713 c 253-255-6826

A Suggestion:

We have supported YWCA

over the years at our

Christmas potluck.

Please donate….but bring cash or a

check made out to YWCA to our

potluck. Give it to Nola Tresslar.

If our meeting had been earlier in the

month a toy/gift could have been

brought, but the YWCA will have

already bought gifts. Children are

now allowed to bring pets

to be with them during

their stay…..so they will

take pet food donations.

Nola Tresslar won a special award LAST

YEAR...NEGLECTED TO TELL US… a painting

Kay Young Award, from her Puget Sound Sumi

artist group. It’s given to a member who has

given a lot back to the group over the years.

She received this award last year (2018) so the

painting moves on to another re-

cipient soon. Each person who

receives this award gets to put

their chop mark on the painting.

Nola says its been a pleasure

and honor to have this painting

in her home.

tions, an annual member art show, a yearly art workshop, member’s art featured on our website, a DVD art in-

structional library, and a welcoming place to meet local artists.

Ed Kane (Photography) will be our January presenter….more info later. Bring your questions

what you want to know about photography so he can answer during his presentation.

Hopefully Ed will be at the potluck so you could even give them to him at that time. Susan Hall February presenter. Tis Huberth our program chairperson,

will have more info in January 2019. What is a “Good Shape”?

DEFINITION:

1. Height & width are different:

Squares, circles equilateral triangles are boring.

2. One edge is “Oblique” (Slanted), draws eye

into the painting not toward any edge.

3. Interlocks with nearby shapes.

Edges have bumps and dents...

like a jigsaw puzzle piece.

REMEMBER:

Not every shape in a painting will be a “good

shape” (full moons, etc. are allowed

But the more good shapes there are, the

more exciting the painting……

es do you have laying

around….waiting for you to get

inspired….to finish?????

November Demo: Tis Huberth

“The Positive &

Beneficial Critique”

The word “critique can bring back stories

of horror and humiliation in the hearts & minds of many artist. After all the

word “critique” means “to criticize” - doesn’t it? Not really - the true defini-

tion actually means “to analyze”. A wonderful demo by Tis...just wasn’t long

enough as some members didn’t get their art pieces critiqued....another time

Tis? —Tis Huberth—(who has been painting for 53 years and teaching for 33)

talked about the advantages and many benefits of positive critiquing and the

ability to analyze our own work in order to grow as an artist. This lady changed some of our “attitudes”.

Tis left flyers for each of us, but I included here since some PGA members were not at the meeting.

Building a Painting...start with an idea (from photo, subject, feeling, etc.) Determine Paper Format...paper form

and idea can be reversed in sequence.

Design strategies...planned and/or intuitive

Then we have Principles and Elements

Learn & forget (so usage becomes Intuitive).

Harmony Line

Contrast Shape

Rhythm Value

Repetition Color

Gradation Movement/Direction

Dominance Size

Balance Texture/Pattern

Unity

Individual Creativity

Technique

Note: A painting may not include

all of the principles and elements,

but the more that are included,

usually the more successful

the painting.

Thank you PGA members bring-

ing your art to share. We all bene-

fit... and Werner for your photos.
