Workshop with David Aguilar
Figure Drawing Made Easy(er) Learn an amazing system of drawing the human figure that you can begin to use right away. I will share this system as a pro-gram that will span several ses-sions. The first two sessions will take place on the first two Wednesdays of June, and then will be scheduled at different intervals after that. Please bring pencils, erasers, a ruler, a com-pass or circle template and a notebook or sketch pad to class in which to keep your lessons, as subsequent lessons will build upon previous ones. You will be copying the examples that I will draw for you in class. At the end of the program, you should have created your own anatomy book to which you can refer.

President’s Message June 2017
Many of our members participated
in the sidewalk show “Arts In the
Village” on May 13 in Vincentown.
And though it was raining we had
ample room in the Vincentown Fire-
hall to hold the event. All had an
interesting time and the superb mu-
sic added to the festive feel of the
arts.
Interesting: When what you might
think as being a lousy day turned
out to be a fantastic time to network.
I am reminded of Joseph Campbell,
author of the “The Power of Myth”
and what he said about doors, that;
“doors will open when there were no
doors”. We met some interesting
artisans and we were able to get the
word out about WAA. Donna and I
were also able to brainstorm about
future events that we are interested
in doing.
Our Members are also expanding
the reach of the WAA’s influence by
teaching art outside in the Kennedy
community. These members like
Dave Watson, Grace Cooper and
Nancy Gower are an inspiration to
me and what it means to participate
in the human community. I am also
amazed how a simple talk with Ann
Becker about outreach has turned
into a wider and more expansive
idea about marketing the WAA and
our benefits to the art world in which
we live. It also helps when you
make some money doing what you
love.
I also want to mention “Hats Off” to
Dave Aguilar and Michael Leatham
for their efforts in keeping the
Thursday night session going. Mi-
chael has struggled lately with at-
tendance and somehow manages
to power through road blocks.
I have included in this newsletter photos of the Arts in the Village event held in Vincentown.
Best Wishes,
RJ Haas WAA President

• Monochromatic Photography Exhibit running from June 29 – August 20 at the Smithville Annex Gallery. When a person thinks of a monochromatic photograph, they are most likely imagining it as black and white or to be more precise shades of gray. The Mono-chromatic Photography Exhibit expands from this by considering the Merriam-Webster Dictionary definition of monochromatic, which is “having or consisting of one color or hue.” This is not just a black & white show. It will be interesting to see the direction a photographer takes in choosing a color, as the color can completely change the mood of an image. Art Intake: 6/23, 2-4pm; and 6/24, 10am-12pm.
