WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 26
Inspiring Artists: Surface-Form Relationship
Gernot Dick
7:00–8:30 p.m.
Pemberton & District Public Library
FREE
This slide presentation illustrates how surface energy can express a 3D form, but also can destroy the aesthetic quality of a form. The issue of “Surface-Form Relationship” relates to concerns in painting and sculpting and to endless situations in regard to objects we live with, in daily circumstances.
This presentation will heighten your visual awareness and can give you a new perspective in everyday life, not just for the artist, but also for any curious person, wanting to live more connected with the natural and man-made world around us.

Most people, when asked, say “I can’t draw”. Even artists often say drawing is not their strength. This two-hour workshop offers the chance to discover your own unique, expressive, creative mark.
This “Intuitive Mark-Making” process can also be a strong tool for idea or motive development for painters and sculptors.
Register for this workshop at pembertonartscouncil.com as space is limited. Location details will be provided upon registration.
