Denver Art Museum: Becoming Van Gogh

The "Becoming Van Gogh" exhibit at the Denver Art Museum closed yesterday.  I'm sorry I missed it.  The exhibit was sold out when I had a chance to get to Denver.  I recently came across this article posted by the DAM on Facebook:  Becoming Van Gogh
Check it out - links to several articles and videos about the exhibit.

Next Meeting - Jan 14

Quick Reminder:  The next CCAG meeting is this coming Monday, Jan. 14th starting at 7:00 at the Community Center

Art resolutions for 2013???

It's the beginning of a new year and time to make those new year resolutions.  Make 2013 your best artistic year yet.  I recently read an article on making resolutions.  The bottom line is that if a resolution is not specific, it will probably be forgotten within a couple of weeks.  Instead of saying "I'm going to get better at drawing."  say "I'm going to commit to drawing at least 20 minutes three times a week."   That way you have committed to setting aside time to practice.  And, as we all know, with practice comes improvement

One of my resolutions for this coming year is to post something once a week on this CCAG blog.  It may be a technique I'd like to try, a demonstration video link, a website, or anything else in the art world that strikes me.  If there is anything you'd like me to post, please send me an email:  sheilaphelps59@gmail.com and I'll make sure I get it posted.

I would really like this part of the CCAG blog to be a place for not just providing information, but sharing ideas.
