Onslow All County Art Students Workshop

Great opportunity for newbies to drop and look on as several OOPS artists give a "painting from life" workshop to groups of the All County Visual Artists high school students of Onslow County. This is our fourth year helping these students and promoting life painting while giving of our talents and time. We encourage as many OOPS members to join us as possible... the teaching portion will be handled by a select few but all members can help by example and giving individual attention to art students.... whatever you feel comfortable with. If you want to be a part of something very rewarding... you will not want to miss this one! The past events were huge successes!!

"All County" Visual Art Workshop HUGE Success!

A special thanks to Karen, Mitchell, and Bernie for working with the 2012 All County High School Visual Artists today at White Oak High School. Approximately 40 of the top visual artists from Onslow County gathered today for the round robin style workshops. OOPS members taught four separate groups painting from direct observation. The first group painted outside but the wind proved to strong and the other three groups painted inside thanks to "johnny on the spot" Karen who set up a still life for the remaining groups. It was a rewarding day for the students and OOPS artists!

Karen, Stephen, Bernie, and Mitchell gave their time, talent, and Saturday to teach four 1 1/2 hour plein air workshops to the best high school artists of Onslow County. The day was a huge success as over 60 students from 5 county high schools (White Oak, Northside, Swansboro, Dixon, and Southwest) attended the workshop. Their day was divided into four round-robin style workshops which included plein air painting, clay modeling, figure drawing, and visual journaling.

All County Art Students Workshop BIG Success!

OOPS Members; Karen Crenshaw, Stephen Greer, Bernie Rosage, and Mitchell Morton recently taught an all day workshop on plein air painting to the top high school art students in Onslow County. The 24 "All County Art Students" represented several high schools in the county and worked through four different workshops in a "round robin" style of teaching. At days end... parents and friends gathered to see the fruits of their labor. The event was organized by several high school art teachers and Janae Copeland, Onslow County Curriculum Coordinator for the Arts and Foreign Languages. The students were very attentive and a joy to work with... we hope this is an annual event to highlight the young visual artists in our community.

OOPS to work with All County Art Students on May 1, 2010.

I have mentioned to several of you about or opportunity to work with the Onslow All County Art Students all day May 1, 2010 at White Oak High School. Deb Pylypiw, art teacher at WOHS, has helped organize the event with several high school art teachers throughout the county. This event is a special opportunity to highlight the brightest visual artists in our county and give the proper acknowledgement they deserve. It is also a way to give credit to the fine art instructors in our county. It is a privilege and honor for OOPS to be asked to teach the plein air portion of this round-robin style event. Karen, Stephen, and I have agreed to teach the sessions while all the other OOPS members will paint along side the students and offer help and encouragement... for those feeling uneasy doing that we simply want you to show up and paint. Please make plans to attend this event on Saturday, May 1st at whatever time you can... if it's all day or for a couple hours... no matter... your time and talents will be appreciated. The students (approx. 15 per session) will be working in a limited palette of acrylics... red, yellow, ultramarine blue, and titanium white. Deb has sent us a schedule for the days events which is listed below .
