For centuries the skill of recording scenery, subjects, and historical events through hand-crafted artworks were relied upon by society to understand the imagery associated with the civilized and uncivilized world around them. That skill evolved over time as devoted artists strived to depict their images as closely as possible to the real thing, setting new standards for artists that would last forever. Art Scene West wants to celebrate this genre of Realism and the contemporary masters who carry on that tradition. Head to our gallery and experience Realism like never before! Gallery Hours: 10 a.m. - 7 p.m., Monday-Sunday Visit: https://www.artscenewest.com/exhibition-of-realism-submissions Art Scene West Gallery on Facebook / Instagram

This watercolor class is about understanding the color, organization, and beauty of flowers. They can be so inspiring from which to paint! We will paint from real flowers as well as from photos, since some flowers do not last long when picked or they aren’t available. To capture their beauty, we will experiment with a variety of techniques and approaches. I encourage you to watch the demonstrations and then explore your own way of putting brush to paper. Please bring tube paints only and not paint pans. Be prepared to paint on the first day. Materials: 100% cotton, 140 lb. hot press and cold press paper pads, #8, #10 and/or #12 round brush, palette with lid for traveling, water container—large yogurt cup works well, No. 2 pencil, kneaded eraser, paper towels, tube colors—a warm and cool of each primary.

In this class the face is the focus. Using different techniques and mediums, we will find fun ways to approach an often-daunting subject. Students will be encouraged to bring photos of family, friends—even pets. We will discuss the best kinds of photos to use and how to use the ones you have even if they aren’t the best quality. There will be a model for one session, and we will try self-portraiture. This is an interesting way to improve your skills, find some new ones, and have fun while you are at it. Materials: A 9” x 12” pad of mixed-media paper; soft vine charcoal (willow is the best); woodless graphite pencil, 6B, 8B, or 9B (the higher the number the better); pencil sharpener; kneaded eraser. Other materials will be discussed in class, and the instructor will bring some supplies for students to try and share. Max students: 12 Athenaeum Music & Arts Library on Instagram and Facebook

Join Steve Breen, our editorial cartoonist and Pulitzer Prize winning creator, and inewsource Managing Editor Jamie Self as they discuss Steve's latest project - "Fentanyl: A Decade of Death." This illustrated story looks at the toll fentanyl has taken in San Diego, California and nationwide over the last decade as the cheaply produced and highly potent synthetic opioid that has been added to more and more illicit drugs, driving overdose deaths. Through his compelling art style, Breen explores lives lost to fentanyl in our region, uses compelling images to help readers understand the fatal risks of using the drug, and offers information on how to seek help and prevent drug overdoses.

Participants will learn the process of relief printmaking. Printmaking is an artistic process based on the principle of transferring images from a matrix onto another surface, most often paper or fabric. Traditional printmaking techniques include woodcut, etching, engraving, and lithography, while modern artists have expanded available techniques to include screen printing. Participants will have the opportunity to create multiple prints of different colors and participate in aspects of “social practice” in which artworks serve to create community spaces through sharing and trading. *Seniors, use CODE: SENIOR10 to get $10 off of this workshop!
