New Colored Pencil Drawing Class!!!!!

// April 20th, 2010 // No Comments » // art classes in miami, colored pencil class, drawing classes

I love working with colored pencil…. it is a very versatile and user friendly medium that offers endless possibilities for creative expression. You can work VERY large… the piece shown is 30″x40″ …very large for a pencil drawing! or…. very small…. I love doing very detailed miniature drawings . I would love to share this wonderful medium with you, and so I now offer a class dedicated EXCLUSIVELY to colored pencil drawing! You will learn different techniques and methods as you explore the luminous world of color at your fingertips…

Please check out my schedule of classes for details and registration information

Sheri Friedman Magic Realism

Hello!

Here I’m talking about my three magic realism pieces at the opening night of the 12×12 art show! Enjoy!

12×12 at Artspace MAGQ and Open Studio at Blu Moon Studio of Art

// April 4th, 2010 // No Comments » // Uncategorized

School was out this week and although it was quiet at Blu Moon it was a busy week for me. On Friday, April 26 I introduced three new works at the group show 12×12at Artspace MGQ. This was a great show, and the format for the work was 12″x12″ digitally produced  work… an interesting premise with great results. The range of interpretation among the participating artists was very intriguing, and the presentation of the show, a “mosaic’ of lined up 12×12 inch images was very effective. I was very pleased with the series I created for this show.. entitled ” Nirvana”, consisting of three digital prints that I reworked with   acrylic paint, silver leaf and colored pencil. Titled “Compassion” , ” Enigma”, and ” Dharma”, I think the three worked very well. On the evening of Saturday,March 3, I opened the doors of Blu Moon Studio for the first Saturday Gallery walk in the Grove. Along with my original artwork and giclee prints, I displayed examples of work created by my students in myadult acrylic painting class, my Portfolio preparation class, as well as my Mixed Media class for kids age 7-12. My visitors were given a tour of my beautiful art studio and enjoyed a glass of wine (or two) and some pleasant company. This will be an on-going event, and I hope to have some interesting exhibits and happenings as the year goes on.

“Stuffed Fish” in mixed media for kids class at Blu Moon!

// March 27th, 2010 // No Comments » // Uncategorized

I always try to add an element of fun to the art projects that we do in my Mixed Media class for kids… along with teaching the basics of good craftsmanship, design principals and plain ole drawing skills, I always try to encourage kids to express their natural creativity in ways that will pique their interest and produce works that they will be proud to call their own. Today we finished up our Carousel horse project and will soon be creating ” stuffed fish” using newspaper, paint ,and of course, glitter and sequins to create whimsical little paper sculptures. I know I will love the results ! I will post them for you when they are done…
peace and creativity
