Relate And Create

Workshops for teens to explore their artistic creativity

Relate and Create is designed to offer teens, who want to extend their art education beyond the classroom, the opportunity to explore a variety of media while studying under accomplished artists. Each of the one-week sessions will focus on a different aspect of the visual arts - drawing, sculpture, and painting.
 Week One  
Introduction  to Drawing 
Students will learn different drawing techniques using an array of materials both traditional such as charcoal, graphite, pastel and ink to non-traditional materials such as Georgia red clay. Also covered will be the many papers and other surfaces that can be used as drawing surfaces. Genre will include still life, figurative, portrait and more modern styles such as abstract and graphic novel illustration.
Basics will include light, design/composition, which surfaces and materials will render the subject matter the most convincing, tone, textures, blending, stippling and cross hatching. The importance of journal/sketchbook keeping and how to take photographs that are usable for composition will also be included. 

Instructor:
Cameron Hampton

Dates: July 7 to 11, 2014

Times: 9am to 12pm
OCAF Members:$150
Non-members: $160
Week Two
Introduction to Sculpture 
Students will explore three dimensions by creating sculptural forms using a multi-media process that combines paper-clay, fabric and paper-mache techniques. Inspiration will be drawn from traditional art found around the world. Students will discover that sculptural creations form Egyptian, Native American, Aboriginal, Central Asian and other cultures provide a rich treasure trove of ideas for evolving their own unique forms.

Jeff Dantzler's arrests may be the best thing that ever happened to him

THis has next to nothing to do with Oconee County with the possible exception of the location of his former office, but a former colleague of mine on the radio got popped today for four counts. Any one who has listened to 960 the Ref AM sports talk radio or heard the UGA Lady Dawgs or men's baseball team has surely heard the encyclopedic knowledge of one Jeff Dantzler. Jeff and I are pretty much diametrically opposed poltically, but today he was arrested on four counts including DUI. I hope he gets the help he needs following his incarceration. I work for a lawyer who could help him out if he does not having someone already representing him. This man is a great broadcaster and I hope this arrest serves as a wake-up call for him and his rock and roll lifestyle. I live a far from perfect life myself but long ago and far away I learned how and when not to drink. Now we will be without he dulcet tones on Lady Bulldog broadcasts as well as on Georgia baseball games and also on the after...

A deep wound waiting to be healed - restoring order and dignity in the city cemetery

Image
The Watkinsville City Cemetery is an oasis amidst the houses on the east side of the municipality, near the neighborhood once called Sidney. There is a large section of the cemetery that remains a mystery, but perhaps we can work together to dignify the eternal resting spot somewhat better than the current neglected and forgotten (not to mention unmarked) graves of 70 people, more than likely of African-American descent. They deserve to be honored as well. An effort has been undertaken to repair the graves with fill dirt to stop the continued erosion amongst the graves. The most recent grave and bench belong to Larry Sheats,  and as any one who played basketball at Herman C. Michael Park or knew him otherwise  can attest, he was among the best people this county has ever seen. Larry was always ready to help. Now it is our turn to help. Do it for someone you knew there, maybe the Hardens, or the Downs, or any number of other people, but allow me to reminisce about how L...

I strongly disagree with the impending demolishing of the iconic Watkinsville Water Tower

Image
I know the Watkinsville Water Tower near where the "Big Spring" of what was one called Big Springs, Georgia serves no functional purpose anymore. I know it is a hazard. I know it is rusty and old and past its usefulness for the most part. I see a purpose beyond the aesthetic and instead as a possible financial benefit.  I know there is a way to keep it and make money for our municipality. I wonder who is doing the seemingly shoddy job of removing it (or at least preparing to raze it) and who stands to make money off that?  The dismantling of the Watkinsville Water Tower has already caused one gas leak and I can only imagine what problems await the demolition of the dinosaur.  If it is only because a group of kids have been crawling up it, then build a fence around it. I would think the City of Watkinsville would benefit and making monthly lease fees if they would instead do what about 90% of these abandoned water towers do and that is become a cellular telephone tow...
