Indiana artist Avon Waters will be leading this all-day\, hands-on Saturday workshop\, painting scenes in nature. In this workshop\, you learn how to see and use values to make your art impactful while you explore new techniques and refine those you already use. As you work\, you will explore how to connect your art to conservation while you depict nature’s connectivity to life. \nAvon will employ “wet pastel” techniques\, focusing on controlling values – “a tonalistic approach to painting” that works for all 2-D mediums\, although he will work in pastels mixed with specific mediums. This workshop is perfect for those who consider themselves beginning artists to seasoned painters. Because the medium can be worked at varying levels of dryness-to-wetness and can be brushed\, the techniques and processes will resonate with painters who work in watercolor\, gouache\, acrylic\, and oil. See more about wet pastel techniques here: https://thepastelartist.co.uk/painting-with-pastel/ \nBring your own soft pastels. See the SUPPLY LIST. \nAvon Waters is a Pastel Society of America juried member\, the lead artist and contact for the Indiana Waterways Art Project\, and is the CEO of the non-profit\, Art Nature Consortium \nLearn more about Avon Waters at \n\nhttps://www.avonwaters.com\nhttps://www.facebook.com/avonwatersfinearts\n Instagram: @avonwatersarts\n\nSee photos of our wet pastel workshop led by Avon Waters in March of 2023.\n \n________________\nFee: $65 for active members of Artists for Climate Awareness or Arts Alliance of Greater Bloomington.

The top four winners received the four available cattail heads. \n  \nOn July 14\, Chandra Craig Rettinger opened with a brief talk on the meanings of ecological and biological terms and why these are important for a healthy planet. As the children crafted frogs\, toads\, bees\, and trees from recyclable materials\, they talked about biomes\, habitats\, and ecosystems and learned about symbiosis. After the creations were made\, the group placed their creations into their respective habitats in the garden.

Her subjects focus on her passions: disappearing coastlines of the Great Lakes\, decaying trees uprooted by rising waters from glacier melt\, animal species being pushed by climate change to unprecedented areas\, forest fires\, violent storms\, and their aftermath. Recently\, on a trip through the mid-south Into Florida\, Anne journaled her observations of climate change in the regions. Her ceramic pieces will be wall plaques of plants in nature\, and will be based on the watercolors she created. \nThis demonstration will accompany a display of Anne’s work on campus and at The Waldron Arts Center\, which will be available for viewing throughout June and July. \nLearn more about Anne Farley Gaines at https://www.annefarleygaines.com/. \n\n \nThe Mission of Artists for Climate Awareness is to provide education and awareness of environmental concerns and climate change. In the context of learning artistic techniques\, we discuss how our art can serve civic engagement. Accordingly\, there will be some related discussion. \nArtists for Climate Awareness is a 501(c)3 organization and cannot advocate for any partisan cause. Artists for Climate Awareness is pleased to offer this workshop as part of its series to help artists learn how to use art as a way to bring social awareness to conservation efforts in your communities. \n\n\nWith thanks and appreciation to:\n \n\n\n\n\n\n  URL:https://artistsforclimateawareness.org/event/anne-farley-gaines-ceramic-demonstration-free/ LOCATION:Ivy Tech Community College\, Bloomington\, IN\, 200 Daniels Way\, Bloomington\, IN\, 47404\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://artistsforclimateawareness.org/wp-content/uploads/gaines_anne_aquaticsanctuary2.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20230512T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20230611T170000 DTSTAMP:20260429T042405 CREATED:20230503T143610Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230601T012811Z UID:1227-1683878400-1686502800@artistsforclimateawareness.org SUMMARY:Gallery Show - Conserve Bloomington DESCRIPTION:(Featured image: “Mutations\,” by Karen Holtzclaw) \nA gallery show May 12 – June 11 at Arts Alliance Center provides environmentally themed art and music to the Bloomington Community. \nThis gallery exhibition\, coordinated by Artists for Climate Awareness\, is open to all artistic mediums and is meant to depict aspects of nature\, environment\, and climate change. Artistic expressions on display may be abstract or realistic and may consist of works that evoke experience such as: caring and hopes of preservation; depiction of changes over time; description of what has been loved and lost\, “wake-up” call-to-action\, and more. Climate art is intended to be a dialog-starter to raise public awareness and thought about climate change. \nArtists for Climate Awareness organized the display of art\, while on May 12\, IU Jacobs School of Music students working on the Conserve Bloomington project introduced their musical composition of nature sounds recorded in and around Bloomington\, IN. The music has been developed in conjunction with an innovation grant from Jacobs School of Music.

Her paintings have been highlighted in numerous art shows\, exhibits\, and art websites. Her work has been featured in articles and blogs including a 2017 profile in Audubon.org\, “How to Go From Watching Birds to Drawing Them: Sketching while outdoors or even at home will broaden your birding skill set and add a whole new dimension to the hobby.” \nHer works have been published widely and exhibited all over the US and overseas. In 2016\, she was awarded the Donald and Virginia Eckelberry Endowment from the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University for a six-month trip to the island of Hispaniola to illustrate 31 endemic bird species. A collection of paintings from the trip were published by INICIA in the book Alas & Colores. \nAlex grew up in Indiana and began painting and studying birds at young age. She explains\, “Birds have always been my mild obsession. In 5th grade\, I delivered my career project on ornithology sitting in a giant nest I’d built from willow sticks. I held a pair of binoculars in my sixth grade yearbook picture.” She graduated from Brigham Young University-Idaho with a degree in integrated studio art and an emphasis in scientific illustration. \nTo register\, click the following: \n Direct link to register for the Alex Warnick workshop \n(Click here if you don’t see the link above) \nCURRENT ARTISTS FOR CLIMATE AWARENESS MEMBERS RECEIVE A $20 DISCOUNT on the workshop.

Majestic saguaro cacti\, Joshua trees\, and giant sequoia trees are challenged by unusually dry and hot conditions\, increased carbon dioxide\, and invasive plants. Several desert bird species are endangered. \nIn this day-long watercolor workshop\, you will learn how to paint a sunlit desert landscape using a very limited set of colors along with special wet-in-wet and layering techniques. Through the activities you will explore various watercolor properties and how to manipulate them. As you paint\, you will learn how humans are restoring and preserving these important areas of our world and how you can help. \nThe class will be taught both in-person and via Zoom. It is aimed at serving those who are comfortable with beginning watercolor techniques as well as more experienced painters who are interested in expanding their approaches to color management and brushwork. Participants will receive a list of the recommended paints\, along with purchasing options. All participants will provide their own painting supplies (brushes\, palette\, etc.). \nInstructors Nancy Metz and Carol Rhodes will deliver this workshop. \nSee all Ivy Tech CLL classes and register now \nDirect Link to register for “Painting Deserts” workshop \n\nArtists for Climate Awareness is pleased to offer this workshop as part of its series to help artists learn how to use art as a way to bring social awareness to conservation efforts in your communities.\nAs such\, a portion of the workshop fee will go toward a Contributors membership in Artists for Climate Awareness.\n Each participant will be automatically considered a member of Artists for Climate Awareness at the Contributor’s level (equivalent to $35) for one year\, unless declined.
