I remember trying to learn it in middle school and being totally confused. I don't want this for my students who aren't even in middle school yet! Then I remembered Notan. I had seen an article in one of my trade magazines years ago. Well, when cleaning off my drafting table in the studio, I stumbled upon the article. I had ripped it out and stuck it in a pile "for someday".<br />
<br />
Someday is here! We've had a string of snowy/icy/rainy days which means I'm stuck at home. Perfect. I'm going to play around with Notan. Long story short, I'm addicted and will be teaching my students this method. Especially by using the 'expand a square' practice shown here.<br />

As I look around I am constantly reminded of the force of nature on the world around us. I started photographing images of this last year. Images of weeds taking over fences, trees and walls. Peeling paint damaged on walls from<br />
years of weathering and all kinds of deteriorated objects due to water and sun. <br />
<br />
Finally, I felt like doing something with some of my images. A friend of mine showed me an accordion book she was working on and a new binding technique she learned of from<a href="http://www.catherineandersonstudio.com/"> Catherine Anderson</a>. Using obliterated photos I tinted as a background, my accordion book came together. The idea of recycling old photos as the base for my book resonated with me and my accordion book was born.<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Today was a gorgeous day, so I took the opportunity to visit the High Line in the city. The High Line opened in 1934 to carry goods into the meat packing district. It closed in 1980 and was saved from demolition by Peter Obletz, a Chelsea resident. In 1999 the Friends of the High Line was formed and through private funding and some fabulous dedicated individuals, the first section of this public space opened in 2009. </span><br />

This year we decided to have lunch and take a class with <a href="http://www.donnadowney.com/">Donna Downey</a> at the <a href="http://www.theinkpadnyc.com/">Ink Pad</a>. Just like last year, it was Santacon, but instead of showing you a bunch of Santa clad celebrants, I'm showing you a lovely bunch of carolers who greeted us in Grand Central.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We were off, first stop lunch at <a href="http://commercerestaurant.com/">Commerce</a> in the West Village. On the way we found the cutest little bakery called <a href="http://www.milkandcookiesbakery.com/">milk and cookies</a>. It was too soon for snacks, but I picked up a magic cookie bar for later.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Months later, the day arrived. I stepped into the rental car and got the GPS programmed, I started my 2 1/2 hour journey northeast. I thought what a lovely day to celebrate a beautiful soul. (It was sunny and in the low 70's)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My favorite, were the 'hearts to go'. I just love the idea of carrying a little bit of love around with you. It's like having a piece of someone wherever you go.</span><br />

He wants people to see what a real working studio looks like on any given day. I love this idea and wanted to join the party.<br />
<br />
Here is the studio where I live:<br />
My studio is in the basement of my house. You enter through the garage. I painted this wall with chalkboard paint 2 days ago. I need to wait one more day before I can season it and write on it. I'm so excited to do this!!<br />

The bench is an old apothecary bench that was in my grandfather's and then my father's pharmacy. I spent lots of time sitting on this bench as a kid, hanging at my Dad's store. It fits perfectly here. Enter through the little green door....<br />
<br />
Here is the view! Overwhelming huh? Right now it is in a transition stage. I'm transitioning from summer (where I can just paint till my heart's content) to fall (where I need to get serious and start teaching classes again). I've spent this week organizing and purging. It may not look that way, but trust me! I love the tables and chairs I have in here. I can move everything around into all kinds of configurations.<br />

I know it looks like a lot of 'stuff' and there is! I teach in many different venues, so organization is key! <br />

This is one of my bookshelves filled mostly with books about artists. I use them to teach my Great Artists unit at a pre-school and also for inspiration. I love teaching pre-schoolers about art. I've been doing it for 13 years now. In the bottom left hand corner of the photo you can see my flat files. On top of my flat files I have my laptop, printer and a bunch of junk that I need to go through. Mostly papers I've gotten in the mail that I felt I needed to keep for one reason or another. The wall is filled with original art from artists whose work I admire.<br />

This little bookshelf, built by my brother, is tucked in a corner. It stores all the picture books I use to teach an enrichment class at the pre-school. The illustrations in them astound me! I love picture books. I could look at them for hours and sometimes, I do!<br />

This is my little corner. I have everything within arms reach. Currently, I'm tossing things there that need to be filed. Behind my chair are storage bins filled with paints, sorted by color. To the right of my chair are all my pens, markers and colored pencils I use in journaling. To the left are my brushes, pencils and ephemera used in my mixed media work. You can see the edge of one of my 3 easels in the left hand side of the photo.<br />

I also have these great pull out drawers that are filled with all kinds of supplies. I mean really, who needs this much tape? I do get supplies donated, which I have a hard time saying 'NO' to.<br />
<br />
There is also a flat screen TV mounted on the wall, another storage area for reference books and magazines and a powder room. <br />

Thanks for taking this brief tour of my studio. In closing I'd just like to share a piece I picked up this summer in Newport...<br />

Of course when Betti and I get together, we don't JUST have coffee, we somehow end up squeezing in SOME kind of ART TIME together!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We were headed to J Patisserie for some coffee and noshes and stopped in at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Reverol-Co-Contemporary-Art/121787419542">Reverol & Company - Contemporary Art Gallery</a> to see a wonderful artist's work. The exhibit, <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 20px;">R.E.D by abstract expressionist artist: Rafael Jaen, was in its last few days of showing and I'm so glad we stopped in. I found his work intriguing. I'm not sure why. I was drawn to it.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Faberge sponsored a Big Egg Hunt in NYC beginning on April 1st. There were 206 eggs hidden throughout the city. Using social media (facebook, twitter, instagram), clues were given and the hunt was on. People have been posting their finds on instagram and twitter and after seeing some of the pics, I knew I had to go see them in person. The eggs were created by designers and artists and are for sale <a href="http://thebigegghunt.org/eggs/" target="_blank">here</a>. Yesterday, April 18, 2014 they were all gathered and nested at Rockefeller Plaza. Since my birdies were home in our nest, we took a trip in to see them. Here are some of our favorites.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Being able to view such fun art is one of the many reasons I love living so close to this city. 20 minute train ride and we are there, experiencing such beauty! If you get a chance check them out...there are 206 eggs. What a fun way to spend a couple of hours. For more info check out <a href="http://thebigegghunt.org/">thebigegghunt.org</a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What is a girl to do when school is on break and there are no classes to teach? Play catch up on projects lying around the studio!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My first project was inspired by <a href="http://www.carlasonheim.com/" target="_blank">Carla Sonheim</a>'s <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Drawing-Painting-Imaginary-Animals-Mixed-Media/dp/1592538053/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1397583990&sr=1-1&keywords=drawing+and+painting+imaginary+animals" target="_blank">Drawing and Painting Imaginary Animals</a>. I started this project back in October and finished it yesterday. I created the junk mail book using the directions found in Carla's book. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The idea is to make a book so that each drawing interacts with the next.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It seems like I made this book so long ago. First it was just an idea <a href="http://artjournaler.typepad.com/pomegranatesandpaper/2013/08/countdown-to-the-art-of-food.html" target="_blank">Loretta (here's a link to more info about this class)</a> and I were tossing around, then it became a class we are co-teaching. There are so many ways this food memoir can be made. One could create a 'favorite take-out menu' book, a 'wines I can't live without' book, or 'menus only a child can love' type of book. How about a 'special family recipes for the bride to be' book? The more I think about it, it DOES seem like there are endless possibilities. Whatever your preference, it can be made into a wonderful book.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">NOTE: YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE AN ARTIST OR A WRITER TO MAKE A BOOK UNIQUE TO YOU. IF YOU CAN CUT AND PASTE, YOU CAN DO THIS CLASS.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Our class will involve some writing, some painting, some collage and shhhhhh....don't tell anyone, but samples of food too! We also have a terrific kit put together to minimize dragging a suitcase of supplies to class! From me, you will create backgrounds, learn some fun paper engineering and bookbinding. Loretta will teach us some writing prompts and exercises. So join Loretta and I as we spend two great days together in <a href="http://www.art-is-you.com/mysitecaddy/site3/lorettabenedettomarvelandkathleennesi-theartoffood-proustianremembrancesofeating.htm" target="_blank">Stamford, CT at ART-IS...YOU art retreat</a> COME...have some fun with us!

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The story of my kitchen table and how it became a domino effect. It all started when someone used the wrong cleaner on my hand painted table and the finish became all gummy. As time went on, it got worse. I knew something had to be done about it. I thought about using acetone or a furniture re-finisher on the tabletop. The idea of all the mess and sanding was overwhelming.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">One day I was talking to my friend Karol and she told me how her husband had a milk crate of handmade, handpainted mexican tiles in their garage. They would be perfect for the table top and would match the ones on my windowsill over the kitchen sink.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">They were perfect except for the color. They were full of blues and yellows, none of which are in my kitchen. I loved the idea of a tiled tabletop, so I proceeded to see if they would work. After sorting through and cleaning them, it turned out there were just enough with a few to spare! It was meant to be! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Karol came to help and after researching YouTube and googling 'how to tile'. We proceeded with the project.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">First I painted the table legs black to match my chairs and applied a cement board to the top of the table. It turns out it was the exact size of my table, so I didn't have to worry about cutting it.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This past Saturday, Mrs. Pom called me and said, 'Let's go to Wave Hill and do some plein aire." "OK!" was my reply, afterall, I had a couple of hours with nothing to do (never mind all the graduation parties that were scheduled for the weekend). Well, I did not know how beautiful Wave Hill is. I have never been there and to this day cannot fathom why. It is gorgeous! Flowers, trees, birds, bugs, beautiful vistas of the Hudson...How is it I never knew this gem was here? Well, I did more photography than painting...enjoy!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I made two new pillow covers today. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The old ones did not match, but they were very nice and down filled. I hated to throw them out. Solution...new pillow covers so downstairs to the stash I went. Of course, I had something that would suffice, a navy polka dot pattern. Two envelope pillow covers made in two hours. Voila!</span></div>

I've had problems with my internet connection. I haven't been able to connect wirelessly for a few days. My hubby's computer is hardwired to the router and to get a tech to straighten every thing out...well, all i can say is i love technology while hating it! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We are at their mercy. After quite a few phone calls and zapping this and that, trying one thing and another, it was determined we needed a new modem/router. Now of course, they tried to tell me I needed the "new" faster, better connection at an additional $30/month. I told them no thank you. I was perfectly fine with the speed of the old connection I JUST WANT TO CONNECT!!! After another two phone calls it was determined I needed a new modem/router (this is the 3rd one for us) and the 'new' faster, better connection will be free for us for two years! Imagine that? Funny.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am now on the 'new' connection with the new modem/router. Time will tell if it is truly better. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In the meantime, I have lots of things going on in the studio. Had a nice visit with my best friend and goddaughter yesterday who helped me add finishing touches to the overhaul I'm giving my 3 season porch. I will post about that later with pics.</span><br />

The school year is coming to a close and it's time for me to put all the portfolios together showcasing the children's' work. This time of year is bittersweet for me. Most of the pre-k children are moving up and out of our school to various kindergarten classes. A handful will stay and continue at the school. <br />
But it is so nice to look back at the projects and see what was a hit and what was a miss. <br />
<br />
I love to look at one child's body of work and see how much they've grown and improved since September. I love to look at all the self portraits and see if I can guess who it is without looking at the name. I gather up the Matisse patterned hands that the pre-k so diligently worked on and marvel at their ability at such a young age. So another year comes to an end. I have one more lesson next month with the K-1 class and I'll send them home with their work, give them a hug and hope that in a small way I've made art fun while introducing them to the wonderful world of art history. kathy nhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18339307774388248530noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221386243291200080.post-20935505328496782552013-04-10T18:59:00.001-07:002013-04-10T19:01:47.009-07:00Blogging challenge day 9 - day In picsSubbing at school <br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I dodged a bullet. That's what my hand surgeon said. It turns out I don't need surgery on my hand. He said it happens to a small percentage of people. My carpal tunnel seems to have subsided. Of course, if it flares up again then I'll just go in and have the surgery, but for now NO SURGERY FOR ME!! YaY!! So when your doctor tells you to go live your life, have fun and enjoy, that's exactly what I'm going to do! First up...a new painting. </span></div>
