General Meetings
The March 22nd General Meeting will feature Andrew Jagels speaking on Illuminating the art of contrast: Creating focus with light and color.
Join Andrew for a visually rich journey into the hidden power of contrast in art — tracing its magic from the glow of historic stained glass to the deep shadows of chiaroscuro and the bold palettes of contemporary film. Through examples drawn from painting, glasswork, and cinematography, he reveals how artists quietly guide your eye, shape your emotional response, and transform ordinary images into compelling visual experiences.
Explore how light, color, and value become storytelling tools in the hands of a skilled creator. Learn the surprising ways value shifts, color tension, and stark contrast shape visual impact, guide attention, and evoke feeling. Walk away with a refreshed way of seeing the world — and a deeper understanding of how value, color, and light can elevate your own creative work, no matter your medium.
Please contact the VPs to suggest a topic for later in the year.
