ART CRITICISM IN THE DIGITAL AGE PANEL DISCUSSION THIS SATURDAY AT ASL DENVER 1-4PM

The Art Students League of Denver will host a special panel discussion about the future of art criticism as part of their Visiting Artist Series this Saturday, September 15th from 1-4 p.m.

Changes in print media have created a new paradigm where traditional avenues of discourse by professional art critics may be in danger. This leaves a question unanswered: Will the emergence of art blogs and digital art publications provide an informed discussion about contemporary art?

Panelists for the discussion are national art critic Leanne Goebbel, artist and writer Theresa Anderson and Plus Gallery owner Ivar Zeile.  The three will discuss the fast changing world of art criticism in print and digital media. Following the panel discussion seminar participants will meet in small groups to respond to the questions, briefly present their ideas to the group, then hear closing comments from the panel.

We are not sure if there is still space available for the panel discussion that day, but the cost is $15 for ASLD members, $25 for nonmembers.  Please inquire with the ASL if interested.

Sunday, February 19, 2012 - 9am - 4pm Part 2

Plus Gallery artist Bill Amundson delivers a Master Class workshop for the Art Students League Denver over two days in February. This drawing workshop will explore ideas: where they come from, how to get them, and what to do with them. Artists have always drawn inspiration and motivation from a wide variety of sources?current events, politics, art history, celebrity gossip, consumerism, interstate travel and cultural taboos. Together we will examine the process of gathering ideas from disparate sources and combining them with one?s own thoughts, perspective, and personal style. With demonstrations, discussions, and review of participants? previous work, we?ll explore drawing in a wide variety of media, including graphite, colored pencil, marker, and collage to find new sources of inspiration and new ways to express your unique vision.
