Monday, February 11, 10AM-3:30PM
Instructor: Elizabeth Greaf
In this introduction to seeing as an artist sees, you will learn to recreate 3-dimensional scenes into 2-dimensional images on paper. Drawing outlines of forms to achieve the right shapes, placement and proportion, you will then learn to use light and dark shades to create more realistic impressions of shape and distance. The instructor will demonstrate techniques and work with each student to understand what to look for in order to "See as an Artist Sees," and how to translate it into your artwork.
Cost: $60 EEA members / $90 nonmembers

A "Back to the 30's" Cocktail Party featuring Vince Giordano & the Nighthawks. Grammy award-winning, Smithtown native, Vince Giordano won his award for HBO's "Boardwalk Empire." So the evening's 1930's theme is doubly apt: The Suffolk Theater first opened in 1933 in the post-Prohibition era. The evening will feature dancing, sumptuous food, signature cocktails, costumed characters, video entertainment and many more surprises.
Everyone receives two complimentary cocktails.
Tickets are $125 per person.
