ACADEMYACADEMY ART MUSEUM MAGAZINE—SPRING 2017

2

Play is something that unites artists and children. Writers have often remarked on a certain childlike playfulness that survives into adulthood in the greatest of artists. Notably, Picasso and Matisse took inspiration from children’s art, and put into practice idea that “genius is nothing other than the ability to retrieve childhood at will.” But in our society, the space for children to engage in the playful experimentation of art, whether at school or at home, is not guaranteed. Cultural institutions often have to step in to supplement or provide

the only “space for art” that many children will experience.

As I have walked through the halls, galleries and classrooms of the Academy Art Museum for the past four months, I have been simply astonished at the extent of our educational offerings for children of all ages. Recently, I witnessed our Mini Masters program filled to the brim with eager two and four year olds; groups of students from the St. Michael’s Middle School, Stevensville Middle School, Chesapeake Christian School, Sts. Peter and Paul, Building African-American Minds (BAAM); and two groups of Home Schoolers. This was just one week! What I’ve come to realize is that with a small but highly creative staff, we are effectively serving as the provider of supplemental arts education for public and private schools for the entire Mid-Shore community.

My purpose in this letter is to thank all of you for your generous contributions to the AAM’s Annual Appeal. Your gifts support all of our offerings and make possible the Museum’s future. We have exciting plans in place for enhancing our first-rate exhibitions, developing an Artist-in-Residence program, increasing our educational partnerships and collaborations with schools and non-profits, launching a new website, the Art @ Noon Lecture Series and much more. We will celebrate our 60th Anniversary in 2018 and want everyone to join the party—stay tuned! To kick-start that celebration, I am pleased to announce that we will bring back the Craft Show this year. I hope that you will welcome the return of the Craft Show and join us to toast its own 20th Anniversary this fall.

Amidst my own wonder and excitement about the future of the Museum, I return again and again to the question of where we find the space for art in our lives. Your contributions to the AAM directly ensure safe, productive and inspiring “spaces for art” in the lives of children in our community. The experience of playful learning through art in childhood becomes the groundwork of creativity in the mind of the adult. We harbor that playfulness in our own adult lives and practices, especially if we were lucky enough to grow up in an environment that allowed us to value it as children. The Academy Art Museum nurtures and protects that value for our community, thanks to you.

IN THE GALLERIESLederer Gallery

The exhibition FABRICation is making its way around the country, coming to the Academy Art Museum by way of Art Museum of West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV. It will continue on to Bowling Green State University, Fine Arts

Center Gallery, Bowling Green, OH.

Co-curated by Reni Gower, professor in the Painting and Printmaking Department at Virginia Commonwealth University and Kristy Deetz, professor in the Art Discipline at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, FABRICation features seven artists (Erin Castellan, Kristy Deetz, Virginia Derryberry, Reni Gower, Rachel Hayes, Susan Iverson and Natalie Smith) who incorporate a textile sensibility in their artwork through elements of fabric and fabrication.

Gower states, “The exhibition was inspired by a rich array of historical textiles from drapery to quilt. As such, the complex, multi-part works contrast our culture’s rampant media consumption with the redemptive nuance of slow work wrought by hand. Individual works range from delicate illusions to layered constructions to architectural interventions. Using a variety of materials that range from oil and acrylic paint, yarn, vintage clothing, aluminum screens, wool, silk, plastic, thread, vinyl, burlap, rug-hold, glass, recycled objects, and found fabrics, the artists interweave sensory pleasure with repetitive process to invoke introspection and reflection.”

Funding for FABRICation was made possible in part by Virginia Commonwealth University, VCUarts, and the Painting and Printmaking Department (ESWA.org).

Parts and Labor: A Survey Exhibition of Print and Collage Works

by Steven Ford

Healy Gallery

April 22–July 9, 2017Members' Reception and Meet the Artists: Friday, April 21, 5:30–7 p.m.Steven Ford (1964) was born in Lafayette, IN. He studied glass and painting at Washington University in St. Louis, MO, and received a BFA in painting and printmaking at Tyler School of Art, Philadelphia in 1986. His prints have been exhibited in the Cleveland Museum of Art’s Fresh Prints, 1990s to Now in 2015 and at the International Print Center, New York in 2009 and 2010. A solo exhibition of his prints was mounted at JAGR Projects, Philadelphia in 2010. His work was included in Woodmere Art Museum’s Flirting with Abstraction in 2010. His prints are in the collections of the Arkansas Art Center, Cleveland Museum of Art, Detroit Art Institute, Ballinglen Arts Foundation, Free Library of Philadelphia, Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, and the Woodmere Art Museum.

Ford layers colors via simply carved linocut blocks and collagraph plates. The linocut blocks are often re-inked and reprinted with the paper shifted to create layering and cross hatched patterns. The collagraph plates print “real” textures from items such as popsicle sticks and lathe from old plaster walls. Ford works quickly, rolling ink onto the blocks and cranking them through

an etching press. At times the thin, strong Asian papers are folded like an accordion bellows and printed, then flattened and printed some more.

Steven Ford is represented by Dolan/Maxwell Gallery, Philadelphia. After the Academy Art Museum the exhibition will travel to the Fuller Craft Museum in Brockton, MA. The Academy Art Museum is presenting Steven Ford’s first solo museum exhibition in the U.S.

Shelley RobzenVolo #6, 2012Carrara White Marble

Shelley Robzen, originally from Pennsylvania, studied Fine Arts at Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY where she received her BFA. in sculpture in 1974. After graduation she moved to Pietrasanta, Italy, an international center for sculptors who work in marble and bronze. She has been living and working there ever since. She recalls the amazing scene she witnessed on the first day she arrived in Pietrasanta: a couple of white oxen pulling a great wooden cart on top of which was strapped a full-scale copy of Michelangelo’s Pietà.

She came to Pietrasanta determined to learn everything she could about marble. She says, “There was a magical atmosphere in Pietrasanta at that time (1974) where you could actually feel sculpture in the air. Everything that supported sculpture was there—marble, marble studios, foundries, master artisans, mold makers, craters and tool shops. Immediately, I felt at home.”Robzen’s sculpture is amazing in its purity and its celebration of beauty and craftsmanship. She has a sophisticated sense of form, volume and line. Her sculptures are sensual and sensitive. They are pared down to an essential simplicity as her artist statement reads, “Simplicity of line seeking the purity of form is the essence of my sculpture.”

Robzen was invited to become a member of the Royal British Society of Sculptors in 2004. This was an honor she received when the Society amended their constitution allowing prominent international sculptors full membership.

Her sculpture is included in private collections in the United States, Italy, France, England, Canada, Norway, Hong Kong, Israel and Japan. Robzen is represented by Carla Massoni Gallery. The Academy Art Museum is presenting her marble and bronze sculpture in her first solo museum exhibition in the U.S.

Todd Forsgren: Birdwatcher and EcologistApril 22–May 30, 2017Todd R. Forsgren uses photography to examine themes of ecology, environmentalism, and perceptions of landscape while striving to strike a balance between art history and natural history. To do so, Forsgren uses a range of photographic approaches, from documentary strategies to experimental techniques. His work has been shown at numerous venues and has been featured in National Geographic, Nature, and TIME’s Lightbox, to name a few.

His Ornithological Photographs depict birds that have been caught in mist nets as part of scientific surveys and ornithological research. Today, many bird-watchers share a similar goal with the famous bird painter, John James Audubon: to record every species in the country on their personal “life lists.” Forsgren says, “My photographs are reflections of this need personally to see, observe, and capture diversity.”

Forsgren studied biology and visual arts at Bowdoin College and photography at School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and J.E. Purkyně University in the Czech Republic. He was an artist-in-residence in Oregon, Connecticut, and in Annapolis and was a Fulbright Fellow in Mongolia. Forsgren published his book Ornithologial Photographs, designed in a “field guide” style, in 2015. He resides in Alexandria, VA.

Nanny Trippe has had a love for photography since a young age. What began as recording of pets and nature developed into a love of composition. “When composition, light and shadow, color and texture come into balance, it is an exciting thing. I love to eye something—be it a building, a tree or a moment in time—that encompasses all these elements.” Nanny has studied and created photographs through high school at St. Timothy’s School in Baltimore, and next at Denison University in Ohio and Richmond College in London, England. She joined the Tidewater Studios in 2009 and has exhibited in Lexington, VA, as well as in regional art shows. In 2010, she and painter Don Hilderbrandt opened Trippe-Hilderbrandt Studios on Harrison Street in Easton. She has won numerous awards. Trippe is a many-generations native of the Eastern Shore and has a true love for the area and capturing its uniqueness.

The Myth Makers in Maryland: The Mighty MerganserContinuingArtists Donna Dodson and Andy Moerlein (aka the Myth Makers) built one of their iconic sapling sculptures on the Museum’s grounds. Literally speaking, the bird sculpture is based on the Hooded Merganser, a bird which is common in Maryland. Figuratively, however, the artists’ intent is to create a bird sculpture which represents a proud monument to independent thinking and bravery, referencing Eastern Shore native Frederick Douglass, who said, “I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence.” The Mighty Merganser bird sculpture was constructed with the help of many volunteers and stands over 25 feet high and fills a generous space in the Museum’s front yard. Based in Boston, the Myth Makers have worked in Peru, Switzerland, Canada and China. They are known for their collaborations on public art projects, monumental snow carving, and fire sculpture performances.

The collaboration between Andy Moerlein and Donna Dodson is born from a mutual love of the wild. Moerlein takes inspiration from events in the natural world that leave visual marks which strike a narrative chord in the artist. Dodson takes inspiration from the mysterious nature of animals that spark her imagination. The sculptor husband-and-wife team lives outside Boston, MA.

Jacob Kainen:Washington ColoristThrough February 26, 2017

Jacob Kainen (1909–2001) was for several decades one of the most internationally-respected of Washington artists. Born in Connecticut, Jacob Kainen moved with his Russian parents to New York in 1918 where, in association with a score of now famous painters who were his friends—including Milton Avery, Stuart Davis, Arshile Gorky, John Graham, and David Smith— Kainen developed as an artist. Kainen’s early artistic development coincided with the maturation of American abstract painting, and while his early work followed a direction more attuned to German expressionism, his artistic development still owed much to concepts shared by this group of daring New York painters.

The Academy Art Museum presents paintings and prints that reveal Kainen’s gradual shift from figural to abstract forms of one of Washington’s foremost twentieth-century artists. Part of the artwork is on loan from The Jacob Kainen Art Trust while most of the paintings and prints are recent acquisitions to the Academy Art Museum’s Permanent Collection.

The Washington PortfolioThrough February 26, 2017

The Washington Portfolio exhibition of 10 large prints provides a context to the artist Jacob Kainen and his contemporaries working in Washington, DC in the 1990s. David Adamson Gallery printed the edition of 50 in 1994. Artists Rob Evans, Jacob Kainen, Kevin MacDonald, Tom Nakashima, William Newman, Robin Rose, Renee Stout and Andrea Way, along with photographers William Christenberry and Joyce Tenneson, were invited to work on the computer in Adamson’s shop. The set marked the debut of David Adamson’s first portfolio of artist-made, limited-edition Iris art prints. Donald Saff, founder of the famous Graphicstudio print workshop in Florida, and head of Saff Tech Arts workshop in Oxford, MD, agrees. “This show is a tour de force,” he said, after stopping in at the gallery. “Basically, David came up with another kind of brush, and you don’t come across this very often.”

Recent AcquisitionsAt the December 15, 2016 Meeting of the Board of Trustees, the following artworks were added to the Permanent Collection at the recommendation of the Permanent Collection Committee.

The Board accepted the acquisition by purchase of The Caprichos, etchings and aquatints, 2013–16, by Emily Lombardo. It is a suite of 80 etchings, plus frontispiece (states I and II), numbering 8 in an edition of 12. The Caprichos by Emily Lombardo are in direct conversation and

an homage to Francisco Goya’s Los Caprichos, 1799. Both reveal the dark underbelly of cultural movements which ultimately serve to divide society across economic, racial, political, religious, and gender lines. This edition was published by Childs Gallery, Boston, and printed at The Center for Contemporary Printmaking (Norwalk, CT) by printer Paul DeRuvo. The series will go on exhibit in the Fall of 2017.

The Board accepted Morning Mist (2016) by artist Sheryl Southwick, a hand-colored paper collage is a “Donation to the Academy Art Museum’s Permanent Collection from the Board of Trustees and Staff in grateful recognition of the leadership of Dennis McFadden, Director, 2015–16.”

The remaining lectures on the 2016–2017 schedule include:

Friday, March 31, 2017 at 6p.m. VLEC9806-03

John WilmerdingChristopher Binyon Sarofim Professor of American Art at Princeton University

Frederic Church's Maine LandscapesMr. Wilmerding will concentrate on the two areas Church painted in Maine: Mount Desert and Mount Katahdin.

His presentation will touch on the major factors stimulating his visits: the example of Fitz Henry Lane, his mentor Tomas Cole’s trip to Maine, and Thoreau’s writings about Mt. Katahdin and will examine three major phases seen in his painting: art history, national history, and personal history.

Friday, April 28, 2017 at 6p.m. VLEC9807-03

Bruce RagsdaleFellow, Georgian Papers ProgrammeThe Farmers’ George: Washington, the King, and the Agricultural Landscape

Inspired by the British literature of agricultural improvement, George Washington and King George III simultaneously undertook experimental agricultural projects that they hoped would

serve as a model for the farmers of their respective nations. As they engaged in the practical work of crop rotations and integrated livestock management, Washington and the king also shared a determination to design farms that would reflect the Enlightenment ideals of the

picturesque. The order and neatness of their farms were visible reflections of the rational principles of scientific agriculture and demonstrated their own learning and expert management. Drawing on documents in the Royal

Collections and on Washington’s own surveys of his farms, this lecture will explore how these two national leaders embodied the ideals of agricultural innovation

shared by wealthy landowners on both sides of the Atlantic.

PHOTOGRAPHY & CULTURE20th/21st Century Photographs that Changed the World

Presented by Steve Dembo

Steve Dembo received his B.A. degree from Towson University and an M.F.A and a College Teaching of Art Certificate from the Maryland Institute College of Art. He is an adjunct professor of photography at CCBC.

A good photograph makes a point. A great one serves as a statement about life, society and culture. This course is a survey of the history of photography in the 20th/21st century and its impact on society. We will see how photography has been instrumental in advancing science and how it has affected our views of warfare, government, welfare, and much more. We will look at many of these great “iconic” photographs and discuss what has made them so meaningful. Students, who wish, will have the opportunity to bring in a photograph that has impacted their life and share with the class why. In our last class we will discuss where photography (or its replacement?) is headed in the current digital, distributive, information age.

MAGNIFICIENT MOVIE MUSICIn the first part of this series, we take an in-depth look at some relationships between film directors and composers, and consider how this affects the final production. Throughout the history of film music there have been some great composer/director movie music “marriages”: Spielberg and Williams, Leone and Morricone, Burton and Elfman, to name but a few. But does a director really need to build such a partnership to make great films? Is it better to work with many composers throughout out a career, or to focus on melding a long-term vision with one or two? Can a director ever acknowledge that his composer has actually saved the movie, and can two heavyweights even work together for long before they start seriously brawling in public? We’ll have fun digging into back-stories and gossip, while enjoying the fruits of some fabulous music and film collaborations!

DANGEROUS MUSICIf your music causes a riot, that could be a compliment. But a revolution? Music is dangerous stuff! From Plato through Stalin to the dear old BBC and beyond, governments, institutions and individuals have sought to silence works they considered subversive. Composers as varied as Mozart, Stravinsky and Cole Porter have found themselves the objects of outrage and censorship. Too political, too sensuous, too effeminate, too crude, too nationalistic, too chaotic, just plain evil! Nowadays, it’s hard to understand what all the fuss was about, but throughout history composers and musicians have been censored at best or executed at worst for producing the “wrong” kind of music. Even abstract art music without text has been viewed with the deepest suspicion. In some parts of the world it still is. How can sounds be seditious and why on earth should we care?

MAGNIFICENT MOVIE MUSIC:February 23 Dancing with Many PartnersIn this first session we’ll concentrate on a single director-superstar, William Wyler, who made some of the most magnificent films in the Hollywood canon. Wyler worked with many distinguished composers and each brought a different artistic sensibility to his movies. Among this dazzling array of musical talent, some of the most prominent are Max Steiner, Miklos Rosza and Aaron Copland. How did Rosza conceive his mighty score for Wyler’s Ben-Hur and what unique qualities did Aaron Copland bring to his exquisite and searing music for The Heiress?

Films discussed include: The Best Year of Our Lives, The Heiress, and Ben-Hur.

March 2 A Marriage of VisionsWe’ll explore two of Hollywood’s greatest partnerships, Alfred Hitchcock and Bernard Hermann, and Steven Spielberg and John Williams. Spielberg and Williams are still going strong and each expresses profound gratitude and friendship for the other, recognizing the extraordinary legacy their collaborations have bequeathed to the world. In stark contrast, Hitchcock and Hermann’s relationship broke up acrimoniously, under great pressure from the studios, but not before they created such iconic films together as Vertigo, The Man Who Knew Too Much, North by Northwest and, of course, Psycho.

Films discussed include: Vertigo, North By Northwest, Catch Me If You Can and E.T., plus we revisit previously-featured films Psycho and Jaws in greater depth.

DANGEROUS MUSIC March 9 A Night at the Opera—CENSOREDDid the passion of Gluck’s operas cause the French Revolution? Why was Mozart’s delightful “The Marriage of Figaro” considered almost treasonous by Austrian aristocracy? Is “Mack the Knife” an aria celebrating murder? Prudish Pope Clement XI actually banned public opera altogether, claiming it promoted lascivious behavior. Who knew? Bring your smelling salts as we enjoy some seriously dangerous entertainment at the opera house!

March 16 Performance and ProtestIn Paris, a decent riot meant your work was a success! We’ll travel back to glorious 1913 Paris when audiences yelled, jeered, and duked it out at the premier of Stravinsky’s revolutionary “Rite of Spring.” These days we just sit quietly and marvel at its originality. Meanwhile, performances of the beautiful “Finlandia” by Finnish composer Sibelius were outlawed by the conquering Russians. Only a few years later in Stalin’s USSR, Shostakovich risked persecution and exile every time he premiered a new symphony. Among the many questions we ask: can abstract music contain secret codes, have audiences changed, and how can intangible notes be considered threatening? Copyright Rachel Franklin 2016

NATIONAL MUSEUM OF AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORYDate: TBD VTRI186-02

The National Museum of African American History and Culture is the only national museum devoted exclusively to the documentation of African American life, history, and culture. It was established by Act of Congress in

2003, following decades of efforts to promote and highlight the contributions of African Americans. To date, the Museum has collected more than 36,000 artifacts and nearly 100,000 individuals have become charter members. The

Museum opened to the public on September 24, 2016 as the 19th and newest museum of the Smithsonian Institution.

RENWICK GALLERYVoulkos: The Breakthrough YearsDate: Wednesday, April 12Cost: $55 Members, $66 Non-members VTRI187-04

Voulkos: The Breakthrough Years, is the first exhibition to focus on the early career of Peter Voulkos, from 1953–1968. While trained as a traditional potter, Voulkos’ radical methods and ideas during this period opened up the possibilities for ceramics in ways that are still being felt today.

Voulkos defied mid-century craft dictums of proper technique and form, completely re-invented his medium. He combined wheel throwing with slab-building, traditional glazes with epoxy paint, figuration with abstraction, and made huge ceramic structures with complex internal engineering. The exhibition will feature approximately 35 examples from this crucial body of early work, most of which have not been exhibited on the East Coast for four decades. Also included will be two of the artist’s rarely seen works in oil on canvas, which help to demonstrate how Voulkos developed his ideas concurrently in painting, sculpture, and pottery.

HIRSHHORN MUSEUM AND SCULPTURE GARDENSInfinity Mirrors—Yayoi Kusama RetropsectiveDate: Thursday, April 27Cost: $55 Members, $66 Non-members VTRI188-04

The Hirshhorn’s exhibition is the first to focus on this groundbreaking body of work and will present six of the rooms, the most ever shown together. From peep-show-like chambers to multimedia installations, each of these kaleidoscopic environments offers the chance to step into an illusion of infinite space.

Kusama began using mirrors in 1965 when she produced Infinity Mirror Room—Phalli’s Field, transforming the intense repetition of her earlier two-dimensional works into a perceptual experience. Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors traces the development of Kusama’s iconic installations alongside a selection of her other key artworks. The show highlights the artist’s central themes, such as the celebration life and its aftermath, and aims to reveal the significance of these installations amidst today’s renewed interest in experiential practices and virtual spaces.

Museum’s Student Art Exhibitions WOW Visitors for Over 25 YearsBy Amelia Blades Steward

The atmosphere is electric each spring when hundreds of students, family members and teachers descend upon the galleries at the Museum to view student artwork from the five Mid-Shore counties. The Museum’s annual Mid-Shore Student Art Exhibitions highlight the artistic talents of students in grades K to 12 from Talbot, Caroline, Dorchester, Queen Anne and Kent counties.

Each year, visitors can expect a variety of media, including painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, and printmaking. The Mid-Shore Student Art Exhibitions have been a Museum tradition for over 25 years and are the

largest and most prestigious student art exhibitions on the Eastern Shore. Last year’s exhibitions displayed 872 pieces of art and brought over 1000 visitors to the Museum.

Constance Del Nero, Director of ArtReach & Community Programs at the Museum, comments, “The exhibitions celebrate the students’ creativity, hard work, and diversity of approaches, while bolstering their confidence by allowing them to show their work in a professional venue.” She adds, “The exhibitions also reflect the dedication of our regional arts educators who have inspired the students throughout the school year.”

Tim Goodger of Queen Anne’s County Public Schools comments, “In the classroom, I find that potentially being selected for display in the Academy Art Museum Exhibitions serves as a great motivator, which stimulates the pursuit of excellence among my students. The best part about having students represented in the show is watching them experience having art in a real exhibition, attending an opening in a real gallery, and having friends and family come out to support and celebrate them.” He adds, “This generally new experience not only gives the kids a chance to show their artwork to a relatively large audience, it also gives them exposure to a community of artists and a plethora of artworks that are certain to inspire their own creative growth and development.”

Because of the success of the exhibitions, this year the Museum will host three receptions to better manage the crowds that come to view them. The receptions will be divided by age groups as follows: Grades K through 3 on Monday, March 13, 2017 from 4:30 to 6 p.m.; Grades 4 through 8 on Tuesday, March 14, 2017 from 4:30 to 6 p.m.; and Grades 9 through 12 on Thursday, March 16, 2017 from 5:30 to 7 p.m. (See page 46 for further information.)

POTLIGHTSLocal Art Student Bradley Milligan Gets Professional Start at Museum

For college art student Bradley Milligan of Easton, the Museum Student Art Exhibition provided the first opportunity for him to show his artwork. During his high school years, Milligan received recognition in the exhibitions and in his senior year received first prize for a larger-than-life pencil portrait. He also took figure drawing classes at the Museum and participated in the Museum’s annual Portfolio Night.

This past year, Milligan submitted his work in the Museum’s Members’ Exhibition and was awarded the Ben Franklin Crafts Award at the 2016 Members’ Exhibition for his work, Pile of Dead Horses. The prize, which was awarded by an independent judge, was ironic as it was sponsored by his parents’ business, Ben Franklin Crafts and Framing Center, in Easton. Milligan currently attends Edinboro University in Edinboro, PA, where he is studying painting.

He comments, “Taking part in the Academy Art Museum Exhibitions was my first experience showing my work. It’s an awesome experience and one of the more public things you can do with your work at the Museum. It showed me how to present my work professionally.”

According to Mary Ann Milligan, Bradley’s mother and owner of Ben Franklin Crafts and Framing Center in Easton, who has supported the Student Art Exhibitions the Members’ Exhibition for several years, “We feel that through the school and the Children's Art Program at the Academy, Bradley was able to use this as his first vehicle to share his art with the community.” She adds, “Scott and I feel that supporting the Members’ Exhibition is giving back to the art community that we

care about. It's great to meet all the wonderful artists here.”

In Memory of Judith Stegman Straub

Henry and Jeanne HenkelPorter and Patti Hopkins

Marty Smith

Thank you to those of you who made gifts in memory of Nancy Reybold and Judith Stegman Straub.

Your gestures serve as thoughtful tributes to a very special person.

Nancy Reybold of Easton, MD, passed away surrounded by her family at home on Sunday, December 4, 2016. She was 79 years young. For 20 years, Nancy oversaw the weekly Life Drawing sessions at the Museum. Christopher J. Brownawell, previous Director of the Museum, commented, “Nancy was an active member of Museum’s Exhibition Committee for many years. Along with her husband Bill, she worked tirelessly behind the scenes when the Museum operated with a very small staff to assist us with many exhibition-related projects, including installation.” He adds, “No matter the task, Nancy did it with a smile and eagerness. The Museum benefited greatly from Nancy's long and dedicated service—she is deeply missed.”

Over the years, she received much recognition for her watercolor paintings, including awards from the Baltimore Watercolor Society. Her watercolor paintings have developed from fluid and loosely painted to vibrant abstracts. After moving back to the Eastern Shore in 1989, she quickly established a studio in the Brookletts Building in Easton, MD, which she occupied for the last 25 years. In 2011, Nancy helped found the Main Street Gallery in Cambridge, MD. She was an active member of the Main Street Gallery until her death. Nancy was a member of the Eastern Shore Working Artists Forum for over 20 years.

In MemoriamNancy Reybold Judith Stegman Straub

Judith Stegman Straub (Judy), passed away on Monday, December 19, 2016. She was 75 years old. In 1979, Judy and her husband, Erik, moved from Monkton, MD to Easton to go into the marine construction business. Judy later worked with the Talbot Bank planning their 100th anniversary celebration. Upon Mr. Straub’s retirement, they moved to Florida in 2006, although they kept their home in Talbot County.

As a very active volunteer in Easton, Judy worked with United Fund for several years, the Republican Party and the Academy Art Museum as Membership Chairman and Board Chair. According to previous Museum board members, Judy implemented new bylaws for the Board and was also involved in the first building expansion of the Museum. Joan Cox of Easton, former Board Chair, comments, “In the 1980s, she invited me to serve on the Executive Committee of the Board. Judy was committed to strengthening the Museum’s Board by expanding its membership.”

literary, musical, and performing arts.

From Viewer to DoerMonday, May 15, 6–8 p.m. EADU1028-05 ORThursday, May 18, 2–4 p.m. EADU1029-05 $10Drawing StudioTransform yourself from “viewer” to “doer” by taking part in a special spring workshop. The From Viewer to Doer approach consists of an informal tour/chat about the exhibition(s) on view and the opportunity to work on a related art project. No art experience or “talent” necessary! Projects are designed to get adults thinking, experimenting, and working with different materials and are not formal art lessons. They are designed to spark creativity and to appeal to novices and professional artists alike.

The Museum is offering two new From Viewer to Doer workshops to complement our spring exhibitions, FABRICation: Fiber Art and Parts and Labor: a Survey Exhibition of Print and Collage Works by Steven Ford Contact Constance Del Nero at cdelnero@academyartmuseum.org for additional information.

Art to Go . . .

OUTREACH

The Museum’s Art to Go program is in full swing. Art to Go is a community outreach program designed to enrich the lives of various adult populations who may otherwise receive limited access to the visual arts. Museum educators travel to retirement homes, senior centers, special needs facilities and neighborhood service centers to bring engaging and meaningful art projects to a wide range of adults. It is also possible for participants to visit the Museum and receive a guided tour, followed by a related art project.

The Art to Go program can be tailored to meet the needs of individual organizations. Museum educators develop site-specific curriculum plans to ensure that activity content is relevant and accessible to all participants.

Art to Go is provided free of charge. For more information, please contact Community Programs Associate, Amanda Beck, at abeck@academyartmuseum.org.

Piano & Guitar LessonsInstructor: Raymond RemeshPLEASE CONTACT INSTRUCTOR FOR INFORMATION OR TO SCHEDULE LESSONS.(410) 829-0335Whether your goal is to audition for a conservatory, lead your family in song during holidays or learn to play the music you love, a personalized music education is one of the most rewarding and enduring investments a person can make for themselves or their child.

The approach will vary according to the student's objectives and interests, but generally revolves around 3 things:

1. Guiding students through a progressive regimen of warmups and technical exercises to expand the sounds they can get from their instrument.

2. Coaching students through the preparation of repertoire that challenges and shows off their skills.

3. Teaching students to get the most out of their practice sessions by utilizing technology and research into the science of learning.

Raymond Remesch is a musician, recording engineer and music educator. After graduating a Linehan Artist Scholar with a B.A. in Music Education from UMBC in 2008, he has performed Jazz, Pop, Rock and Hip Hop music in many DMV-area venues, from the Kennedy Center and Lincoln Theatre to Twins Jazz and the 930 Club. He finds inspiration in the genius of classical masters, the vitality of jazz greats and the zeal of folk traditions.

Printmaking with Monoprint, Chine Collé and Relief PlatesInstructor: Rosemary Cooley 3 days: March 17, 18 and 19Friday, Saturday and Sunday 9:30 a.m.–12:30 p.m. Price: $185 Members, $222 Non-membersA materials fee of $40 is payable to the instructor at the first class. It will include Archival Rag Paper, Japanese paper, relief plates, inks and the use of the studio tools.

The exciting world of printmaking becomes more complex with the use of new methods to create more layered artworks on fine archival paper. Although this course is tailored for those who have had experience with monoprint, new printmakers are also welcome. Chine collé, translated from the French, means “pasted thin paper.” The student will make simple relief plates and print them on fine Japanese papers, which receive the

inks in more delicate ways than on thicker papers. These prints will then be chine collé-d (laminated) onto plain or monoprinted thicker paper in the etching press . The results will be varied, textured and surprising. The prints may be editioned (multiples made) and if students are interested, the class may have a print exchange at the end of the workshop. rosemarycooleyart.com.PAINTING STUDIO EADU1004-03

Mini Masters Academy An Early Enrichment Program for Children ages 2–4In Partnership with the Smithsonian Early Enrichment Center

Mini Masters Academy introduces young children to new ideas through a thematic approach to learning that emphasizes relationships and the ability to make meaningful connections. It teaches a basic life skill ... how to learn ... and focuses on strategies and techniques that can be applied to almost any encounter with the unknown.

The focus is not on acquiring facts or information, but rather on the process of learning through inquiry and sensory exploration of objects. It is through this process that children make ideas their own.

The rich resources of the Academy Art Museum offer a wonderful venue for teaching these sensory explorations. The resources come in many forms, from artwork to museum professionals. The focus might be a single piece of art within a collection, an entire exhibition or a visiting artist or musician.

Children's literature, objects and visual images are the key elements of almost every experience. Activities are

planned to encourage discussion and increase vocabulary. The curriculum offers a wide range of possibilities and introduces, develops and ties together individual skills in a meaningful way. Skills are also related to the real world and situations that children might encounter.

Children learn to express their feelings and ideas as they talk about objects and works of art they see in the Museum. Mini Masters Academy embraces a child-centered approach to learning and offers activities that build awareness through sensory experiences.

Spotlight on Area Schools’ Art Programs: Metamorphosis

Last year, Saints Peter and Paul elementary and middle school art teacher, Rebecca Wheatley, embarked on an ambitious school-wide 8-foot high sculpture project called Metamorphosis. Wheatley’s purpose was to introduce “the goal of innovation” to her students, who “created additive sculptures by molding plastic and creating glass-like flowers, similar to the glass artworks of Dale Chihuly.” The sculpture consists of 2,800 pieces of Grafix Dura-Lar Acetate and took six months to create. Students developed multiple skills: measuring, cutting, melting, bending, painting, and lighting. One hundred feet of lights were incorporated into the 8-foot sculpture. The Museum plans to display the sculpture during the 2017 student art exhibition.

ArtReach Continues Through the End of the School Year

ArtReach is the Museum’s signature partnership with schools. Over 2400 area students, teachers and chaperones from five counties participated in the program during the 2015-2016 school year.

This year, there will be two separate field trip opportunities:

Through February 26, 2017, the Museum is presenting Avian Inspirations, featuring the work of Donna Dodson and Andy Moerlein, aka The Myth Makers. This past fall the Myth Makers constructed The Mighty Merganser, a huge site-specific outdoor sculpture in the Museum’s front yard from hundreds of slender saplings. The Museum is also featuring the prints and paintings of Washington artist, Jacob Kainen, renowned for his sense of color.

From April 15 through the end of the school year, the Museum will present FABRICation: Fiber Art, a glorious collection of works in fabric and fiber. During the same period, the Museum will be showing prints by Steven Ford, whose abstract works explore shape, color and texture—some of the same elements that fabric artists consider.

Students will look closely at how artists use unusual mediums to create expressive images and consider the versatility and expressive qualities of their materials.

* Note that it is possible to book for either OR both of these exhibitions right now *

The Museum works with students in pre-K through high school from both public and private institutions. Art clubs, scout groups and other organizations are welcome as well. Budget woes? No problem! There is no cost for the ArtReach program and the Museum even pays for transportation costs. Please inquire about visual arts projects for your age group.

Contact Director of ArtReach and Community Programs, Constance Del Nero, at cdelnero@academyartmuseum.org for information on how to sign up.

The Museum wishes to thank the Artistic Insight Fund of the Mid-Shore Community Foundation for its continued generous support of ArtReach.

High School Students Attend an ArtReach Field Trip.

In 2012, the Museum asked Director of ArtReach and Community Programs, Constance Del Nero, to design a curriculum project to engage schoolchildren for an entire school year. The resulting program, called Museums in the Museum! teaches children how a museum functions, asks them to consider what their ideal museum would look like, and helps them create their own miniature “museum” in a diorama box. The project hones students’ visual art, language arts, and research skills. This year, 4th grade students from Maple Elementary in Dorchester County and 5th grade students from Saints Peter and Paul in Talbot County are participating. In the late spring, their “museums” will be on view at the Museum at special receptions. To find out more about the program, please email Constance at cdelnero@academyartmuseum.org.

New Program: Have Art, Will Travel!

The Museum knows that it’s not always easy for teachers to book field trips. Sometimes scheduling does not permit for students to be out of the building or for art teachers to find substitute teachers. Why not have a Museum educator bring a work from its permanent collection to you for viewing and discussion, followed by a related art project? It may even be possible to align Museum projects with your own curriculum.

Have Art, Will Travel launched this past fall and has already touched the lives of over 300 elementary school students. Please contact Director of ArtReach and Community Programs, Constance Del Nero, at cdelnero@academyartmuseum.org for more information. As with ArtReach, there is no cost for Have Art, Will Travel!

In-Service Day Opportunities for Art and Elementary Classroom TeachersA terrific opportunity! The Museum offers art and elementary classroom teachers the chance to learn new tricks, talk art, swap project ideas and come away from a workshop with renewed energy and enthusiasm. The Museum has offered 10 professional development workshops over the past four years and more are in the works. The Museum can help you plan a low-cost in-service day for teachers in your school or district.

New research shows that there are a variety of learning styles and many students learn best through the arts. Researchers also note that the compartmentalism of core subjects is artificial; there is art in math and English language arts just as surely as there are onions in soup! How might the arts help your students learn?

For more information, please get in touch with Director of ArtReach and Community Programs, Constance Del Nero, at cdelnero@academyartmuseum.org.

AMILY ART DAYSF Family Art DaysMake sure you plan to pARTicipate in our upcoming family art days! The Museum welcomes children 6+ and their families or mentors to explore and create art.

According to the Child Development Institute, “Families can create a harmonious balance in their children’s lives when they make provisions for the arts.” The site goes on to offer lots of

ways that parents can incorporate art in their families’ lives and closes by advising, “The most important ingredient in the recipe is your interest. Be there to appreciate and encourage during every step of the creative process.” What better way to spend quality time with your child than to come to the Academy Art Museum and work together on a project? The Family That Makes Art Together Gets SmART Together!

Programs include:Travel the World at the Academy Art Museum takes children 6+ and their parents on a “trip” to a far-away country…where they will work together on an art project and enjoy tasty snacks typical of that country. So far, we have traveled to Australia, Italy, and Japan and learned about Aboriginal dot paintings, Sicilian marionettes, and folded card stock gift-boxes. Our next stop will be Ghana. We will be inspired by the work of El Anatsui, who works with recycled materials to create stunning wall-hangings. All aboard! There is no cost for this trip…but please let us know if you are coming as it will help us plan. Sign up online at academyartmuseum.org.

This event is offered at the Museum in conjunction with the Chesapeake Multicultural Resource Center (ChesMRC) and was co-developed with Deborah Scales, ChesMRC’s art enrichment teacher.
