SPECIAL LECTURE & BOOK SIGNING BY DAN HILL“First Blush: People’s Intuitive Reactions to Art” This unique lecture is an more in depth exploration of last years talk and focuses on insights gleaned from how study participants intuitively responded to masterpieces from the Renaissance to today. First Blush is twice as large in scope as any study ever conducted before that links eye-tracking technology and world-class art works. This book simultaneously draws on facial coding to capture and identify people’s quick, realtime emotional response to 88 paintings, photographs and the occasional sculpture or installation piece. “Art is either plagiarism or revolution,” wrote Paul Gauguin. You’re unlikely to attend another art lecture this year as innovative in spirit as Hill’s exploration of how art seems to best capture the eye and move the heart. SATURDAY, September 28, 2019, 10:00 AM, $10Please register in advance and reserve a copy of his book.DAN HILL, PH.D., is the founder and president of Sensory Logic, Inc., which originated the use of facial coding in business beginning in 1998. Dan has received ten U.S. patents in all, and his research-based consulting company has worked for over half of the world’s top 100 business-to-consumer oriented companies. Dan’s TV appearances have included: ABC’s “Good Morning America,” Al Jazeera, Bloomberg TV, CNBC, CNN, ESPN, Fox, MSNBC, NBC’s “The Today Show,” PBS, and The Tennis Channel.

INTRODUCING NEW PLEIN AIR WORKSHOP AND INSTRUCTOR BRIDGET ERTELT We are lucky in Minnesota to get such a show of color each autumn. For the plein air painter, managing all of that color can be a challenging yet rewarding task. This workshop will focus on breaking down the painting process into logical steps to simplify the complexity of the landscape. Each day we will work on exercises that build on one another to enhance understanding of the process. We will discuss the value structure in the landscape, and the effect that different types of

light have on value structure. We will also work on color relativity, thinking about color as value, and organizing value/color shapes in a way that creates dynamic starts. “The best way to get ahead is to get started.”-Mark Twain. Class will be taught in oils. Please contact Bridget if you have questions. She may be reached via email at BridgetErtl@hotmail.com.

SPECIAL WORKSHOP: THE ART OF ARTIFICIAL LIGHTING FOR PAINTING WITH DAVID GINSBERG

BACK BY POPULAR DEMANDThis two-day workshop includes a lecture and demonstration on the use of controlled lighting for a consistent light source resembling natural light. The hands-on portion of the workshop will be a day and a half of working together on still life setups using various artificial lighting techniques. We will go through a series of steps that will demonstrate some of the various lighting options, as well as using light and shadow as part of the compositional element. Once a satisfactory setup has been established with both the still life and the lighting, participants

will be given the option to paint a color sketch of the still life from their set up or continue by working with different light and or set ups. If painting, this will enable you to work through the process of painting with and from artificial light. DAVID GINSBERG has been photographing images for over thirty years. He holds a degree in photography from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, and has pursued his passion of photography in both the commercial advertising industry and as an art form. He has had studios in Los Angeles, California; Mexico City, Mexico; and Minneapolis, Minnesota.

LIZ HUNTER LECTURE:The Eye of the Needle - How R. H. Ives Gammell Preserved a Painting TraditionIn 1946 Ives Gammell published his book Twilight of Painting in which he lamented the deleterious effect of “modern art” on the art of painting and how it was taught. He then opened his own atelier to train painters and by the mid 1950s had produced five students, three of whom went on to become teachers themselves: Richard Lack, Robert Douglas Hunter and Robert John Cormier. Gammell continued to teach until his death in 1981 and his later students have continued the tradition of training younger painters. We will consider the key elements and influences in Gammell’s training which are being transmitted today by his students and their students.

DATE: SATURDAY, October 19, 2019TIME: 10:00 AMCOST: $10 (Please register online, by mail, or call to reserve your seat.)Elizabeth Ives Hunter grew up surrounded by artists, models, paint and canvas. Her father, Theodore W. J. Valsam, was assistant to her godfather, R. H. Ives Gammell. In 1981 she became an advisor to the R. H. Ives Gammell Studios Trust and was drawn back into the art world, lecturing and writing in the field, and editing Gammell’s books Boston Painters 1900-1930 and the second edition of Twilight of Painting. In 1993 she curated and traveled with the exhibition The Hound of Heaven – A Pictorial Sequence which traveled to 11 museums in the United States, England and Scotland from 1993 through 1996. In 2000 Mrs. Hunter became Guest Curator at the Maryhill Museum of Art, Goldendale, WA where she organized the exhibition Transcending Vision which traveled to museums in the United States and England for two years. She wrote the book, Transcending Vision – R. H. Ives Gammell 1893-1981 jointly with Gerald R. Ackerman. For her complete bio, please visit her website, ElizabethIvesHunter.com.

The original Atelier, founded by Richard Lack in 1970 as a not for profit corporation, has based its aesthetic philosophy on a direct lineage to the Boston school of American Impressionists and the French Academy. The Atelier, co-directed by Dale Redpath and Cyd Wicker, closely follows these original precepts offering students the opportunity to master the fundamental principles in the classical discipline of realistic drawing and painting. In all of The Atelier’s classes, emphasis is placed on developing the student’s ability to accurately observe proportions and value relationships. Some instruction is given to the class as a whole, but most instruction is given on an individual basis. The Atelier pursues a non-discriminatory policy and is open to all eligible students regardless of race, creed, color, gender, sexual orientation or national origin.
