The goal is to help the artist bring their work to its full potential. Elements that will be reviewed include composition, form, structure, process and content.
The group will also discuss the artistic and creative process, as well as professional practices.
Optional suggested readings, exercises, strategies or approaches will be presented to assist each participant to expand and realize their potential. The class meets every other week to allow time to execute suggestions and to make new work for presentation.
Classes take place at the Art Museum of Greater Lafayette, located at 102 South 10th Street, Lafayette, IN. Individual Museum Membership is $35 per year.

I'm sure that all of you are about to the point of "NO MORE SNOW". The weatherman said we have had twice as much snow as usual, it is now less than half as much fun for me. I asked my 4 year old granddaughter, who lives in Illinois, is they had any snow and if she had been sledding? She told me that she only liked swimming weather- Me too. Time for spring.
If you missed our February meeting you missed a great evening. Linda's daughters did a great job of "sitting" for us and Linda gave some great tips on how to do portraits. If any of you have finished your portraits, how about bringing them to the meeting the 18th to share.
You won't want to miss the meeting on the 18th as Rena Brower will show us how she does portraits. Remember, the Board Meeting is at 6:30 PM and the general meeting starts at 7 PM with the program starting shortly after that. Come and learn more about portraits.
See you all March 18th
Jackie Field, President WVWS
