These mini-workshops give us a chance to try new things without a great expenditure on different art materials before we know if we want to commit to a new media. We've had workshops on gouache, casein, water-miscible oils and airbrushing. These experimental sessions have been great fun! <br />Several of our members have been blessed with opportunities to travel. They have brought back many photos of beautiful landscapes, flora and fauna, etc. that they have been willing to share via slideshows, and generously allowing our membership to use these photos as reference material for painting or drawing. We have enjoyed fascinating scenes from the American Southwest, and the Pacific Northwest (Washington and Oregon), as well as underwater scenes. Our members really appreciate this sharing, as we don't all seem to travel to the same locations. <br />One of our club's main focuses is our involvement in our community. We consider it our mandate to provide exposure and education to our community in various ways. For this reason, we continue to participate in our local Walden fall fair at the Anderson farm. We provide learning opportunities for both children and parents, where they are able to participate in various arts. The children especially had fun sculpting and making bookmarks. The weather this year was very cold and windy, so unfortunately, our outdoor watercolour area did not work out too well -- we will try that again next year! We also had a display of flower-themed paintings at the horticultural society's show at the Farmer's Market, and we continue to have art on display at the doctors’ offices in Lively. <br />For the second year in a row, we are going with our Artists in Action format for our spring show in April. The community seems to enjoy seeing each artist with their own work and watching them at work. This allows them to ask questions about the processes involved. For the past several years, we have had a community canvas, where visitors to our show could try their hand at painting. As we consider ourselves a "painting and drawing" club, this year we decided to do a community doodle instead. We will have a large white board, black markers of various thicknesses, and a lot of sample "texture drawings" for people to choose from. <br />As another means of community involvement some of our members volunteer their time to teach art in schools. We feel it is important to encourage young artists, so again this year we will present two awards to students participating in the Emergence show at the Art Gallery of Sudbury which is held concurrently with the NOAA show in March. This also gives some of our members some experience in jurying.

Instead of setting up the show as a gallery presentation of the member’s artwork we will be set up this year in our “Artists in Action” format. Our members will have their own displays and will be working on a project while you watch. They will be able to answer all your questions concerning their artwork.  <b></b></p> <p>Every year the members set up a canvas as a “Work in Progress” for those visitors who get inspired and wish to try their hand at putting paint on canvas. </p> <p>Our children’s section has been a great success in the past years. We encourage creativity for all ages so we set up an area for the young artists to play and create a drawing or a bookmark to take home with them. <b></b></p> <p>While at the show, enter to win one of the door prizes that our artists have donated and take a break in our Café to chat with friends and family while enjoying a coffee and/or dessert or two. Before you leave browse through our library of photo albums filled with the past 42 years of memories.</p> <p>WAC is always looking for new members: </p> <p>If you are interested in drawing, painting at any level, and wish to be with others with like interests, we would be happy to have you join our club. We get together to paint and share ideas, with some members doing demonstrations using various techniques on occasion.</p> <p>We meet on Saturday mornings at the Ben Moxam Community Centre just off the highway on Westview Cres., Lively.   </p> <p>For more information you can call 705 692 7612.  </p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058273506895386230.post-59464955466226536842011-10-28T17:22:00.001-07:002011-10-28T17:26:41.391-07:00Artists in Action 2011 <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-5MlyZNtyYN0/TqtHQSVnFdI/AAAAAAAAAQQ/Mz9Mv4aam5A/s1600-h/ART%252520CLUB%252520POSTER%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="ART CLUB POSTER" border="0" alt="ART CLUB POSTER" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-FaE_FsGwhqA/TqtHRFyHAII/AAAAAAAAAQY/1RPrTVvG82E/ART%252520CLUB%252520POSTER_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="411" height="471" /></a></p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058273506895386230.post-65642228273428224812011-05-01T18:53:00.001-07:002011-05-01T18:53:10.792-07:00Your Community Art Club<p> <br clear="all" /><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_2_Tceqpvd28/Tb4OVPRGEeI/AAAAAAAAAPg/yMvSSjQOsSg/s1600-h/WAC%20Brochure-1%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="The Walden Art Club has been around for more than 40 years" border="0" alt="The Walden Art Club has been around for more than 40 years" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_2_Tceqpvd28/Tb4OZF54xRI/AAAAAAAAAPk/koWrvM1Yd2w/WAC%20Brochure-1_thumb%5B1%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="588" height="435" /></a></p> <p> <br clear="all" /><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_2_Tceqpvd28/Tb4OeCnYc6I/AAAAAAAAAPo/4xAO3Byz6_w/s1600-h/WAC%20Brochure-2%5B5%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="The Walden Art Club has been around for more than 40 years" border="0" alt="The Walden Art Club has been around for more than 40 years" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_2_Tceqpvd28/Tb4OhXRRPDI/AAAAAAAAAPs/0bXqeW6AGmA/WAC%20Brochure-2_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="590" height="443" /></a></p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058273506895386230.post-21067774075791185662011-05-01T18:35:00.001-07:002011-05-01T18:35:07.548-07:00At The Artist’s Easel With Christie Best-Pearson<p><font size="2">If you have seen Best-Pearson’s work, you can’t help but be impressed by the obvious love that goes into each piece. In her distinct and expressive style, whether of a still life or a landscape, her paintings exude light and detail confirming hours of patience and talent. Though most of her work is done in transparent watercolour, using multiple glazes, she also works in pencil. <br clear="all" /></font></p> <p><font size="2">Drawn to the arts as a child through both music and drawing, Christie learned early that she could use these media to express herself, something that didn’t come easily for her. As she grew older and entered high school, Christie knew she wanted to be an artist. <br clear="all" /></font></p> <p><font size="2">Most of Christie’s art education is self-taught, but she has attended workshops of other artists and her influences have been Canadian artists Brigitte Schreyer and A.J. Casson of the Group of Seven. Christie also “learns as she goes,” picking up information through books and from other artists. <br clear="all" /></font></p> <p><font size="2">While married and raising children, Christie managed to find the time to paint out of necessity. More than just a hobby to her, it was a huge part of who she was as a person. When asked how she found the time, she said, “You have to CHOOSE. Do you watch sit down and watch a movie or do you draw? Do you go out with the girls for coffee or paint? And sometimes you just have to realize that a little bit of dust in your house is okay sometimes. I squeezed drawing in whenever I could.” <br clear="all" /></font></p> <p><font size="2">Throughout the years, Christie has been on the executive boards of the Elliot Lake Arts Club, the Northern Ontario Artists Association, the Manitoulin Fine Arts Association and the Walden Art Club. <br clear="all" /></font></p> <p><font size="2">Christie has exhibited in Northern Ontario, and has had several solo exhibitions on the Manitoulin, North Shore and Sudbury area. She does commissions of people working from both life and her own photographs as reference material for her work. <br clear="all" /></font></p> <p><font size="2">“What I would like to be able to do eventually is to stop work and just paint and work in my garden, have an open studio / gallery where people can come and go while I am working away. Although I have sold quite a few paintings and completed many commissions, selling my work has always been secondary to actually the joy of creating it. I just want to paint for the joy of it. So I guess I'll have to keep working at my "real job" so I can continue to do that. I also plan on teaching art again when I retire, whenever that happens. I do teach occasionally now - but because I work full time, that is limited at this point.” <br clear="all" /></font>by Victoria Tapper</p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058273506895386230.post-82973942368314828382011-05-01T18:25:00.001-07:002011-05-01T18:25:15.461-07:00At the Artist’s Easel with John Huang<p><font size="2">A first impression of John Huang is that he is a quiet and unassuming man. That may be, but underneath this exterior lives a brilliant artist whose use of vibrant colours and soft pastel strokes breathes life into everyday subjects. Whether he is painting a giant peony or a nearby skyline of Sudbury, his extraordinary talent is obvious. But, in my opinion, it is his interpretation of classical Chinese painting that truly spotlights John’s breadth of artistry. To view one of these exquisite paintings, either in classical Chinese brush work or pastel, is to be transported to another time and place. Scenes of ancient villages nestled between jagged mountains and flowing rivers project the viewer to a far off land as if he or she were actually there. These pieces are meticulously done with little flourish and great detail. The addition of Chinese characters and John’s personal red seal, complete the compositions making them truly exceptional. <br clear="all" /></font></p> <font size="2"> <p> Born in China, John came to Canada in 1965 and spent his part of his professional life as Director of the Central Analytical Facility at Laurentian University. Although he has been painting most of his life, (he is for the most part self-taught as an artist), his work has been accepted into several prestigious art shows both in Canada and among his honours is winning the Omer De Serres Prize at the 10<sup>th</sup> Anniversary Exhibition of the Pastel Society of Eastern Canada. <br clear="all" /></p> <p>As a truly cherished member of the Walden Art Club, John shares his knowledge with the members through mini workshops and is always an inspiration. If you ever get an opportunity to see any of John’s work, please don’t pass it up!</p> </font> Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058273506895386230.post-15877057812596346132011-05-01T18:04:00.001-07:002011-05-01T18:11:39.835-07:00At the Artist’s Easel with Linda Callander <font size="2"> <p> When she was just a child in school, Linda Callander loved to paint. And her teachers encouraged her. Participating in the local school art competitions was a special treat for Linda who won a number of art certificates for her school. <br clear="all" /></p> </font> <p><font size="2">As with most women with families, she has led a busy life raising her children and working outside the home. But her inherent passion for painting and creating has never died. She has even owned her own craft business. <br clear="all" /></font></p> <p><font size="2">Now that the family has grown and moved on, Linda can really devote herself to her artistic talents. Working primarily in acrylic, because of its forgiving nature and coloured pencil, which allows for many workable layers, Linda stretches her imagination and creativity to produce colourful landscapes, flowers, and wildlife. <br clear="all" /></font></p> <p><font size="2">Her work is distinct in its use of colour, technique and detail. Whether she paints a wildlife of deer, or a huge bunch of tulips, Linda’s work speaks for itself...talent and dedication to excellence. <br clear="all" /></font></p> <font size="2"> <p> When asked what she would like to try next, Linda said she wants to paint in a larger format, something 4’ x 6’ or larger, which includes doing a mural for the wall in her dining room. Obviously, a small detail like size is not a deterrent to her ambition. <br clear="all" /></p> <p>Among her numerous awards and recognition for her work, Linda has received honourable mentions for her submissions to the prestigious Ducks Unlimited National Art Portfolio, first place for drawing at the Heritage Alive Show in Sheguiandah and the People’s Choice Award at the Elliot Lake Art Club show.  </p> <p>As an long-time active member of the Walden Art Club, each year Linda works towards displaying her work at the club’s two yearly shows , as well as participating in all of the club’s other events. She is currently the club Librarian, “Keeper of the Books” so to speak.  </p> </font> <p><font size="2">Come out and take a look! <br clear="all" /></font><font size="1">by Victoria Tapper</font></p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058273506895386230.post-23836062886403922542011-03-29T19:20:00.001-07:002011-03-29T19:25:49.169-07:00Spring Show and Sale <p><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_2_Tceqpvd28/TZKTgG8I4wI/AAAAAAAAAPY/g-45cM56Yys/s1600-h/Poster%20Sud%20logo%20border%5B8%5D.jpg"><img style="display: inline" title="THE WALDEN ART CLUB" alt="THE WALDEN ART CLUB" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_2_Tceqpvd28/TZKTg6zfYEI/AAAAAAAAAPc/gCGpYy7VMeA/Poster%20Sud%20logo%20border_thumb%5B5%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="450" height="560" /></a></p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058273506895386230.post-90779182356924274152010-09-20T17:38:00.001-07:002010-09-20T17:38:03.266-07:0017th Annual “Artists in Action” Art Show and Sale<a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_2_Tceqpvd28/TJf-Z56OkyI/AAAAAAAAAPA/f_7tDcvCpqE/s1600-h/Artists-in-Action%5B5%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="" border="0" alt="" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_2_Tceqpvd28/TJf-aoZL0KI/AAAAAAAAAPE/DgZOsTwyFjY/Artists-in-Action_thumb%5B3%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="599" height="611" /></a> Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058273506895386230.post-60011326999463528692010-04-26T17:38:00.001-07:002010-04-26T17:38:30.801-07:00Thank You<p> <p> <p> <p> <p><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_2_Tceqpvd28/S9Yx5qGRMpI/AAAAAAAAAOk/R1vO9GgUVzc/s1600-h/Thank%20you%20to%20the%20following%20sponsors%5B1%5D-1%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="Thank you to the following sponsors[1]-1" border="0" alt="Thank you to the following sponsors[1]-1" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_2_Tceqpvd28/S9Yx_oFl0XI/AAAAAAAAAOo/8ijNt2YsjSA/Thank%20you%20to%20the%20following%20sponsors%5B1%5D-1_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="539" height="687" /></a>   <a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_2_Tceqpvd28/S9YyAI4PweI/AAAAAAAAAOs/6DRlhOzHe28/s1600-h/Thank%20you%20to%20the%20following%20sponsors%5B2%5D-2%5B10%5D.jpg"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="Thank you to the following sponsors[2]-2" border="0" alt="Thank you to the following sponsors[2]-2" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_2_Tceqpvd28/S9YyBC0yIjI/AAAAAAAAAOw/7r-vKBuNEqw/Thank%20you%20to%20the%20following%20sponsors%5B2%5D-2_thumb%5B8%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="338" height="693" /></a></p></p></p></p></p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058273506895386230.post-45769675478222285962010-03-09T17:30:00.001-08:002010-03-09T17:30:45.427-08:00Walden Art Club Spring Show and Sale<p> <a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_2_Tceqpvd28/S5b2PwWacwI/AAAAAAAAAOU/yvAIEiitIgw/s1600-h/Spring%20show%20and%20sale%5B4%5D.jpg"><img style="border-right-width: 0px; display: inline; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px" title="Spring show and sale" border="0" alt="Spring show and sale" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_2_Tceqpvd28/S5b2RNCIpKI/AAAAAAAAAOY/yfkQZyGha58/Spring%20show%20and%20sale_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="554" height="682" /></a></p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8058273506895386230.post-20229004460040921052010-02-15T05:10:00.001-08:002010-02-15T05:10:09.739-08:00Program Calendar<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2" width="400"><tbody> <tr> <td valign="top" width="200"> <p>Walden Art Club Program 2009-2010 <table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="402"><tbody> <tr> <td valign="top" width="49"> <p>Sept. 5 </p> </td> <td valign="top" width="351"> <p>Social and Registration Meeting – Welcome, everyone!</p> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" width="49"> <p>Sept. 12</p> </td> <td valign="top" width="351"> <p>NOAA General Meeting, Cornerstone Church.
