AT THE ASHEVILLE
ART MUSEUM
Workshop: Zelda’s Flowers: Painting & Drawing
MARCH
10 — Saturday, 10:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Asheville Art Museum
Cost: $75 Museum Members, $85 non-members (includes all
materials Springtime means flowers,
but flowers are not always as they seem: to the artist, they may suggest globes of color, gashes of light, or tentative gestures
of changing shape. Using Zelda Fitzgerald’s painting Japanese Magnolias as inspiration, explore what it means to make abstract images from nature – giving them power as essential forms –
and study them as iconography. In this workshop, draw, paint, or mix the two to produce works that capture the dance-like
gesture and elegance of plants as they bloom. Look at works by Jim Dine, Vincent van Gogh, Robert Motherwell, Alex Katz, Edouard
Manet, Emil Nolde, Georgia O’Keeffe, and others, and compare their approaches to Zelda’s magnolias. Before relocating to Asheville, co-instructors
Pamela Lanza and Glenn Hirsch taught for over 20 years at UC Berkeley Extension’s Post-Baccalaureate Art Studio program
and the San Francisco Art Institute. Both have exhibited widely at public and private galleries in the US. Space is limited; register by March 5. Bring a snack/lunch; the Museum will provide
drinks. To register online, click here; for more information or to register by phone, call 828.253.3227 x122. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
