Scott Stewart
Join Scott Stewart in an exploration of the role music plays in cinema. Composers create artistic, effective scores which must blend seamlessly with the film’s action, while being distinctive themselves. Enjoy clips from the start of cinema’s Golden Age in the 1930s to present-day in this audio-visual experience. Stewart is the Music Director and Conductor of the Atlanta Youth Wind Symphony.
“Art Workshop, Botanical Graphite Rubbings,” Tuesday July 25, 1:00 to 4:00 P.M.; $100 members/$110 non-members, Presenter: Norma Hendrix.
Embark on a new creative endeavor with artist and instructor Norma Hendrix and learn about the art of Frottage. Begin by harvesting lush wildflowers and leaves from CLE’s grounds, and then use them to create beautiful rubbings on rice paper and vellum, preserving the details of your botanical. From there, elevate your creations with collage and/or water-color techniques as desired. Hendrix, an exhibiting artist for over 40 years, holds a BFA, a MA, and a MFA.
