Weekly Classes Resume October

Concepts, Principles & Techniques

All of courses are taught through Concepts (broad, abstract, overarching ideas that give structure, unity and purpose), Principles(the physics, biology and psychology of visual perception and responses) and Techniques (materials and methods). These are applied to all of the subjects offered as weekly classes and workshops.

By developing an understanding of the language and ideas of great art, rather than only mimicking the instructor or nature, each artist is able to cultivate their own artist voice in accordance with their unique sensibilities.

HACC ANNOUNCES HILLSBORO PLEIN AIR COMPETITION WINNERS

On September 14-15, the Hillsboro Arts & Culture Council hosted its 6^th Annual Hillsboro Plein Air Outdoor Painting Competition. Forty-one artists from across the region spent two days painting the natural landscapes of the Jackson Bottom Wetlands Preserve, the historic neighborhoods of Downtown Hillsboro, including the Saturday Farmers' Market, and the scenic views of Árdíri Winery & Vineyards.

Painters could also participate in a timed Figurative “Quick Draw” event on Saturday, where models from Lavender’s Green Historic Clothing staged an Edwardian-themed tableau vivant (“living picture”) on the East Lawn of the Walters Cultural Arts Center.

Artists competed for awards in three categories: Landscape, City Scene and Figurative “Quick Draw.” The event concluded with a reception and awards ceremony for artists and community members on the lawn of the Arts Center. Music was provided by the Glencoe High School Jazz Band. Food and wine were provided by Primrose & Tumbleweeds and Claeys Catering. Local professional plein air painter, Eric Jacobsen, served as judge for the three categories while artists, friends and community members voted for the winner of the Peoples’ Choice Award during the reception.

The winners were:

Landscape Category

First Place: Thomas Clark, Scappoose

Second Place: Joanne Kollman, Portland

Honorable Mention: Kristina Sellers, Gresham

City Scene Category

First Place: Steve Kleier, Portland

Second Place: Anton Pavlenko, Happy Valley

Figurative “Quick Draw” Category

Honorable Mention: David Talaski, Tigard

Peoples’ Choice Award: Humberto Gonzalez, Portland

An exhibition of the works created by participating artists will take place at the Walters Cultural Arts Center from October 2-30. An opening reception will take place on Tuesday, October 2^nd from 6-8 pm, with light refreshments and a house concert provided by Five Star Guitars.
