Linda's Art Blog
This blog is for discussions on Art and Design in support of students, artists, and buyers of Art. It is a way to have some fun with my home studio and on-line students and anyone interested in Art History and current events. Comment on this blog as an opportunity to share recent shows and events and thoughts about your own art process.
"Image and Word: Art and Poetry in Conversation" SOLD OUT
Thursday, July 10, 2014 at 1:58PM ;)
All Seats have been SOLD.
Standing Room Only tickets will be sold at the door.

Join us for the unveiling of new art and new poetry shaped by a creative collaboration among Colorado artists and poets. Beginning with a “seed work” of visual art, our first poet composed a verse response and passed it on to another artist, who in turn responded with a fresh work of art that was then sent to the next poet. The process continued until eight new art works and eight new poems had emerged. Artists and poets worked in anonymity, so the unveiling will be full of exciting surprises for everyone involved.

The Art Process-"Choices of the Artist" begins October 5
Thursday, September 26, 2013 at 4:42PM ;)
Pietro-St.Ursula Learn to choose 1. The Medium 2. The Content (Purpose) 3. Compositional (arrangement in the frame) 4. How to manipulate the Elements, and apply the Principles of Design. Linda Armantrout will guide you to make good choices to add impact to your paintings and drawings and collages in this series of classes presented at CFA Gallery, 916 Main Street in Louisville. Each class will combine fresh insights from a lesson in art history with an exciting contemporary assignment. Students will work in a sketchbook to make good plans, and then choose to either draw or paint to complete the assignment.
I am excited to share the first lesson about ancient art, and how to use the choices we see in our own contemporary art, with new and returning students. Exerpt from the class: "Giotto is regarded as the founder of the central tradition of Western painting…" There are 2 seats left in the class. It starts on October 5. Click to see Flyer.
