We're a funny lot by nature, I think. Or maybe it's just me. I love to be by myself when I'm painting, yet I feel super-charged and engaged by being with other artists. Just doing this project, I noticed I went from being addressed in polite terms to being "one of the guys". We have so much potential in this group. I am grateful for Tunde, Susan and Lee for being the brainstormers who planted the seeds and cultivated the soil for the rest of us to flourish. Now, I see the process growing, so that many more join in the joy of creating with like-minded artists. <o:p></o:p></span></div><br />

Awake at 3:00 in the morning, I got out of bed to look up the link for The Carter Building.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What I read there about the creative community inhabiting a building that dated back in the Carter family to the 1920s, lured me to bring my husband with me to tour the space the following day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The impression I had there was like walking into a Hobbit warren.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Stairways leaned and floors tilted, and everywhere art and artists' tools competed for space.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was that day that I knocked on Mr. Carter's door and announced that I was coming.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He had no space available, but I knew I was meant to be there. This was a place that felt like home.</span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">This Saturday The Carter Building artists will be hosting a gathering of school children, local celebrities, and neighbors to paint a mural entitled, "Raleigh, My Dream City" designed by Tunde Afolayan and Lee Ball, which will decorate the exterior of The Carter Building.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is exactly the vision I had when I got out of bed in that early morning last November.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I wanted to be in a place that acknowledged the creativity inside each person; a place where people experienced community, and one that allowed each to contribute according to his nature.</span></div><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I invite you to be part of the dream. Feel a glimmer of ownership as you stroll down Glenwood South.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Bring your kids so they can share the experience of creating something that will touch others for years to come.</span></div><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Welcome to "Raleigh, My Dream City"!</span><br />

His skills and expertise in diverse media such as printmaking, photography, mosaic, painting, and clay are remarkable proofs of his competency. <br />His program, with a diverse range of students, has been used extensively in a successful national YouthARTS Development Project to demonstrate how the powers of art contribute to improving behaviors and attitudes in young people. <br /><br />Programs include “Community Mural” residencies for arts councils, museums, libraries, recreation centers, senior centers, public and transitional housing facilities. Also available are “Multicultural Mural” and “Identity Mask” workshops to strengthen team spirit, cultural appreciation, and respect for others in a corporate environment.In-School Educational Programs Educational programs include residencies and workshops that provide students with a unique avenue for experiencing art through visual stimulation, demonstration, and experimentation.carterbuildingartistshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02094064395940084084noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1363979262088162587.post-75139091013033768972011-01-22T18:08:00.000-08:002011-01-23T08:06:00.240-08:00PAINTING FROM LIFE_Rick Bennett<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3cKpsdgwEvuQGi5wSKg5u11Ly4ZT3r64upkRtgudKW6gM8yfDLVQqz5aw0e0hSbncIojIPRW_Ks3GrnM3hf0A1EbbHLwM4guDimc1z-55VsI1BLTdeU_GQLtsiGy4fmE3kjzMemkU1GU/s1600/rick1.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3cKpsdgwEvuQGi5wSKg5u11Ly4ZT3r64upkRtgudKW6gM8yfDLVQqz5aw0e0hSbncIojIPRW_Ks3GrnM3hf0A1EbbHLwM4guDimc1z-55VsI1BLTdeU_GQLtsiGy4fmE3kjzMemkU1GU/s320/rick1.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565198356642866930" /></a><br />Painting from life gives you many wonderful elements that you would never envision sitting in your studio. There are unexpected elements of light, color and composition that can inspire successful paintings. Painting from life also uses different art skills so don‘t be discouraged the first times you try it. <br />Painting outdoors can also be a challenge. There is so much in front of you and it can be difficult to decide what to paint. Even if you have chosen your subject and it is in the distance look up close and find something interesting as a secondary element. Once the close up element is beginning to take shape you have a strong element to work from as you proceed with the rest of the painting. Establish some dark values early to help gauge the other values in the painting. <br />Use a viewfinder or two L shapes pieces of matte board. I use an old matte that is cut at two opposite corners. This will help you choose whether the painting format is vertical or horizontal and which elements to include. <br />Don’t be afraid to rearrange the scene in front of you. Replace a tree with a more interesting one from out of your chosen area. Change the size of an element or the color of a bloom. Remember that you are creating a painting and not copying nature. Look at your painting as it progresses and decide what it needs to make it a better painting. Then look at the vista in front of you and find what fits that need. <br />As the day progresses and the sun moves so does your light. You have to decide whether you are going to remember the early light and paint that or paint in anticipation of where the light is going to be as you complete your day of painting. I start early in the morning and draw in my subject. Since I work in watercolor any elements of perspective and proportion have to be worked out in the drawing because they are difficult or impossible to fix later. So I choose to draw in anticipation of where the light will be and paint the light at its most interesting point.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9mStuwtMnt6aLZh65KZKB_HaoYBvZWvj369qZwzNavG7bbFvtImZAYtt33i_CLdEWQPQkAI9uDzOdMIrGUOXVTsCN8u9XlBqIuSZC0UNG6Tk4tXQLfXHj86drL0-yCVCr3bU0kQD15NM/s1600/rick2.bmp"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 260px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9mStuwtMnt6aLZh65KZKB_HaoYBvZWvj369qZwzNavG7bbFvtImZAYtt33i_CLdEWQPQkAI9uDzOdMIrGUOXVTsCN8u9XlBqIuSZC0UNG6Tk4tXQLfXHj86drL0-yCVCr3bU0kQD15NM/s320/rick2.bmp" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565199840868891874" /></a>carterbuildingartistshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02094064395940084084noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1363979262088162587.post-60153067320800426612011-01-10T02:31:00.000-08:002011-01-23T08:00:01.392-08:00RICK BENNETT_WAITING FOR WORMS<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt1a3cAqn_mBKsIvJr8sYtiaWNtPod1uP9ue6e22TOo1GaCEMXNhMMqqw5w77RJQpkHXAsp-DM_SNHb-R8hZwXnauPXbxfqcxtsVWHa88cZ-vuMq8HIFXhIP31BlaFcDp6k5iSubXnxWI/s1600/Bennett+01++Waiting+for+Worms.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 242px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560504239566006786" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgt1a3cAqn_mBKsIvJr8sYtiaWNtPod1uP9ue6e22TOo1GaCEMXNhMMqqw5w77RJQpkHXAsp-DM_SNHb-R8hZwXnauPXbxfqcxtsVWHa88cZ-vuMq8HIFXhIP31BlaFcDp6k5iSubXnxWI/s320/Bennett+01++Waiting+for+Worms.jpg" /></a><br /><br />Art is inspired by different things for every artist. When I paint from something I find exciting it translates to a more interesting painting.<br />Caring for our city chickens is one of my favorite activities. When they see the shovel or a garden trowel they come running because they know what happens when the earth is turned. They don't share and they each want all of the worms. It makes me laugh to see them chase the hen who has the worm.<br />Rick Bennett<br />UpStart Studio<br />Carter Building, Studio 25<br />Rbennett16@nc.rr.com<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNo-q4rM4LPGjG4hJyy5ROsde_Ij5IKabAtdeetOXmaROM00kQbzhbDgfK8MfMcpFIxU4UuVJ489e0kuIrywnYjw_NuDbaTt-i4MQEQc7KG-Q9TFvGEVb1nXOBWHUZBecTlagAIDtlcPY/s1600/Rick.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 169px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5560504426504519394" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNo-q4rM4LPGjG4hJyy5ROsde_Ij5IKabAtdeetOXmaROM00kQbzhbDgfK8MfMcpFIxU4UuVJ489e0kuIrywnYjw_NuDbaTt-i4MQEQc7KG-Q9TFvGEVb1nXOBWHUZBecTlagAIDtlcPY/s320/Rick.jpg" /></a>carterbuildingartistshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02094064395940084084noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1363979262088162587.post-51079790740051751122010-12-22T20:12:00.000-08:002011-01-02T04:13:07.211-08:00ART CLASSES AT THE CARTER BUILDING ART CENTER<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgdMKljGijdm7A_qALpesdbSyDo1TBBBcXodWIJCHH02XNFdBE2tQ-3tgooCP5CNBrR46Qh7B9FsxK675xyz-iWvDhupiPmohs1ncphDXfd7Gf2zN8eQCo9e5q7Z-ieMzo7bd2pPFCmaA/s1600/student2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 288px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557556772383785042" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgdMKljGijdm7A_qALpesdbSyDo1TBBBcXodWIJCHH02XNFdBE2tQ-3tgooCP5CNBrR46Qh7B9FsxK675xyz-iWvDhupiPmohs1ncphDXfd7Gf2zN8eQCo9e5q7Z-ieMzo7bd2pPFCmaA/s320/student2.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div>Join us for classes and workshops that will allow you to explore the joy of creativity.

I have had the opportunity to study with a variety of local and nationally known artists. Some of the classes were intensive sessions to help me develop my own personal style, while others were in a group setting that provided insight to other artists and their approach to ‘seeing’ in the world of art.<br />As a former teacher, it was only natural to want to share my passion with others. Beginning with small group lessons in my studio over 10 years ago, I have continued to expand my instructional offerings to children and adults through special programs at several local retirement communities, at Pullen Art Center, and at Jerry’s Artrama in Raleigh. How rewarding it is to watch people develop the ability to ‘see’ and paint the world around them. www.janiejohnsonwatercolors.com<br /><br /><br /><strong>Susan Jones</strong><br />Having always wanted to be an artist, when my youngest started school, I decided to pursue my dream. I didn’t know anything about art other than I wanted to ‘create it’! I studied photography and illustration at Meredith College before getting my Master’s degree in Design at NCSU. I am proof positive that anyone can learn to draw and fulfill their creative dreams! My current work centers around using colored pencils to hand color black and white photographs. Visit www.skjonesart.com to see my work.<br /><br /><strong>Cody Nichols</strong><br />I’m a hairdresser by trade, a mother by choice and a crafter by necessity.<br />Eight years ago I sat down early one Sunday morning with a 3 dollar bro¬chure from Wal Mart called “Teach Yourself to Crochet in Just One Day!” I worked at it and worked at it for about three hours straight. Oh my god, my hands were tired and cramped but I was so proud of my tiny little 3” swatch of crochet stitches when I was done! Since then I have devoured crochet. My best friend says if I can teach her, I can teach anyone.<br />Some of my crochet jewelry work can be seen at<br />www.twentynine29.etsy.com<br />and on ravelry.com, an online knitting and crochet community.<br />www.ravelry.com/projects/codilla29</div></div>carterbuildingartistshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02094064395940084084noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1363979262088162587.post-91106852141097724222010-11-10T11:25:00.000-08:002010-11-10T11:57:48.334-08:00CBA 2010 HOLIDAY EVENTS<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik0pKYQ-KXtkVyyN34PeqPDEPFYBPBvQhOvkQLEgFR6a4fAByBubTSOWwZ73bHfkRLrkajPk9gOu3pGPV2HzU14PAyae90siuq38AsQGJ1xGBGxU2pCniQCoJd1vh4GWrRLieHHaMpzfs/s1600/CBAshopdowntown2.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 282px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5538012637739867634" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik0pKYQ-KXtkVyyN34PeqPDEPFYBPBvQhOvkQLEgFR6a4fAByBubTSOWwZ73bHfkRLrkajPk9gOu3pGPV2HzU14PAyae90siuq38AsQGJ1xGBGxU2pCniQCoJd1vh4GWrRLieHHaMpzfs/s320/CBAshopdowntown2.jpg" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxHhRrJ2-Kd7nszE9VUVbqXNjEJpBcJcs6KASCRGg6f9cVNyhoXqjsAiHmYyyfPmnNW75JpGiYKfdFlj9zIrPai34ElB96Vy3GDd_PSw_W8x_qdNp79cF048mLxcZfxNaluecSxsa9NzE/s1600/CBAshopdowntown.jpg"></a><br /><br /><div>Join us December 4, & 11, 2010 for <a href="http://www.godowntownraleigh.com/shopdowntownraleigh/index.htm">Shop Downtown Raleigh</a></div><br /><div>On Dec 4th, from 10-4, receive a 10% discount, or more, on all purchases and enjoy food provided by a local resturant.
