Art meeting, demo slated for Monday
WOODSTOWN The Salem County Art League March Meeting and Art Demonstration will be held Monday at the Friends Village's Fenwick Auditorium in Woodstown. Guest artist Tony Parisi will share his approach to drawing people. This should be a very interesting session because of his broad experience. Parisi is a graduate of the New York State Institute of Applied Arts and Sciences and also has studied at the School of Visual Arts, The New School and the Art Students League. He has worked in several New York City advertising agencies as creative director and now devotes his time exclusively to fine arts. He is equally comfortable working in both watercolors and oils. His paintings are developed from his sketches, his photographs and the use of live models.
YORK: Oakwood Collegiate to offer fine arts certificate
Oakwood Collegiate Institute is building on its reputation as a strong arts school by offering a fine arts certificate beginning next September. Students with a minimum of eight credits in any art discipline, which includes drama, music, visual arts and dance, are eligible for the certificate. "We should have done something like this a long time ago," said Roy Greaves, assistant co-ordinator of the arts program at Oakwood. "It (the arts) is a critical aspect of their education." Some Oakwood graduates have gone on to be highly successful in several arts-related fields, including Canadian recording artist Jully Black and record producer Bob Ezrin who most notably worked on Pink Floyd's classic album, The Wall. Both are expected to make an appearance at Oakwood's 100th year anniversary celebrations taking place in late April and early May.
