Delta Artists Society Newsletter
Meeting: February 1,2011
The Delta Artists Society is a nonprofit organization composted of individuals joining together to encourage an interest in and an appreciation of the visual arts.
At the last meeting, a discussion was held regarding a charitable project for the coming year. Several suggestions were made and among them was that each member begin to save their extra pennies for the coming year, and the total money saved would be donated to a charity which the members choose. They may be loose or wrapped, if possible. (we could meet in December and have a “wrap session”)
Hope House, Families in Transition and St Jude Hospital were mentioned as choices for the money.
It was decided that DAS would definitely hold the Annual Members Only Show this Fall.
DAS ART PROJECT:
The suggestion was made and agreed upon, that it would be interesting for each member to paint a picture using wither, oils, acrylics or watercolors with a limited pallet. The subjects in the painting include: a buildings or a single building, a tree or trees, and water. The framed painting should be 11x14. The limit pallet should have the colors used red, yellow, blue,burnt umber, and white. Please bring the finished and framed paintings to the May 3rd meeting.
