SUMMARY:MAGIC\, MYTH AND MONSTERS: THE MIDDLE AGES - Online Course
DESCRIPTION:MAGIC\, MYTH AND MONSTERS: THE MIDDLE AGES (and its influences on modernism) with Instructor: Dr. Jill Kiefer\nONLINE ZOOM CLASS – Six Weeks\nTuesdays\, April 12 – May 17 – 10:00 – 11:00 AM \nThe Middle Ages was a remarkable thousand-year-long civilization—underscored by a wholly unique culture and artistic tradition. The art of the era was developed by the people of the day\, without much influence from what had preceded it. Medieval art evolved from being incredibly naive to highly sophisticated\, and its legacy would be lasting. In this course\, we’ll thoroughly explore the exciting art of the medieval world and identify the threads that connect it to subsequent traditions. We’ll see that the art of the Middle Ages has remained very much alive throughout time—and that evolving artistic innovations are quite indebted to it! \nREGISTER FOR COURSE\n

SUMMARY:Kandinsky: A Transcendent Experience - Instructor: Dr. Jill Kiefer
DESCRIPTION:One of the pioneers of abstract modern art\, Wassily Kandinsky exploited the evocative interrelation between color and form to create an aesthetic experience that engaged the sight\, sound\, and emotions of the public. He believed that total abstraction offered the possibility for profound\, transcendental expression. Kandinsky’s visual vocabulary developed from early representational works to rapturous and operatic compositions\, and then to geometric and biomorphic flat planes of color. Join us to explore the contributions of this highly significant contributor to modernism. \nREGISTER FOR COURSE\nSix Sessions: Tuesdays\, 9/28 – 11/2 – 10:00 – 11:00 AM \n

SUMMARY:Georgia O’Keeffe: The Mother of American Modernism - Instructor: Dr. Jill Kiefer
DESCRIPTION:Georgia O’Keeffe played a pivotal role in the development of American modernism and its relationship to European avant-garde movements of the early-20th century. Producing a substantial body of work over seven decades\, she sought to capture the emotion and power of objects through abstracting the natural world. O’Keeffe incorporated the techniques of other artists into her work and was especially influenced by photographer Paul Strand and painter Arthur Dove. However\, her art is uniquely her own\, and she always danced to her own tune. Join us to learn more about this fascinating artist and woman. \nREGISTER FOR COURSE\nSix Sessions: Saturdays\, 10/2 – 11/6 – 10:00 – 11:00 AM

SUMMARY:Michelangelo: The First Modern Artist? (Online Course)
DESCRIPTION:Michelangelo is one of art history’s earliest true “characters” and his influence on art continues to be unparalleled. Everybody knows his name. But how much do you really know about him? He was a polymath genius who is widely regarded to be one of the greatest artists of the Italian Renaissance. Often temper driven\, fickle\, and difficult—he nevertheless found lifelong support by the era’s most renowned patrons and produced some of the world’s most iconic masterpieces. More recently\, discoveries of his work now place him at the forefront of modern art! Take this class to find out why—and to go far beyond what you think you know about Michelangelo. He was a highly complex individual\, with a fascinating history\, and an artistry that sets him apart from all others. \nJoin us at Bethany Arts Community for this fascinating 6-week art history Online Course lead by Jill Kiefer\, Ph.D.\nSix Sessions – Saturdays\, 10:00 – 11:00 AM\, April 10th – May 15th \n  \nREGISTER FOR ONLINE COURSE

SUMMARY:Matisse: A World of Colors and Patterns (Online Course)
DESCRIPTION:Henri Matisse is widely regarded as the greatest colorist of the 20th century and as a rival to Pablo Picasso in the importance of his innovations. He first achieved prominence as the leader of the French movement Fauvism—but his long career would take him in many different directions. Matisse sought to use color as the foundation for expressive\, decorative\, and often monumental paintings. He also made significant contributions to collage and sculpture. “What I dream of is an art of balance\, of purity and serenity…” Did he achieve it? Take this class to find out! \n\nJoin us at Bethany Arts Community for this fascinating 6-week art history Online Course lead by Jill Kiefer\, Ph.D.\nSix Sessions – Tuesdays – 10:00 – 11:00 AM – April 6th – May 11th\, 2021. \n  \nREGISTER FOR ONLINE COURSE

SUMMARY:Artist in Residence: Tacie Jones Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Artist Talk via Facebook LIVE:\nTacie Jones Artist Talk: Mending \nView Facebook LIVE  \nWe store the imprint of memory in our bodies. Some of this memory comes from personal experience\, and some we inherit from our ancestors. This online artist talk will discuss Mending\, a growing body of work consisting of video\, media installation\, sculpture\, performance documentation and cyanotype photography. The works confront Walter Benjamin’s patriarchal argument that one must intellectually excavate deep memory. The processes and components of Mending echo elemental transformation and visualize sensorial manifestations of embodied memory to gesture at reconciliatory ways of being with the aftermath of gendered\, transgenerational trauma.  \nDuring her virtual residency\, Tacie will be spending time in the hundred wooded acres next to her home\, mentally sketching\, taking videos and photographs for small series of fabric-based\, projection-mapped sculptures. \nAbout the Artist\nTacie Jones is an artist working in video\, media installation\, sculpture\, photography and socially-engaged practice. Her recent work explores ancestral embodiment by way of probing the juxtaposition between impermanence and materiality in the sensorial reconciliation of trauma. Her combined background in new media and studio art\, social practice and non-profit community work engage creativity and interconnection as catalysts for understanding the individual’s part in community resilience. Tacie holds a BFA in Studio Art from George Mason University\, an MRes (Master of Research) in Creative Practices from the Glasgow School of Art\, and an MFA in Creative Technologies from Virginia Tech. She is currently working toward an interdisciplinary PhD at Virginia Tech. She lives with her foodsmith partner\, tending their two pups and gardens in the mountainous countryside of Blacksburg\, Virginia.  \n \nBethany Arts Community’s residency programs are made possible by ArtsWestchester with support from Westchester County Government

SUMMARY:Virtual Artist In Residence: Karen Allen Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Artist Talk via Zoom:\nKaren Allen\, visual artist\, will share her inspirations and process for creating her works “Ark\, Totems and Vessels” and the “Under and Over the Allowable Limit”   \nZoom Link\nAbout the Artist\nKaren Allen paintings and drawings in acrylic\, oils and pastels are figurative abstractions. The inner feeling and meaning of what has inspired me visually is more important for me than careful rendering. I am \n\nlooking for both balance and contrast: to preserve the initial figurative trigger that inspired the work and to visually refine an essence of the feeling or “inner tug” that led me to that image. More and more I seem to be moving closer toward total abstraction. But I don’t feel that I will ever abandon my love of what I can see in the world around me with my eyes. It’s a fine balance … \nThe various collage elements which I sometimes use introduce an exploration of visual texture and personal historical intimacy. I look for balance and contrast between playfulness and considered graphic call and response during my painting process. Sometimes my working surfaces are 3 dimensional objects whose functionality becomes changed into an allegory or a metaphor. This is a clue of how and what the painting tells me about my interior life. Creating art is for me a contemplative process as well as a physical one. \nIn my work I am looking for visual paradoxes\, a crossing into an immensity of space that may have no relationship to the actual size of things. I am becoming even more interested in how change in physical scale changes a painting’s feelings and intentions. Aesthetically\, I am very interested in how pure painting ideas can be scaled to mural sized works in public spaces both to enhance architectural space and express something personal. Underlying all this is what I call my “second truth”. That is\, the positive and regenerative life force that I believe lies in the universe we inhabit. A universe so beautiful\, yet so full of tragedy\, disappointment and darwinian struggle. I am a very flawed and imperfect idealist who actually believes the act of creation by artists has something to do with our deepest calling to be whole. \n \nBethany Arts Community’s residency programs are made possible by ArtsWestchester with support from Westchester County Government
