How does the land shape people\u2026.and how do people shape the land? On July 29, Friends of Rogers will host another session of \u201cThe Artist As Naturalist,\u201d a three-part series which focuses on art as a personal experience with nature, and how one\u2019s own individual experiences influence artistic creation.<\/p>\n

\u201cNatural Impressions: Gelatin Plate Monoprinting\u201d will be held from 1 until 3:30 pm at Rogers Environmental Education Center in Sherburne. Using materials from the forest floor, students will be introduced to monoprinting, a direct printmaking process that results in unique, one of a kind prints pulled from a gelatin plate surface. This surface allows for unlimited experimentation with color, overlays, found materials, and stencil materials that gives each person an immediate sense of accomplishment and success. Instruction and initial guided practice in several techniques will be demonstrated before independent work session begins.<\/p>\n

Arts Educator Donnalynn Shuster is facilitating this new series, made possible with public funds from the Chenango Arts Council\u2019s Decentralization Program, a re-grant program of the NYS Council on the Arts, with support from Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the NYS Legislature. Shuster holds Bachelor\u2019s and Master\u2019s degrees from SUNY Potsdam\u2019s School of Education.<\/p>\n

She has diverse experience in\u00a0visual arts education, with a public-school teaching career spanning thirty-six years. A prolific artist, Shuster\u2019s work received awards from the Cooperstown Art Association Regional Exhibition, the Mohawk Valley Center for the Arts Canal Days Regional Show, the New York State Art Teacher\u2019s Association Members Exhibition, the New York State Federation of China Painters Porcelain Painting\u00a0School, and the NYSATA Central Section Members Show.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very excited that Donnalynn is leading this dynamic program,\u201d said Simon Solomon, executive director. \u201cShe will provide unique insight and guidance for participants as they seek to experience the outdoors as an extension of their own creative expression.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNatural Impressions: Gelatin Plate Monoprinting\u201d is recommended for ages 13 and older. Pre-registrations are due by noon on July 28; admission is $10 for per member and $12. All materials are included.<\/p>\n
