10:30 – Noon: Educational Program ~ George Herman, Relief Sculpture and 3D Printing
George Herman will be speaking to us about his artistic journey from 3-D paintings to sculptures and what has inspired him over the years. George is a Vietnam war veteran and brings that experience plus many others to his artwork. Mr. Herman has received numerous awards for his two-dimensional drawings and paintings over the years. He works with graphite pencil, charcoal, pastel, acrylic and oil as well as paints on steel with fire. The Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 318 has recently commissioned a life-sized bronze statue honoring Vietnam Veterans that is displayed at the New Mexico Veteran’s Memorial in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Mark Woody will be doing a mini-drawing session after George's presentation. He will work from a live model (a volunteer from the audience) to do a quick sketch. Woody will also provide tips for quick sketches of people and how he transforms them into graphic images. Woody has been an artist for 50 years exploring cartooning, ceramics, oil painting, and drawing. He taught art in New Mexico for 20 years and developed programs for public school students.
