Outdoor Art Show Second Day with Tropical Storm Ophelia.Today is the last day of the outdoor art show of . It was still raining heavily and windy today. There were also areas where tents were damaged due to the effects of a tropical storm Ophelia. I could hear the sound of something falling and rolling here and there from the strong wind. There was so much water on the floor that it was difficult to walk without wearing boots. Today I wore boots and was fully armed for the weather. If the weather was good, the road would sparkle with bright sunlight, but now it is flooded with water, and the sky is overcast, making the surrounding area as dark as evening. Everyone was seen wearing raincoats and moving around busily. Here and there, companies were seen withdrawing their tents or moving to other locations because their tents were damaged. What would it have been like if the weather had been nice? I thought about this for a while. But I know it well. Even in these harsh environments, art lovers come to look around the booth and buy paintings with their eyes sparkling beautifully. I also know that the beauty of their pure eyes is more beautiful than my painting. And every year I prepare an art show because I want to feel their soul. I took a video to see how hard it was raining. Rain was flowing down the tent. Still, despite this weather, the artists did not give up and set up booths and exhibited their works. When I attend art shows, I usually use the long tables under the big tent. Of course, there are companies and artists who bring their own tents and set them up in places where people can easily see them. Although the participation fee is higher, this is also a good idea because it gives them more exposure to collectors and customers. But I like booths where everyone is gathered in a tent. Here, I can meet artists who draw and love art, see them in person, and talk to them. And there are certain things I learn when I look at them. And after the art show is over, I can learn what attitude I should have as an artist and what I should work harder on. This helps me grow further as an great artist. Two artists stood out to me at this art show. One is an artist, Vicky Kowalczyk who creates amazing Mandalas by carefully placing acrylic dots on large, round wooden boards, one by one. With her intense concentration, she turned the board and stamped dots on the circle one by one. Her work has a mystique that makes the viewer feel as if it is leading to another dimension, spinning from the center of a large circle to the outside. Most of all, I loved the large Mandela she had placed outside the table. I could definitely feel the strong energy from Mandela. Another artist, Kathleen Deyo exhibited with beautifully colored scarves and paintings. One of her paintings, "Black Angel", caught my eye and I visited her website to see her paintings in more detail. I thought that her paintings told a story like reading a children's book, so I was drawn to their specialness and looked up her website. I think I found the answer by looking at the picture below. She probably wanted to tell stories from the lives of ordinary people. Meeting people who share your passion for art can be incredibly rewarding, as it provides an opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals who understand the value and importance of art in our lives.
Art shows often serve as a reminder that art has the power to bring people together, spark conversations, and evoke emotions regardless of the external conditions. It's a testament to the enduring appeal of art and its ability to unite individuals who appreciate its significance. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all of you who showed incredible resilience by braving the rain and wind to visit my booth in art show. Your presence, support, and enthusiasm meant the world to me and my students. Your willingness to explore our art, purchase my paintings, and share words of encouragement warmed our hearts on that otherwise dreary day. Your support is not only a testament to your love for art but also a source of inspiration for us to continue pursuing our passion. Thank you for making our art show a memorable and meaningful experience. Your generosity and support will forever be cherished.

Outdoor Art Show with rainy day!Tropical Storm Ophelia is set to affect Long Island this weekend, according to the National Weather Service (NWS). The art show was held in these adverse weather conditions. This is because it was a show that took place regardless of whether it rained or the sun shined. The registration fee will not be refunded even if it rains. If it just rains, you have to sell the painting even in those conditions. In some ways, this seems similar to the life of an artist. No one cares about our situation. We just have to hold on and find our own way as artists. Artists must find their own way. Therefore, an independent person must become an artist. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to make a living. Anyway, we had to set up the booth under these conditions. From early in the morning, we worked hard to set the table perfectly. I took care to keep the paintings from blowing away in the wind and tried not to get them wet in the rain. This exhibition was a show showcasing the works of two students I raised, Olivia and Cindy. I also placed the two students' accessories and picture. It would have been nice if the table had been much bigger, but I still wanted to share my career with my students and climb the first step of the stairs with the intention of giving them a better experience as a professional artist. The show opened at 10 a.m. and almost no people came to see it until 2 o'clock. It turned out that the weather was such that there was even a warning to avoid going outside as much as possible. Exhibitor looked outside and sighed. The rain was pouring down and the wind was blowing. The standing paintings fell over several times, and the sound of paintings and props flying here and there was heard. The clouds were thick and it was so dark that you had to carry a flashlight to see. Is it really possible to sell a painting under these circumstances? In this situation, one experience came to mind. When I was exhibiting at a local gallery, there was a pandemic and strong winds caused a tree to fall and block the gallery entrance. However, despite the adverse circumstances, a woman bought my painting. I was very surprised to hear this from the curator, and I started drawing even harder after that. Because it was for this one woman. If you love painting and art so much, under these conditions, would you come out to buy paintings instead of buying bread? I always try to remember the beautiful and clear mind of such a painting lover. And no matter how bad the weather was, I didn't worry too much from then on. Because I would be happy to meet just one person like that. Even under these adverse conditions, I set up the table and laid out the paintings for that one person. The customers who bought the painting today will be people I will remember for a long time. The lady who bought the Johnson Beach painting below visited my booth during the windiest time. She told me that she grew up here and had many memories. I love art shows where I can talk directly with customers. And the memorable lady looked at the picture below and picked and bought it as if appreciating a beautiful flower. I remember her eyes shining so beautifully. I also remember the person who visited just before the end when the wind and rain was pouring down like crazy. It was a day when the meeting between the artist who sold a painting while it was raining and windy and the customer who came through the wind and rain to buy it felt like a miracle. It was a day that warmed my heart only because of my love for paintings and art. The weather is not good tomorrow as well, but I will try to finish well like a person enjoying a festival. Pumpkin Art 2023 by Myungja Anna Koh!This year we are featuring Pumpkin Art. Every time I make pumpkin art, I feel like time flies. It really feels like fall is coming now. Gesture Scene Exercise: "Unexpected Art"Guys, today we will imagine that you are an artist, create a short scene about the problems that arise when creating or exhibiting a work, and then learn how to act out the subsequent gestures. In this class, you will learn how to create a short scene yourself, how to solve the problem as an artist when something unexpected happens, and how to show how to solve the problem through gestures. Objective: Students will be able to create short scenes containing problems that artists encounter daily and make gestures to solve these problems as artists. 1. The teacher will ask students to form teams, with one student partnering up to play the artist's role and the other trying to ruin the artist's painting. 2. The teacher will ask students to create a short scene about the following situation. To make such a scene, students can sit together in groups and discuss with each other through brainstorming. a. Create a problem for the scene. For example, the artist finished the painting, signed it nicely, and went out awhile. But in the meantime, a child came and scribbled on the work. Or an artist exhibited their work. The price is over a million dollars. The result is a banana hanging on the wall. But a child came and ate the banana. b. Try to create a conversation of at least five lines about situation one above. For example: - Artist: The work is finally complete. It's a masterpiece that took five years to paint. I have to sign nicely. (After signing his signature, he leaves) - Child: Oh! There's an excellent picture here! Maybe he needs some help. (Doodles on the painting) - Artist: (Reappears on stage and looks at the painting) Oh my god! What's this? -Child: I helped you. (Shrugs) -Artist: What should I do about this problem? c. Each partner practices this situation. The teacher guides students' actions. d. Afterwards, the teacher will instruct each team to perform the problem-solving action following line five above. They will then be instructed to write down the specifics of this movement on the board or in a notebook. The teacher will give them about 30 minutes to discuss. 5. Rehearsal time: Students will work in teams of two each and perform five lines of dialogue and 1 line of gestures about the situation that occurred. For example, in the case of the gesture in number 2, the student will become an artist and create a beautiful redrawing scene using black lines. Or you might create a setting where your child perfectly recreates an artist's painting. 6. Rehearsal will last 20 minutes. After the rehearsal, the students all sat in a circle and discussed and discussed with each other which moves they liked and which ones seemed to solve the problem better. Rating scale: -The student perfectly understood and executed the five-line situational dialogue and subsequent gestures. -The student completed five lines of situational dialogue but did not match the subsequent gestures. -The student needed to make an effort to collaborate with other students to create lines or make gestures. I got the idea for my lesson plan from a lecture at The Kennedy Center called 'Unexpected Art with Stephanie Krause T' presented in the module. In her words, artists find inspiration from everywhere, and everything, and her video lectures show how one simple shape can be transformed into a variety of results. Her artistic philosophy and teaching method were attractive enough to give me, as an artist, an idea to unite art and theater. Stephanie guides viewers through turning one drawing into three using folded paper and a little imagination. It would be good to use the life of an artist like Stephanie's imagination to have students create gestures that solve the problems of the scene. Also, in the Drama menu, through Theater Game #68 - The Creature, we discovered that teachers need vivid, realistic depictions of what's happening in the present to bring out artistic expression through theater. This keyword will help students with various levels and experiences in the classroom focus on their classes without falling behind. For example, in The Creature, the teacher instructs a team to move from awakening to dying as if they were one body. His language is concise, but the storyline is poetic, understandable, and vivid. So students can predict what happens next and move as a team. You will learn that these explicit and simple instructions can help you become more immersed in the play and increase your understanding. In this sense, students can naturally produce the next gesture by showing more detailed and vivid examples as a teacher. So, I included striking examples that would serve as samples in my plan.
