 NCCC Members,  This is a new opportunity:

We invite you to join us....    http://groups.yahoo.com/group/artapprenticeonline/   

 Dear Artist,

AAO Interactive is an expansion of our Online Classroom. In this new age of internet technology and online classes, it is easier to obtain art education now than ever before. It is within reach of nearly everyone. On the AAO, Art Apprentice Online website, our focus on interactive learning together with the launch of our new online classes has prompted us to further expand our art community.

This new expansion also includes an email 'group' format where your artistic growth and imagination will be engaged. We believe that effective and creative learning fosters inspiration and in turn motivates artists to paint.

You may have heard of a painting movement called A Painting a Day. This was started by another artist named Duane Keiser and adopted by several others. We were so inspired by this idea and thought we would like to begin something along the same line of thought. Not a painting per day, but a painting per week depending on the time you have and can spend with us.  

Surface Size - We would like to suggest very small surfaces, 3x5, 5x7 or 8x10. The basic goal of this is to get our brushes into paint and to paint as often as we can together, while exploring and experimenting and having fun with this. The more we paint the better we will get from practice and artistic self confidence.  

The Subjects - We would like to begin with simple items found around our homes or studios. Subjects can be a slice of toast, a single berry, a bobbin of thread to a single bloom from your garden. We are going to begin with a Raspberry. Paint it with what ever style you want, 'Just paint it!' 

Share your work - We have created a folder on our new group where you may share your finished mini-paintings for input. All artists are welcome to join us for this fun exercise. We will be painting ours with Traditions Resin Acrylics. 

So..................we invite you to join us....and Just Paint it!
