Onslow County... All County Arts

Artists... Bernie Rosage Jr., Stephen Greer, Mitchell Morton and Janet Nickle had the honor of working with over 40 of the best high school artists in Onslow County. We gave a "painting from life" workshop in four different 1 hour 45 minute "break out" sessions. The event is called "All County Arts" and brings together the best artists from each high school in the county for a weekend of collaboration and workshops to celebrate these young artists and promote the arts in our community. The event is headed up by Janae Copeland, Education Coordinator for Arts in the Onslow County Schools, and all the Onslow County high school art teachers. They did a GREAT job in organizing this event which is in its fourth year.

Workshop... HUGE success!

 

"Van Gogh" Workshop for Kids... January 22, 2013. A huge success... nobody ate paint or cut their ear off... and everyone created a "Starry Night" Masterpiece!

What a JOY it was teaching these young artists today at the "Van Gogh" Workshop. They were superb artists and students! Thank you kids for a GREAT day! A special thanks to the parents for allowing their children to go on this "Van Gogh" adventure with me!

In Art,
Bernie

A great way to end the year!

I spent the last day of the year painting with a dear artist friend, Clayton Proctor, in his studio gallery in West Jefferson, North Carolina. Had a GREAT time... Thanks Clayton! Check out his work on his webpage... HERE...
