17th January – 1st March 2015. A second exhibition by the art group from Settle School.
Students from Settle College have created Vibrant and bold Art works on the Theme of” Fauvism in the Dales” They have been encouraged to recreate the use of energetic and intense colours seen in the art works of the Fauvist Artists. Fauvism was the first twentieth-century movement in modern art. Inspired by the examples of van Gogh, Gauguin, Seurat and their use of paint application and ideas about colour. Henri Matisse was eventually recognized as the leader of Les Fauves, or “The Wild Beasts,” they emphasized the use of intense colour as a means of expression for describing light and space, as well as attempting to capture a sense of emotion. A range of different techniques from paintings to Photoshop has been adopted by the students.
1st March – 11th April 2015
Using a camera, photographs and computer software to create art, D.J. Kelday’s work is known as photo-manipulation.
“In today’s world where the computer is everywhere it seemed to be the best way to move my art forward.”
A natural progression in the digital age.
“I like to capture a thought, an emotion for others to see. I enjoy using darker tones, I hope it draws you into my work and lets you feel as well as see the image.”
11th April to 27th June 2015
Joining forces for the first time Paul Rogers and Roger Taylor explore and speculate on the public’s preoccupation with photographing themselves and others and on the photographer’s role as performer in the production of the image. The images are observations of the photographer’s contribution to the drama of the production of the image ; acting out their own part in the scene; you know the sort of thing…front leg out…back leg back…knees slightly bent…a slight stoop…and others?
27th June – 15th August 2015
