Join an evening of sketching, community, and inspiration centered around themes found in the exhibition Homecoming: Walter Osborne’s Portraits of Dublin, 1880–1900. This month’s session will focus on field drawing in the Charles B. Hayes Family Sculpture Park (weather location in the galleries) and will be led by local artist Kelly Harrington. Come ready to share a sketch (sketches should be no larger than 9” x 12”) of your own, created in response to this prompt: Choose one natural object—either living or inanimate—from your own yard or a location nearby to draw from life. This could be anything that catches your eye: a leaf, a feather, a rock, a branch, a patch of moss, or even an insect or small plant. Use any drawing medium you’re comfortable with. Your drawing can be quick and expressive or more detailed and precise—but work only while observing the object in real time. Limit your drawing session to no more than one hour to keep the focus on direct observation. On the same page as your drawing, be sure to include the following:The location (where you found or observed the object)The time of dayThe name of the object, if you know itAny notes or reflections on what you discovered while drawingBefore you finish, take a clear photograph of your subject to bring with you to our next session. During the program, we’ll share sketches, discuss artistic choices and techniques, find inspiration in each other’s and Osborne’s work, and take on a new sketching challenge inspired by this month’s theme. Local Lines is open to artists aged 15 and up. This program is part of The Big Draw, the world's largest drawing celebration, which takes place across the globe every year in October. It is for anyone who loves to draw, as well as those who think they can't. The festival promotes drawing as a universal language that has the power to change lives and unite people of any age, background, race, or religion from around the globe.

MFA Students Pick Some Films for Us to WatchDirected by Giuseppe Patroni GriffiWith Elizabeth Taylor, Ian Bannen, Andy WarholNot Rated, 105 minutesIn English and Italian with English subtitlesWith a scheduled introduction by Paul Cunningham, the Creative Writing Program manager, Department of English.In what remains the most obscure, bizarre, and wildly misunderstood film of her entire career—and perhaps even 1970s Italian cinema—Identikit (aka The Driver's Seat) stars Elizabeth Taylor as a disturbed woman who arrives in Rome to find a fragmented city. From there, Taylor navigates autocratic law, leftist violence, and her own increasingly unhinged mission to find the most dangerous liaison of all. Oscar® nominee Ian Bannen (The Offence), Mona Washbourne (The Collector), and Andy Warhol (!!!) co-star in this hallucinatory neo-noir, which was photographed by three-time Oscar® winner Vittorio Storaro (Apocalypse Now, The Last Emperor).
