Ival Stratford Kovner

Ival Stratfor Kovner, MFA '02 stopped by the exhibition by Moira Stott '04 at Washington Art Association. Ival said, "Mounira was showing her wonderfully spatial NYC paintings! We had not seen each other since a long ago Blue Mountain Gallery gathering for Westconn." Ival added, "Her aerial view of mist-shrouded Moscow was my favorite."

I received notification that I was accepted for the fall cohort of WCL and would receive $400 towards my application fee.

Executive Producer/Host
INSIDE NEW YORK
This is a very unique opportunity to intern on a television program, INSIDE NEW YORK, the the first and longest running TV program to feature a regular series on African Americans in the Arts and Entertainment, on MNN. As Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee state, "where you can catch the best in theater, music, film, and all of the arts!"
Whether it's backstage at the Tonys, Broadway, Off-Broadway, film premieres, gala museum and art openings, or the hottest fashion shows, jazz & R&B concerts, and dance performances - when there's a "happening" in town, INSIDE NEW YORK is there!
Because the program has been a trailblazer in Arts & Entertainment broadcasting for over 20 years on MNN, we've been offered a very rare opportunity to train students with hards-on TV production training and certification. However, INSIDE NEW YORK as are all others, are independent programs. MNN does not offer internships.

Mastering Pastels 9.95

In this new addition to the Artist's Library series, talented master artist, Alain Picard, guides the reader through an exploration of this unique medium and its myriad uses. After an introduction to tools and materials, readers will learn how to use various pastel techniques, including hatching, crosshatching, and stippling, to create depth and dimension in their artwork. Readers will also find basic information on color theory and how to use color to elicit emotion, portray mood or time of day, and suggest depth and distance. Throughout the course of the book, aspiring pastel artists will learn how to use soft and hard pastels to achieve art that is bold and intense or delicate and soft. Easy step-by-step lessons cover a variety of subject matter, including landscapes, portraits, and still lifes. Artist tips and tricks demonstrate how to blend and layer colors and create reflection, shadow, and soft and hard edges. With its breadth of professional instruction and variety of subjects to paint, Mastering Pastel is the perfect resource to start building artist proficiency in this enthralling and versatile medium.
