New Year, New Space!

Photo of the Week

Roughly 40 College of the Arts faculty, staff and students braved a cold, wintry evening to have a first look at the new OSU Urban Arts Space downtown. The visitors had a chance to check out the newly completed gallery spaces in the former Lazarus building prior to installation of Midnight Robbers: The Artists of Notting Hill Carnival, which opens Feb 5. The photo, looking down into the lower gallery from outside on Town Street, was taken by Adam King of OnCampus.

A glowing review in the Flute Network's December issue had this to say about the CD Paradise: Music for Flute and Harp: "Katherine Borst Jones . . . and Jeanne Norton (Music) have produced a splendid recording of some of the most beautiful and treasured works in the repertoire with a balance of moods and composers which puts the listener at ease and yet still draws them into the sensuous web they spin. The overall mood is one of quiet intensity and Borst Jones brings out every nuance and color with her delicate phrasing, limpid tone and floating legato tone. Her flute playing is just so open, lyrical, musical and technically sound. Harpist Norton is likewise a superb musician and performer. She is a sensitive and simpatico duo partner so that the two match their attacks, dymanic and tempos perfectly. Truly, this is the music of angels and comes to us from on high while both calming and lifting up our spirits."

Painting Tip

Try not to divide any element in your artwork in half. This especially includes the temperature of the painting.

What I mean is - it shouldn't be half warm and half cool. Warm colors are like fire - red, orange, yellow and brown. Cool colors are like water and grass - blue and green.

If your painting is mostly warm, add a little cool for contrast. If it's mostly cool, add a little warm to spice it up.
