Michelangelo:
The QUILL - Bald Eagle Art League’s Monthly Newsletter
2017 1475-1564
Born on March 6, 1475, in Caprese, Italy, Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni was a Renaissance sculptor, painter, draftsman, architect, and poet. Michelangelo was thought of as the greatest living artist in his lifetime, and is considered to be one of the greatest artists of all time.Michelangelo’s final work in marble, the “Rondanini Pietà,” was left unfinished. He died in Rome on February 18, 1564 at the age of 88. This Quill is laid out a bit different. I wanted to feature some brochures important to the members.

Program: Glass & Your Garden For our next BEAL meeting, Deb Parsons will demonstrate her art of glass fusion. May 4, 7pm, at the Taber Museum. By-the-way, this will be our last meeting until September. What’s been happening? Wen Redmond was our artist guest in April: Creating Digital Fiber Art. Unbelievable! What an unusually talented artist. Unusual in the fact that the art is so unique. Anyone interested in working digitally with fabric, shouldn’t have missed this artist. Janet Sherman was our March artist at the Genetti Grille Gallery. She not only had lovely art but tasty treats to eat while viewing her art. And the show was well attended. I have posted the brochures I have received but I didn’t mention the Members Only Show at the Genetti for August & September, because it was in last month’s Quill. Basically the theme is WATER, anything that has to do with WATER. Do not make it too big. No more than 30” on the biggest side. I am going to add one page of WATER ideas in this Quill. Last year when I named the ‘Glimpse of Williamsport’ Show, I know a lot of people were perplexed and wanted me to give them ideas. Well, I wouldn’t because that is part of the creative process. So, I thought, I would show you some example of WATER ideas. Can’t hurt and maybe we’ll have more people enter.
