Art Workshop with Ginny Abblett -Simplicity, a Key to BeautyIn this six hour workshop we will explore the building blocks of composition, value and color as we create our own works of art. Demonstrations will be done in pastel and you may work in whatever medium you choose - pastel, watercolor, oil, acrylic. It is my belief that less rather than more is a wise path to follow when making art. If one avoids clutter and instead creates a strong composition, the path to a compelling painting opens. Ginny Abblett teaches art in Taos, New Mexico and in Denver at The Denver Botanic Gardens, The Park Hill Art Club and hosts private lessons at Ginny Abblett Fine Art at 910 Santa Fe Drive. The Basics of Composition 9am-noon• Composition samples and detective work • Shapes rather than clutter • A strong center of interest • Ginny’s demo • Student practice with one on one assistance What is Value, Anyhow? 1-4pm• Explanation and examples of value and a strong composition • Color and value - what’s the difference? • Teacher Demonstration • Student work with one on one assistance • Gentle Critiques, Clean up, QuestionsLocation: GPCRC Pool Party Room Instructor: Ginny Abblett MIN/MAX: 4/10 Activity # Age Day Date Time Fee(ID/OD) 343109-A 16+ Sa 9/15 9:00P-4:00P $35/$40

By assessing these patterns, the FMS identifies functional limitations and asymmetries. These are issues that can reduce the effects of functional training and physical conditioning and distort body awareness. The FMS generates the Functional Movement Screen Score, which is used to target problems and track progress. This scoring system is directly linked to the most beneficial cor-rective exercises to restore mechanically sound movement patterns. The FMS score is used to track progress and identify those exercises that will be most effective to restore proper movement and build strength. Instructors: John Florkiewicz or Lucy Lozar
