When you reach pages 20 and 21 in this issue
of the Magazine you will find something new. It
is a list of all those who supported the Museum
financially in 2015. In the past we have personally
acknowledged everyone who has become a member
of the Museum, made a gift to the Annual Appeal,
participated in one of our special events or programs,
or supported the Museum in some other way.
From time to time we also have published lists of
those who contributed to a specific appeal, project,
or event. Both of these practices will continue. But as Simma Liebman who
chairs our Board Development Committee describes in her “Board Perspective”
column in this issue, we want to take the opportunity to thank all of you
collectively. From now on we plan to do that by publishing a report of Annual
Giving in the Spring issue of the Magazine.
I am sure that like me, you will be impressed by the 2015 report. The breadth
of support is stunning. It’s one thing to look at the contributed income line
on a budget and quite another to look at the two full pages of the names of
the individuals whose support makes up that contributed income. If anyone
ever questioned the oft heard boast that ours is a community that generously
supports its cultural institutions, this list should lay that doubt to rest. But what
also strikes me as I look over the list is that every individual on it has her or his
own personal reasons for supporting the Academy Art Museum. Some of you
value the classes we offer. Others enjoy our varied but always high quality loan
exhibitions. Our annual shows of work by members and by children in Talbot,
Caroline, Dorchester, and Queen Anne’s Counties inspire those members and
donors who treasure us as a community art museum. Our wonderful programs
of musical performances and lectures on a wide range of subjects have prompted
others. And some of you contribute because you believe that the arts, especially
the visual arts, must have a place in the community you love. Whatever your
reason for supporting the Academy Art Museum, we can’t and your community
can’t thank you enough.

Paulette Tavormina lives and works in New York City. Amidst the bustle that defines
the city, she can often be found at one of its many farmers markets searching for
the perfectly imperfect flora that characterize her photographs. Her arrangements
often recall the sumptuous detail of seventeenth century Old Master still life painters
and serve as intensely personal interpretations of timeless, universal stories. With a
painterly perspective reminiscent of Francisco de Zurbarán, Adriaen Coorte, and
Giovanna Garzoni, Tavormina creates worldly still lifes.
Tavormina’s photographs are in museums, corporate, and private collections, and have
been exhibited in Paris, London, Moscow, Lugano, New York, Los Angeles, Palm
Beach, Boston, and San Francisco. She also works as a commercial photographer,
photographing works of art for Sotheby’s, collaborating with The Fabulous Beekman
Boys on three cookbooks, and taking commissions from The New York Times and
National Geographic magazine, among others.
Prior to becoming a fine art photographer, Tavormina was a prop and food stylist for major Hollywood films, working on movies such as The Perfect Storm, Nixon, and The Astronaut’s Wife. Tavormina’s first monograph, Paulette Tavormina: Seizing Beauty (The Monacelli Press, New York, 2016), which features an essay by Anke Van Wagenberg, will be released in April 2016.

Robert Rauschenberg:
ROCI Works from the National Gallery of Art
Robert Rauschenberg: ROCI Works from the National
Gallery of Art is the first exhibition of ROCI artworks in
Maryland. As one of America’s most iconic 20th-century
artists, Rauschenberg (1925 – 2008) was a painter and
graphic artist whose early works anticipated the Pop Art
movement. He is best known for his Combines of the
1950s, in which non-traditional materials and objects
were employed in innovative combinations.
The Rauschenberg Overseas Culture Interchange
(ROCI, pronounced “Rocky,” the name of the artist’s
pet turtle) was established in 1985 to enable and
support Rauschenberg’s collaborations with artisans
and workshops abroad to promote world peace and
understanding. Over a six-year period Rauschenberg
created works in host countries all over the world to
include in exhibitions in each country and donating a
work of art to each location. Rauschenberg personally
funded the project. Announced at the United Nations in
1984, ROCI involved the artist making and presenting
work while traveling through 11 countries, including
China, Tibet, the U.S.S.R. and former East Germany, as a
way to foster cross-cultural dialogue.
“He is trying to introduce the world to itself,'' said ROCI
artistic director and Easton resident Donald Saff. The
Museum’s main galleries feature the ROCI artworks from
the National Gallery of Art. This will be the first time that
these ROCI artworks have been exhibited together since
the presentation in Washington, DC, in 1991.
Also featured is Rauschenberg: Kyoto, Sri Lanka, and Thai
Drawings and The ROCI Road to Peace: Experiments in
the Unfamiliar which explores what a modern day ROCI
might look like and how it would exist in today’s social,
political and technological landscape. Like Rauschenberg’s
original ROCI, the hope is to improve understanding
and strive for deeper acceptance through illuminating the
foreign and exotic in the mundane.

John Ruppert: Grounded
Sculptor John Ruppert’s recent work on display at the Museum includes
elegant shapes he forms from chain-link fabric and cast metals. As a
great technician with a passion for blurring the lines between natural
and man-made materials, Ruppert uses cast metals such as iron,
aluminum, copper, or bronze to explore this idea. This is evident in
the set of Pumpkins displayed in the Museum’s front yard, which are
cast in various metals. At first glance, it is hard to distinguish between
the different types of metal. Ruppert’s cast Pumpkins, which are in
several collections on the West and East Coasts, including Grounds for
Sculpture, Trenton, NJ and now in Easton.
John Ruppert was born in Winchester, MA, in 1951. As a child he
lived in Amman, Jordan and became fascinated with archeology. He
traveled extensively in the region visiting sites and participating in
excavations. Experiencing the digs and seeing the remains of ancient
cities and civilizations in the barren landscapes has had a lasting effect
on his artwork.
Ruppert received his BA in Art and Art Education from Miami
University, Oxford, OH, in 1974, and his MFA from the School for
American Craftsman, Rochester Institute of Technology, New York, in
1977. Ruppert has been a full-time faculty member at the University
of Maryland, College Park, since 1987 and served as Chair of the Art
Department from 1998 to 2012.

Resist-ground etching and engraving, and direct photographic transfer

Peter Winslow Milton (1930) is a major force in the printmaking
world. He was born in Lower Merion, PA. He studied under
Josef Albers at Yale University where he graduated with an MFA
in 1961. Milton began his artistic life as a painter, but by the
mid 1960s his color blindness suggested that giving up paint and
color for texture might prove a happier course. He has taught at
Yale and the Maryland Institute of Art, served as visiting artist
at Dartmouth, Columbia, Yale, and the Rhode Island School of
Design, as well as many other schools, and has been honored by
awards at international exhibitions including Cali, Seoul, Lvov
and Cracow.
Using etching and engraving techniques, Milton developed a
concern less for the surface appearance of objects, but rather
for the explication of their underlying, substantive qualities.
Milton conveys meaning through a contextual environment
of people, places, and moments in time. He is a creator of
black and white etchings and engravings that often display an
extraordinary degree of photo-realistic detail placed in the service
of a truly visionary aesthetic. His themes include architecture,
history, myth, and memory, their intersections and hidden
juxtapositions.
Milton’s work has been exhibited in most major museums in
the United States and Europe, including the Metropolitan
Museum of Art and the Museum of Modern Art, New York,
the British Museum and the Tate Gallery, London, and the
Bibliothèque Nationale, Paris. Two book collections of his work
have been published: The Primacy of Touch: The Drawings of
Peter Milton (New York: Hudson Hills Press, 1993) and Peter
Milton: Complete Prints 1960-1996 (San Francisco: Chronicle
Books, 1996). Peter Milton resides in California. The Academy
Art Museum has six prints by Peter Milton in the Permanent
Collection. The exhibition was made possible with support from
Jane Haslem in Washington, DC and The Old Print Shop in
New York.
Calvert Gallery
March 19 - August 7, 2016
During his life time, Washington resident Grover Batts donated
close to 200 works on paper to the Museum, thereby influencing the
Museum'scollecting direction the Museum might take. Upon his death
in July 2014 Mr. Batts left dozens of artworks to the Museum. His
magnanimous gift includes works by renowned late 19th and 20th
century American and European artists. Mr. Batts’s connection to the
Museum went back many years to when he and his partner owned a
summer home in Bellevue, MD and became familiar with the Museum.
Mr. Batts worked at the Library of Congress where his interest in the
LC’s art exhibitions started his own passion for collecting. His Capitol
Hill home was filled with art, most of which now has found a home at
our Museum. Mr. Batts has said, “I get a thrill out of giving and I love
to see my gifts appreciated.” A first selection of this major gift will be
on view in the Calvert Gallery.

Members’ Reception April 22, 2016, 5:30-7:30pm
The Museum is pleased to present its annual Mid-Shore Student Art
Exhibitions. These exhibitions highlight the artistic talents of students
in grades K-12 from Talbot, Caroline, Dorchester, and Queen Anne’s
counties. As in past years, visitors can expect a variety of media, including
painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, and printmaking. The MidShore Student Art Exhibitions have been a Museum tradition for over 25
years and are the largest and most prestigious student art exhibitions on
the Eastern Shore.
This year, ALL grades will exhibit their art at the same time.
Drop off for student work:
In order for the Museum to keep the work separate during installation,
drop off days will be different for K-8 and 9-12 students.
Drop off for K-8 Students:
Wednesday, March 9, 9:30-5pm. Please no drop offs after these dates.
Brooke Rogers grew up in Ocean City, MD. After
college in suburban Chicago, he studied with Abstract
Expressionist Grace Hartigan at the Maryland Institute.
He earned his MFA from MICA in 1992. He stayed in
Baltimore for a time, taught at MICA and established a
painting studio of his own. Brooke moved back to Ocean
City in the 1990s and currently teaches at Salisbury
University. He maintained a studio in New York City
for ten years, and has exhibited his work widely in the
Mid-Atlantic region. He lives in the house he grew up in.
Living near the ocean is an important influence on his
work, which has ranged from abstraction in a reductive
vein, to a somewhat cartoony figuration. Minimalism and
Pop Art have held sway over his work in a back-and-forth
manner. Abstraction has won out in recent years.
The diamond patterns in Brooke Rogers’ paintings and
drawings read like an exploded view of the landscape, the
hazy horizon reflected in each tile of the diagonal grid.
His handmade gradients, though slick at first glance,
have a touchable surface belying a personality behind the
pattern. The phrase, “in the offing” is a nautical term,
referring to that region of the ocean that can be seen from
shore, but is closer to the horizon than to land, bridging
earth and sky. His drawings create the illusory effect
of glaring light on a sun-bleached seascape, multiplied
over and over. The illusion, however, is created through
the humblest of means, powdered graphite rubbed into
the surface of the paper with the aid of a simple square
stencil. Creating complexity and mystery through
straightforward methods is Rogers’ way of finding the
infinite in the everyday.
Drop off for 9-12 Students:
Thursday, March 10, 9:30-5pm. Please no drop offs after these dates.

PECIAL EVENTS
Congratulations to Dock Street Foundation for their presentation of:
Ruth Starr Rose (1887-1965):
Revelations of African American
Life in Maryland
April 29 - June 19, 2016
in the Waterfowl Building
This comprehensive exhibition of artist Ruth Starr Rose (1887-1965) offers a
rare glimpse into African American life at the turn of the century on Maryland’s
Eastern Shore. Many of the subjects are descendants of Frederick Douglass
and Harriet Ross Tubman. From the area's most noted black sail maker, to
professional female crab pickers, to heroic soldiers, the portraits speak of selfpossessed people who were proud of their station in life. Rose's subjects are
portrayed with a dignity and compassion that is rarely seen during this period of
art history. For this reason, the work also offers a historical record of daily African
American life on the Eastern Shore.

One day each year people all over the world visit local museums
and galleries to look at art slowly. Participants look at five works
of art for 10 minutes each and then meet together over lunch to
talk about their experience. That’s it. Simple by design, the goal is
to focus on the art and the art of seeing.
In fact, Slow Art Day works best when people look at the art on
their own slowly and then meet up to discuss the experience.
Senior Curator Anke Van Wagenberg will lead the Museum’s Slow
Art Day, evaluating five artworks from the Museum’s Permanent
Collection. Simply come the Academy Art Museum on this date,
look at five pieces of art slowly, and take part in the discussion
afterwards. You can also continue your experience over lunch in a
local venue or by bringing a brown bag lunch to the Museum.
For further information, contact Anke Van Wagenberg at
410-822-2787 or at avanwagenberg academyartmuseum.org.

Welcome back to Magnificent
Movie Music Part II!
The Academy Art Museum and Dr.
Rachel Franklin are thrilled to present
The Sequel to last spring’s wildly
successful Symphony Study course on
film music. Once more, we’ll delve
into the hidden heartbeat of film, the
score, and marvel at how our entire
emotional experience is driven by our
subconscious response to the music.
From the very advent of talkies,
composers concealed behind the
screen action have subtly shaped our
view of world events, national identity
and personal relationships. That’s
power!
Now that AAM patrons are all serious
movie music buffs, we’re going to
enjoy a deeper musical excursion
into four much loved genres of film
music: Westerns, Comedy, History
and Romance. Some films belong in
several categories, so don’t be surprised
if your favorite historic film shows up
in Romance!
February 25 - Westerns
“A Steppe Is a Steppe!” (or Would You Like Beans with Your Spaghetti?)
The sons of immigrants from Eastern Europe created the mighty West in music,
but this fabulous rip-roaring tradition underwent a massive cultural sea change after
the arrival of Italian “Spaghetti” Westerns. The stirring scores that had traditionally
accompanied John Wayne and Gary Cooper were overshadowed by strange, evocative
electronic sound tracks by Ennio Morricone that reflect the radically different moral
view of a lone, and distinctly less appealing ranger. Finally, the myth of the West
returns in full glory, musically and culturally reminted through an Englishman’s
romantic score for Dances With Wolves.
Films discussed include: High Noon, The Magnificent Seven, The Good, the Bad
and the Ugly, and Dances With Wolves
PLEC9501-02
March 3 - Comedy
Can Music Make You Laugh?
Can film music be intrinsically funny by itself? Do we laugh at kazoos and
trombones, or does the art lie in underpinning a film with irony or “Mickey
Mousing” techniques? One person’s comedy is another one’s cringe. How does a
composer write for cartoons or slapstick, and does a comedy score have to be actively
funny at all?
Films discussed include: It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, Breakfast at Tiffany’s,
Young Frankenstein, Chicken Run, and 9 to 5
PLEC9601-03
March 10 - History
Corsets, Kilts and Swashbuckles
If it’s Handel, it must be corsets. But film scores set in former times can cover the
gamut from frothy pirate romances to painful ethnic conflict and colonization. They
might be fictional or fairly true to history; no matter. Great composers create music
that persuades us we’re experiencing history, identity and culture – but is it really all
in the mind?
Films discussed include: The Madness of King George, The Mission, The Spirit of
St. Louis, Braveheart, and The Sea Hawk
PLEC9602-03
March 17 - Romance
The Food of Love Is a Fabulous Film Score
Two words: bring Kleenex.
Films discussed include:
Casablanca,
Brief Encounter,
Out of Africa,
Romeo and
Juliet, The
Umbrellas of
Cherbourg, and Dr.
Zhivago

POTLIGHT
Museum’s ArtReach Program Receives
Grant from Mid-Shore Community
Foundation
By Amy Blades Steward
The Museum’s ArtReach program has touched the lives of over
10,000 students, teachers, and chaperones on the Mid Shore
over the past four years alone. ArtReach offers students in
Talbot, Caroline, Dorchester and Queen Anne’s counties the
opportunity to tour an exhibition at the Museum and then work
on a related visual arts project that they can take back to school.
The Museum recently received a $25,000 grant from the MidShore Community Foundation’s Artistic Insights Fund to help
cover the costs of these educational field trips for students on the
Mid Shore.
ArtReach is the heart and soul of the Museum’s youth programs,
and for many children in this rural area, it represents their only
chance to visit an art museum. Constance Del Nero, Director
of ArtReach & Community Programs, comments, “Museum
field trips are one of the most cost-effective ways of improving
children’s educational experiences. Teachers rely on ArtReach so
their students can view and discuss art, consider what it means
to be an artist, and understand why the arts are fundamental to a
culturally rich society.”
The Museum has a track record of offering world-class art
exhibitions by such visionaries as James Turrell, Mark Rothko,
Robert Rauschenberg, and Peter Paul Rubens, as well as by
local artists like Katherine Allen and Kyung-Lim Lee. Through
the Museum’s exhibitions, students have seen a variety of art
created by people from many different backgrounds and time
periods, learned about the world in which these artists live(d),
and worked on specially-designed visual arts projects designed to
consolidate their experiences.
According to Constance, art-viewing sparks feelings and debate
and art-making offers new ways to develop critical thinking skills
and expression. ArtReach also offers a subsidiary program called
Museums in the Museum! in which students visit the Museum
multiple times during the school year, consider what it means to
“be” a museum, pay close attention to the wall text, and create
their own miniature museums in diorama boxes.
Robbin Hill, Chief Program Officer for the Mid-Shore
Community Foundation, comments, “Through the Museum’s
ArtReach program, Mid-Shore teachers and children are
provided with a unique opportunity for non-school, hands-on
integration of the arts into their curriculums. It is a successful
initiative that helps children think outside the box by providing
them with thought-provoking ideas.”
To have an ArtReach experience, teachers book a field trip to
the Museum to see a certain exhibition. Students are welcomed
16
to the Museum and tour the exhibition with a guide. Museum
tours are interactive and designed to engage students with the
material and trigger meaningful questions. Student observations
are honored and discussed. After the tour, students go to an art
studio where they work on a related project that they can take
back to school with them. Projects are specifically designed to
reinforce what students have learned and are tweaked to be
appealing to all age groups.
Examples of some of the art projects completed by area students
include designing and painting their own giant “coins” after
they looked at similar coins collected by artist Peter Paul Rubens
(1577-1640) in the spring 2015 exhibition, From Rubens to the
Grand Tour; drawing colorful, fanciful pictures of fish modeled
after the sensitive watercolors of Ahmed Abushariaa in the winter
2015 exhibition, Africa Now! Sub-Saharan Artwork from the
World Bank; and creating geometric carpet designs and their own
faux stained glass after noting Frank Lloyd Wright’s fascination
with order and geometry in the fall 2015 exhibition, Frank Lloyd
Wright–Architecture of the Interior.
The Academy Art Museum’s exhibitions are sponsored by the
Talbot County Arts Council and the Maryland State Arts
Council. For further information about planning a trip through
the Museum’s ArtReach Program, contact Constance Del Nero,
Director of ArtReach & Community Programs at
[email protected] or call 410-822-2787.

OARD PERSPECTIVE
Did you know that the Academy
Art Museum’s building, one of
Easton’s historic landmarks, was a
schoolhouse from 1865 through
1933?
That in 1958, six Eastern Shore
residents founded The Academy of
the Arts (the Museum’s previous
name) dedicated to the knowledge,
practice and appreciation of the arts? That they purchased the
building in 1960?
That the Permanent Collection began in 1967 with a gift of 11
works on paper?
And today? Today, in 2016, thanks to your generous
contributions of time, energy and funds the Academy Art
Museum offers to Talbot County and beyond many unique
opportunities to appreciate and experience art:
• The Permanent Collection contains more than 1200 works.
• ArtReach involves thousands of public and private school
children from Caroline, Dorchester, Queen Anne’s, and Talbot
counties who visit the museum and participate in projects related
to exhibits.
• Art to Go extends to more than 1300 area special adult
residents who receive art instruction from Museum teachers in
local retirement homes, senior centers and neighborhood service
centers.
• Field Trips for Grownups offer workshops for adults, with
informal tours of Museum exhibits followed by instruction on
related art projects.
• Arts Express Bus Trips are adult day-excursions to museums or
performing arts venues.
• Art Instruction includes more than 25 classes in Drawing,
Painting/Pastel, Paper/Printmaking, Performing Arts,
Photography/Digital studio, Pottery and Woodworking
• The Kittredge-Wilson Speaker Series offers at least 4 events per
year, often related to current exhibits.
• Music at Noon has a waiting list!
Thank you!
Thank you to our 1,500 members. Your consistent loyalty and
participation in exhibits, programs, classes and trips assure us
that our mission is being fulfilled.
Thank you and a huge round of applause to our extraordinary,
dedicated, creative staff whose work “behind the scenes” is
invaluable.
Thank you to our “crew” of volunteers whose time, energy and
thoughtful assistance to staff are greatly appreciated.

Thanks again!

thanks for your strong support that has helped us sustain our
mission and become a major cultural center and resource on the
Eastern Shore.

Spotlight on Philanthropy - What is an Endowment
22
An endowment fund is money set aside to earn revenue to fund
some type of charitable activity. In this sense, it is like a trust
fund, but the beneficiary is a charitable organization instead
of a person. The types of charitable organizations that have
endowment funds include churches, universities, museums,
hospitals and other nonprofit organizations.
When a charitable organization has an endowment fund, the
organization’s managers have a fiduciary duty to diversify the
fund’s assets using modern portfolio theory. This is the best
way to insure the assets are invested safely and have the greatest
potential to grow. Some endowment funds have a very specific
purpose, others are more general.
Most endowment funds are created with cash, marketable
securities and other assets that generate investment income.
It is most often the investment income that is used to fund
the charitable activity, not the sale of the actual investments
themselves.
Thanks to the generosity of many dedicated supporters,
the Academy Art Museum’s endowment is approximately
$3,500,000. If you would like more information on
the Museum’s endowment or other ways to support the
organization financially please contact Damika Baker at
[email protected] or at 410-822-2787

Art to Go ...
Field Trips for Grownups
The Museum’s Art to Go program continues through the
spring. Last season, over 1300 area residents enjoyed Art to
Go classes and activities. Art to Go is an outreach program
designed to enrich the lives of special adult populations.
Museum teachers travel to retirement homes, senior centers,
special needs facilities and neighborhood service centers to
bring engaging and meaningful art projects to their clients.
It is also possible for participants to visit the Museum and
receive a guided tour. Following the tour, they will be able to
create related art projects.
Field Trips for Grownups are designed to allow adults to
experience a Museum exhibition in a new hands-on way:
Look, think, share, discuss and create! A FTGU consists of
an informal tour/chat about the exhibition(s) on view and
the opportunity to work on a related art project. Projects are
designed to get adults thinking, experimenting, and working
with different materials and are not formal art lessons. They
are designed to spark creativity and to appeal to novices and
professional artists alike.
The Art to Go program
can be tailored to meet
the needs of individual
organizations. Museum
educators develop
site-specific curriculum
plans to ensure that
class content is relevant
and accessible to all
participants.
Art to Go is provided
free of charge. For
more information,
please contact Director
Art to Go clients create pictures of

PHILADELPHIA MUSEUM OF ART
International Pop
Find out how Pop art’s embrace of popular culture and imagery
became a worldwide phenomenon.
Thursday, March 10, 2016
Fee: $85 Members, $110 Non-members VTRI179-03
Fee includes transportation, admission and tour
This exhibition chronicles Pop art’s emergence as an international movement, migrating
from the United Kingdom and the United States to western and eastern Europe, Latin
America, and Japan. Although Pop arose in distinct forms within each region, artists
expressed a shared interest in mass media, consumerism, and figuration. International Pop
navigates a fast-paced world packed with bold and thought-provoking imagery, revealing
a vibrant cultural period shaped by widespread social and political revolution. With 120
works, including paintings, sculptures, prints, collage, assemblage, installation, film, and
ephemera, the exhibition highlights influential artists from 20 different countries. Among
them are Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Tom Wesselmann, and Ed Ruscha
(US); Richard Hamilton, Pauline Boty, Peter Blake, and Clive Barker (UK); Gerhard
Richter, Sigmar Polke, and Konrad Lueg (Germany); Ushio Shinohara, Keiichi Tanaami,
and Osamu Tezuka (Japan); Hélio Oiticica, Wanda Pimentel, and Antonio Dias (Brazil);
and Marta Minujín, Dalila Puzzovio, and Edgardo Giménez (Argentina).

AMERICAN VISIONARY MUSEUM - Baltimore
The Big Hope Show
Wednesday, May 25, 2016
Fee: $65 Members, $95 Non-members VTRI180-05
Fee includes transportation, admission and tour
The Big Hope Show opens on the eve of the American Visionary Art Museum's 20th
anniversary celebration and is an original and unabashedly idealistic, art exhibition that
champions the radiant and transformative power of hope. Over twenty-five visionary
artists, among them many "super survivors" of enormous personal traumas, exhibit soulful
creations reflecting their personal transcendence, and, often, a heightened or newfound
creativity and sense of humor.
Curated by museum founder and director Rebecca Alban Hoffberger, The Big Hope Show
aims to inspire a clearer, more hopeful, communal roadmap forward by shining a big
exhibition spotlight on just what ignites and sustains human hope, while, at the same time,
artfully identifying and combating those ancient forces hell-bent on hope's destruction:
cynicism, fear and despair. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. believed, "We must accept finite
disappointment, but never lose infinite hope." This timely exhibition serves up a tasty
buffet of examples for positive change, fueled by that ultimate superfood—hope.

IN CELEBRATION
OF PAUL MELLON
Paul Mellon was one of
America's greatest art
collectors and remains
one of the Gallery's
leading benefactors.
The exhibition features
80 of the finest pastels,
watercolors, drawings,
prints, and illustrated
books selected from his
donations, celebrating
both his wonderful
Mary Cassatt
generosity and his

to collecting. Mellon
Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Mellon
took great pleasure in
seeing the works day
after day, like special friends in a domestic setting. The exhibition evokes
this intimate context for watercolors portraying earlier American scenes by
Winslow Homer and Maurice Prendergast; powerful portrait drawings by
Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres and Edgar Degas; sporting lithographs by
Théodore Géricault and George Bellows; abstracting linear pen landscapes
by Vincent van Gogh; colorful visions of Parisian entertainments by Henri
de Toulouse-Lautrec and Jacques Villon; complex cubist compositions
by Pablo Picasso, Paul Klee, and Georges Braque; as well as delightful
watercolors of a cucumber (by Édouard Manet) and a flight of butterflies (by
Odilon Redon). Organized by National Gallery of Art, Washington
DRAWINGS FOR
PAINTINGS IN
THE AGE OF
REMBRANDT
Dutch landscapes, still
lifes, and scenes of daily
life painted in the 17th
century possess a remarkable
immediacy and authenticity,
giving the impression that
Dutch artists painted them
from life. However, these
subjects—as well as biblical
Michiel van Musscher
and mythological subjects—
An Artist in His Studio with His Drawings
were actually painted in
c. 1665–1667
studios,
often using drawings
Oil on panel
Liechtenstein Museum, Vienna
as points of departure. Some
100 drawings and paintings
by such renowned Golden Age artists as Jan van Goyen and Rembrandt
van Rijn will reveal the many ways Dutch artists used preliminary drawings
in the painting process. The exhibition will include sketchbooks, broad
compositional drawings, individual figural motifs, counterproofs, and
carefully ruled construction drawings. It will also examine the drawings
artists made on their panel and canvas supports before painting their scenes.

and bloom is the theme for this workshop. Students will have
fun foraging to collect local flora to create delicate botanical
studies in graphite and watercolors with scientific accuracy and
detail. Focusing on the area's indigenous late summer flowers,
woodland ferns, autumn leaves, and abundant harvest of
apples and pumpkins, students enjoy learning to adapt, adjust,
and problem solve using an effective repertoire of techniques,
while applying seasonal color palettes and skills to each
unique subject. This workshop will take place in a large art
studio not far from downtown Easton on the private grounds
of a beautiful 30-acre waterfront estate with many flowers
and trees. Hillary Parker is a naturalist and international
award-winning botanical watercolor artist with paintings
exhibited and sold worldwide. For a complete biography go

During this four-day workshop, the students will be spending
the first two days out on location (weather permitting),
followed by the final two days back at the Museum studio.
Days one and two of the class will be producing some smaller
plein air paintings focusing on color notes and gathering
information to utilize back in the studio. During the final
two days, with the use of the camera, as well as color notes,
the students will design and produce a larger painting at the
Museum. Given the extra studio time, each person will be
able to assess their initial statement in a way that is difficult
to do en plein air. The student will then be able to see what
designs would be best served for a larger painting... utilizing
and building on what nature gives us, but not being a slave to
it. It is all about the design and how it is interpreted. There will
be daily instructor demonstrations, individual attention and
critiques. All levels and mediums welcome. The goal is to make
paintings fresh, vibrant, and full of light and color.

Join us for a series of monthly plein air paint outs the last
Saturday of the month, beginning Saturday April 30, 2016, and
continuing through October 29, 2016. Painting locations in the
Mid-Shore region include private waterfront estates, working
farms, and a few interesting surprises! Bring a bag lunch, and
come and go as you please. Diane welcomes questions as she
paints, and leads a critique at the end of each paint out. Museum

upcoming paint out locations or want to host a paint out on
their property, please contact Diane at dunepainter@earthlink.
net. All mediums and skill levels are welcome!
Artists are told to draw
what they see…but that’s
not always so easy! This
is partly because we all
have ideas of what objects
are supposed to look like
and our ideas often get
in the way of what we’re
really seeing. This class
focuses on looking at and
drawing negative space,
which is the space that
surrounds an object. The
first three classes in this
series are 100% demodriven, meaning you’ll
create a drawing step
by step along with the
Constance Del Nero
instructor. During the last
class, you’ll work on your
own drawing project by figuring out the shapes and placement
of negative space. This class is ideal for those who have never
drawn before, who feel insecure about their drawing ability, or
who have not drawn in a long time and would like to brush up
on skills. Learn to see in a whole new way. Sometimes it’s OK
to accentuate the negative!

First Fridays: March 4 & April 1

perspective. All mediums and skill levels are welcome!

Working on your drawing skills is a basic and pure part of being
a better artist. Students will work with graphite and markers
(shades of gray for value) on a variety of subjects both in studio
and out. Sketchbook drawing has many benefits – you can
do it anywhere, it’s free, requires discipline and you may have
a wonderful study for a larger painting. One thing for sure –
the more you draw the better artist you become. All levels are
welcome. Maximum of 8 students.
In response to people who have asked if there is a class that is
actually for a beginner -believe this title. This is a
TRUE Beginner class! If
you really don’t know where
to begin to learn to paint,
or if you are changing your
medium to watercolor,
you want a class that looks
like this. If you already
have watercolor supplies
of any kind, bring them
and learn how to use them.
Otherwise, all supplies will
be furnished.

Back by popular demand, Matthew will teach a course on how
to paint water, especially waves. The thing about water is that it
is never the same. Whether it's how to show the light coming
through the wave as it turns, the explosion of water as it crashes,
or the bubbling foam as the spent wave settles, water is exciting
and a challenge for the artist. So, if you have always wanted to
paint the ocean, then this is the course for you. Maximum or 12

Would you like to have truly unique paper for your journal or
scrapbook or artist book? Then this is the workshop for you!
Students will apply a specific mixed media technique to a large
sheet of paper (maybe gesso, acrylic paint, colored pencil, acrylic
inks and who knows what else?!) and then pass the paper to the
next person! And so on, and so on. The instructor will explain
each technique prior to its application and since there is no art
experience necessary, you can’t go wrong! This is a collaborative
process, and sometimes messy, so wear old clothes or a cover-up,
bring your lunch and your sense of adventure. Instructor will
provide all art materials. Minimum of 6 needed for class.

will present information about the importance of using certain
materials and methods to preserve works on paper. Sheryl will
show materials that will be discussed including acid free mat,
backing, and tapes, and methods used. There are quite a few

This workshop is for book makers who are wondering how to
put words in their books when they’re not calligraphers and don’t
like their own handwriting. There are many creative methods
of accomplishing this. We will start by looking at the work of
several artists who have used letters and words creatively in
their art and we’ll do some samples influenced by their work.
We’ll explore stencils and rubber stamps, both purchased and
those we’ll create ourselves, iron on transfers and press on
letters, blind embossing, embroidery, cookie cutters, some
printmaking techniques, type from computers and, yes, even
some handwriting. By the end of the workshop we will create
a leporello accordion book sampler for future reference. No
experience necessary. Maximum of 10 students.

EWS FOR EDUCATORS
ArtReach Continues Through the End of the School Year
Over 2600 area students from five counties participated in the Museum’s ArtReach
program during the 2014-2015 school year. Students have been wowed by the
Museum’s current exhibition: Robert Rauschenberg: ROCI Works from the National
Gallery of Art. Rauschenberg believed that art could spark positive social change, so he
traveled the world to countries where artists had little freedom to express themselves
and used the creative process to initiate dialog.
ArtReach is for all ages. After bringing a group of high school students to the Museum,
one high school teacher wrote, "My students could not stop talking about their
experience. Thank you for this opportunity and for getting them to think outside their
comfort zone as designers.”
The parent of a Tilghman Island second-grader who attended with her school declared,
“My daughter was blown away… that’s all she could talk about all night.”
There is still time to view ROCI at the Museum. The exhibition continues through
March 6.
High school student creates a Scatola Personale
after viewing the Rauschenberg ROCI exhibition.
From April 23 through the end of the school year, the Museum will show Paulette
Tavormina’s spectacular photographs of fruits, vegetables and other still-life objects, all
reminiscent of 17th century Dutch masterpiece paintings.
All ArtReach projects are designed to be grade-specific. Please inquire about visual arts
projects for your age group.
The Museum works with students in pre-K through high school from both public and private institutions. Art clubs, scout groups and
other organizations are welcome as well. Budget woes? No problem! There is no cost for the ArtReach program and the Museum even
pays for transportation costs. Please contact Director of ArtReach and Community Programs, Constance Del Nero at
[email protected] for information on how to sign up.
ArtReach is partially funded by a generous grant from the Mid-Shore Community Foundation.
Museums In the Museum! Curriculum
Is in Its Second Year
In 2012, the Museum asked Director of ArtReach and Community Programs, Constance
Del Nero, to design a curriculum project to engage schoolchildren for an entire school year.
The resulting program, called “Museums in the Museum!” teaches children how a museum
functions, asks them to consider what their ideal museum would look like, and helps them
create their own miniature “museum” in a diorama box. The project hones students’ visual
art, language arts, and research skills. Fifth grade students from Choptank Elementary in
Dorchester County are participating for the second year. Last spring, their “museums” were
on view at the Academy Art Museum at a special party. To find out more about the program,
please email Constance at [email protected] or call her directly at
978-902-1993.
Museums in the Museum is supported by a grant from the Mid-Shore Community Foundation.

New research shows that there are a variety of learning styles and
many students learn best through the arts. Researchers also note that
the compartmentalism of core subjects is artificial; there is art in math
and English language arts, just as surely as there are onions in soup!
How might the arts help your students learn?
For more information, please get in touch with Director of ArtReach

Come join the Museum staff for an afternoon of
holiday crafts. We will create one or more seasonal
projects that children can take home to keep or give

INI MASTERS ACADEMY
Mini Masters Academy
An Early Enrichment Program for Children ages 2-4
In Partnership with the Smithsonian Early Enrichment Center
Mini Masters Academy introduces young children
to new ideas through a thematic approach to learning
that emphasizes relationships and the ability to make
meaningful connections. It teaches a basic life skill ... how
to learn ... and focuses on strategies and techniques that can
be applied to almost any encounter with the unknown.
The focus in not on acquiring facts or information, but
rather on the process of learning through inquiry and
sensory exploration of objects. It is through this process
that children make ideas their own.
The rich resources of the Academy Art Museum offer a
wonderful platform for teaching these sensory explorations.
The resources come in many forms, from artwork to
museum professionals. The focus might be a single piece
of art within a collection, an entire exhibition or a visiting
artist or musician.
Children's literature, objects and visual images are the
key elements of almost every experience. Activities are
planned to encourage discussion and increase vocabulary.
The curriculum offers a wide range of possibilities and
introduces, develops and ties together individual skills in a
meaningful way. Skills are also related to the real world and
situations that children might encounter.
Children learn to express their feelings and ideas as
they talk about objects and works of art they see in the
museum. Mini Masters Academy embraces a childcentered approach to learning and offers activities that build
awareness through sensory experiences.
The school year continues through May 13, 2016. The
program follows the vacation and cancellation schedule of
the Talbot County Schools.
The schedule is flexible. Two-year-olds can attend either
2 or 3 days per week, while 3 and 4-year-olds can attend
up to 4 days per week with an option to attend a full day
program.
We are continuing to accept students for the 2015 - 2016 school year.
Complete information packets are available at the Museum or online at academyartmuseum.org

AMILY ART DAYS
NEW FAMILY ART DAYS
Come one, come all…the Academy Art Museum welcomes
children, ages six and older, and their families to explore and
create art.
According to the Child Development Institute, “Families can
create a harmonious balance in their children’s lives when they
make provisions for the arts.” The site goes on to offer lots of
ways that parents can incorporate art in their families’ lives and
closes by advising, “The most important ingredient in the recipe
is your interest. Be there to appreciate and encourage during
every step of the creative process.” What better way to spend
quality time with your child than to come to the Academy
Art Museum and work together on a project? The Family That
Makes Art Together Gets Smart Together!
Family Art Day programs include:
Travel the World at the
Academy Art Museum
Saturday, March 12, 10am-1pm
Cost: FREE!
ECHI9604-03
Children and their parents will take a “trip” to a far-away
country…where they will work together on an art project and
enjoy tasty snacks typical of that country. In January, we traveled
to Australia and learned about Aboriginal dot paintings. Our
next stop will be Italy. All aboard! Andiamo! There is no cost for
this trip…but please let us know if you are coming as it will help
us plan. Parents…want to get involved with preparing nibbles?
Find out how you can help. Get in touch with the Museum’s
Director of ArtReach and Community Programs, Constance
Del Nero at [email protected]. This event
is offered at the Museum in conjunction with the Chesapeake
Multicultural Resource Center (ChesMRC) and was codeveloped with Deborah Scales, ChesMRC’s art enrichment
teacher.

Save the planet and get creative! Before you throw out that old
can, bottle cap, magazine etc…think about what you might
do with it to keep it in use. Better yet, come to the Academy
Art Museum’s eARTh Day Extravaganza and make some great
projects to take back home. This event is offered at the Museum
in conjunction with the MidShore Riverkeeper Conservancy
(MRC) and was co-developed with Suzanne Sullivan, MRC’s
education and volunteer coordinator.
Junk Mail Fish
at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum
Saturday, February 27, 10am-1pm
Cost: $6 per person
$1 discount per person if children sign up with a family member
Over the past several years, Constance Del Nero has gone to area
schools to teach hundreds of area third graders how to draw a
fish and then collage it with colorful bits of unwanted mail, such
as magazines, catalogs and ads. Now families are invited to take
part in the fun! You will learn how to draw a fish from mouth
to tail and then embellish your creation. According to scientists,
there are over 27,000 different kinds of fish in the world, with
thousands more yet to be identified. Some of those fish look
downright strange, so whatever you draw will probably be within
the realm of possibility! In the past students have come up with
theme fish, such as sports fish, candy fish, puppy fish, patriotic
fish, tree fish and variously colored fish. What kind of fish will
you create?
(Note that this is the only family art project in this series that is NOT being
offered at the Academy Art Museum. It will take place at CBMM as part
of the Museum’s effort to partner with other area organizations. Together, we
enrich our community!) Email Allison Speight at [email protected]
