Since their inception in 1996, Artist Trading Cards (or ATCs) have enthralled thousands of people around the world They are miniature works of art about the same size as baseball cards and are produced in various media, including dry media (pencils, pens, markers, etc), wet media (watercolor, acrylic paints, etc), paper media (in the form of collage, papercuts, found objects, etc) or even metals or cloth
The cards are usually created in editions of 10 and traded in person or by mail There are groups that meetup in Houston to share their art



The fabulous and talented Jim Paras specializes in collage ATC&rsquo;s using recycled materials (Texas Art Asylum being a terrific source!) 
This is a hands-on class in which the students will make several ATC&rsquo;s to trade with each other and with Jim
Come share in the fun!]]></description>

One of the major summer music festivals in the United States, the Round Top Music Festival celebrates its 41st year in 2012
As part of the 2012 Round Top Music Festival, James VanDemark, double bass (pictured)&nbsp;presents a Master Class in the Edythe Bates Old Chapel, Wednesday, June 6 at 1:30pm Master classes are open to the public&hellip; as well as orchestra rehearsals
One of the most brilliant virtuosi ever to perform on the double bass, James VanDemark was hailed by the New York Times at his Lincoln Center recital debut as &ldquo;an exceptionally gifted string player and a musician of taste, intelligence and the best spontaneous musical instincts, with an unerring sense for exact intonation&rdquo; The San Francisco Chronicle praised his &ldquo;wonderful facility for making really musical phrases, relaxing, building, shading with unlimited subtleties &ndash; and a capacity to dig into whole pages of rip-roaring coloratura and make every note count&rdquo;
About the 2012 Round Top Music Festival:&nbsp;Founded by renowned concert pianist James Dick, it gathers more than 90 young talented young artists &ndash; accepted after auditions &ndash; for an intensive 6-week program They are mentored and coached by more than 40 distinguished faculty members and participate in more than 20 orchestral and chamber music concerts performed in the outstanding Festival Concert Hall (1,000 seats) built over a period of 30 years
The Texas Festival Orchestra will perform 8 concerts conducted by eight different conductors from the United States (Michael Stern, Stefan Sanders and Emilio Colon), Canada (Charles Olivieri-Munroe), France (Pascal Verrot), Austria (Christoph Campestrini), Portugal (Pedro Carneiro) and China (Perry So)
Orchestral programs mix, as usual, the well known and not so well known repertoire and also a world premiere (Concerto for two percussionists and orchestra by Jonathan Leshnoff)
Highlights include,Claude Debussy Images for Orchestra, L van Beethoven Symphony No 5, Anton Bruckner Symphony No 5, Aaron Copland Symphony No 3, Gustav Mahler Ruckert Lieder (sung by the fast-rising mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke), and Aram Khachaturian Concerto for Piano and Orchestra (performed by James Dick)
Chamber music programs are also offering contrasted repertoires (Debussy, Spohr, Dvorak, Rouse, Brahms, Harsanyi, Bach, Carter, Poulenc, Bartok&hellip;)]]></description>

Project Row Houses presents Read/Write Club with Jen Hofer Part II, the second evening of reading, writing and dialogue with innovative poet and translator Jen Hofer, sponsored by Antena Books/Libros Antena, a temporary bookstore, reading room and literary experimentation lab at Project Row Houses at 2515 Holman St 77004

Dolores Dorantes was born in Veracruz in 1973 and has lived most of her life in Ciudad Ju&aacute;rez, where socioeconomic violence and politically charged daily brutalities have informed her radically humane and beautifully incisive work as a poet, journalist, and cultural worker Dorantes is a rare presence in Mexican literary communities, in that she takes a wide-ranging international stance toward poetry and poetics while refusing to accept state support from a government she cannot respect
She has published four book-length works of poetry in Mexico and is a founding member of the border arts collective Compa&ntilde;&iacute;a Frugal (Frugal Company), which counts among its activities publication of the monthly poetry broadside series Hoja Frugal, printed in editions of four thousand and distributed free throughout Mexico

Forthcoming books are poem sequences from the valley of death (Ponzipo) and Laws (Dusie Books), and translations of Alan Mills&rsquo; S&iacute;ncopes (Piedra Santa) Recent writing appears in Aufgabe, Mandorla, Or, out of nothing, and Punto de partida
She teaches at CalArts, Goddard College, and Otis College, and works locally and nationally as a social justice interpreter]]></description>

Independence Art Studios presents ArtLab! Creative Day Camp
ArtLab is a one-of-a-kind adventure into kid fun and individual creativity led by Mitch Pengra (a 16-year veteran art teacher at The Parish School) and Thedra Cullar-Ledford (local artist, college art teacher, and owner of Independence Art Studios)



Last year was an amazing experience for kids, counselors and teachers alike One student, Grant, said it was &ldquo;better than chocolate camp!&rdquo; which we took to be quite a compliment 



ArtLab is for all kids ages 8-13, but since we customize the experience to match and expand each child&rsquo;s abilities, interests and experience, we can accept no more than 30 campers We'll divide up into small groups that give us a high teacher-to-student ratio so that no student loses interest while they're waiting for help Compared to other programs in the area, we do more exciting projects at a lower cost to parents We also offer the option to extend the fun until you can pick them up after work



When is it?

    ArtLab runs from Monday, June 4 through Friday, June 22
    Camp is from 9 am- 2 pm with extended day available until 5 pm

Registration for each week is available, though the kids get more out of the experience by participating in all three weeks because each week builds on the work done in the previous one

Southwest Alternate Media Project (SWAMP) presents a Workshop with a Hollywood Guru Saturday, June 30th &ndash; Sunday July 1st, it's a VISUAL STRUCTURE SEMINAR with Hollywood Guru and USC Professor BRUCE BLOCK (pictured)!



Just as a writer is concerned with story structure, a moviemaker must be concerned with visual structure Visual structure is the only &ldquo;language&rdquo; available to directors, cinematographers and production designers yet it is often misused or simply ignored



The key to using visual structure is an understanding of the basic visual components: space, line, shape, color, tone, movement, and rhythm This seminar demonstrates how you can control the complex relationship between story and visual structure Designed for producers, writers, directors, concept &amp; storyboard artists, cinematographers, lighters and visual design teams, the seminar relates all of the visual concepts to practical production and bridges the gap between theory and practice



This is not just art theory! Bruce Block will take the vision in your head and make it the best, give it the most impact, so you can take your audience on the ride of their lives and build the career you&rsquo;ve always dreamed of!]]></description>

During our teaching experience, We have focused on teaching learning concepts to children and adults in a manner that is easy to understand for students with all kinds of learning abilities We have found that students respond to learning with a great deal of enthusiasm and freshness when they identify with the method and once the love of learning is inculcated, the infinite power of their mind comes into play]]></description>

Led &amp; designed by certified EC-12 educators Sr Performers Workshop is designed for ages 12 and up This three week camp is sure to both educate and entertain Designed with both the novice and experienced older actor in mind, we will introduce students who are new to acting to basic skills as well as build upon and enhance the skills more experienced actors have been learning in their theatre arts classes at school or by participating in previous theatre performances
The students will work on developing and refining their acting skills such as character creation and movement in conjunction with developing the singing/speaking voice and incorporating intermediate choreography into the performance
Workshop participants will also be taught and expected to become adept at stagecraft concepts such as blocking, projection and stage direction to help increase confidence and deliver a compelling performance We will also work with students on activities involving mask work, improvisation, theatre arts games, Shakespearian acting and theatre history
At the end of the three week workshop session the students will perform production for a public audience DVD&rsquo;s will be available of the performance]]></description>

It's never too late; what are you waiting for?  Start with private classes, designed specifically FOR YOU!  Methods are tailored to the individual, ie styling the approach and methods to each person's goals:  learning the "basics" in order to audition for the first time, an experienced actor wanting help in polishing an audition piece, work on a role that the actor has been cast in, and working with someone that wants to make acting their career

Joe Watts has been strongly involved in Houston's theatrical circles for over 35 years, as producer, director, actor, teacher, writer and critic  He is the Artistic Director of Theatre New West  Joe has produced and directed close to 50 productions, and acted in over 75  He has taught privately for 20 years]]></description>
