Meet in the center of the park near the tables - 10am - 2 Hours
Grand Rapids Photography Group
Autumn Perez
People, cafes, vendors, street merchants, buskers, historic buildings, art installations and much more. The power of observation underpins the art of great street photography. Learning to "see" interesting detail is a practised skill and we introduce you to easy methods that will open your photographer's eye and expose you to a world that is alive with detail. The most rewarding part of the class is learning how to approach interesting people and have them willingly pose for you.

We will also go over settings, focusing techniques and lens choices common to street photography to help us capture those random chance encounters.

REVIEWS
I really enjoyed learning from Kyle. He was friendly and informed. We had lovely weather. I've struggled to learn drawing for a very long time and haven't gotten very far. Kyle helped me understand how to start....and that's exactly it - how to get started! He also answered a number of questions that helped me clarify things I hadn't really understood before. I hope he teaches another drawing class.

I have been taking art courses for many years. My favorite medium is soft pastels. I also love working with charcoal, graphite, markers and ink. I have also been exploring other mediums such as oil pastels. My works are bright, colorful and in an expressionist style. The subjects are landscapes, particularly trees, and still life.
You may have seen my work at Grand Valley Artists, ArtPrize, Regional Art Festival and Celebration of the Arts.
I do believe that art brings beauty and hope to this world, and is a reminder of the magnificence of God's creations.

Kristen Pham is available for private bookings

Private or small classes are available by special appointment. Instructions will included basic drawing skills, such as line work, shading, composition and work on perspective.

Title or Location: Date Night Revisited
This is a pastel painting, 32x36 size, on Kitty Wallace Belgian mist sanded paper. I had worked on it about 20 years ago. I got it back out recently and reworked some areas. The subject "date night" is actually a Christian narrative. Believing that we all are loved we are all deserving of love, for our selves and for each other. God wants us to be together, and have joy and laughter, as we share our lives together, and yes, some romance.

Title or Location: Summer
I'm easily inspired by nature, all plants, bugs and critters. I live on a wooded 10 acre property so inspiration is always near. Recently, I've noticed more wildlife outside my office window in the city. I was compelled to create a piece to capture the beauty and whimsy of some of the inquisitive creatures that explore the scenery around me. If they only knew how much I appreciate their brief distraction from my every day busy life.

Title or Location: A memorial drawing of George napping with Chris
I originally drew George for Chris a few years ago but after he passed more recently, Chris came to me with a photograph which he said meant a lot to him and asked if I could do a drawing of it. It was a bit of a challenge but I did the best I could with it and when I sent an image of my drawing to Chris he first just replied ?there are no words? but he then came back later with:?wish you had known him Alan and in a strange way it?s like you did. You portray my bond with him like no one else c
