JULIETTE ARISTIDES
Tuesday, April 24 at 7:30 p.m.

Seattle artist and art instructor Juliette Aristides leads those who attend tonight through the material contained in her popular recent book, Classical Drawing Atelier: A Contemporary Guide to Traditional Studio Practice (Watson-Guptill). The principles and practices exhibited by the book are embodied in the work she does with the Aristides Classical Atelier at the Gage Academy. "Juliette Aristides has created a seminal work for the advancement of art ... Classical Drawing Atelier is visually beautiful, intellectually gratifying and destined to become a classic for not only the serious art student, but for all who love art and culture ... The fact that contemporary artists are included in this book is a revolutionary decision which successfully brings home the point that masterful drawing is still alive ... Aristides writes with refreshing clarity and a confidence based on sound principles in an historical framework that she has obviously spent a lot of time researching and contemplating ..." - Sherry Ross, ARC.
