    Ruby City

    150 Camp St., San Antonio Southtown

    The group exhibition Water Ways brings together works that make direct reference to water in addition to those that refer symbolically to it. Here, artists picture swimmers, capture moonlit lakes, re-create a shimmering pool, map unknown watercourses, or depict mythic tales associated with oceans or rivers. These works are balanced by others that allude to or characterize water like bridges, boats, borders, depth, fluidity, motion, purification, reflection, source, and its alterable state. Unceasing movement, dreams, the unconscious, mirrored surfaces, among other aspects, play a role in these artists’ works. (210) 227-8400

    This course offers an exploration into the fundamentals of drawing the human figure in a procedural approach.

Towards the end of the course, students will concentrate on specific landmarks of anatomy and useful facts about the human body, in order to develop a strong systematic approach that frees them creatively, while adding complexity and new level of believability to their drawings. $500 (non-members), $440 (members).

    Celebrate Earth Day at the Briscoe and learn how nature inspires art – and how art can teach us to respect nature. Connie Zamorano of San Antonio’s La Chicharra will delve into the fascinating world of insect artistry and how entomology – the study of bugs – inspires her creature creations. Chicharras, or cicadas, are known for their dramatic life cycles and Zamorano frequently uses them in her art.  Sharing how she embarks on foraging adventures, harvesting from her own garden and collecting specimens ethically, Zamarano invites everyone to discover the creative possibilities of often-overlooked natural materials.
