Meeting on Monday nights, “The Principles of Artistic Expression” includes all those beginning to paint, returning to your art after a period of time, intending to strengthen your skills, or refining a style uniquely your own. As we explore the potential for self-expression in our visual language, each session we work on practical applications, with demonstrations, of essential means of artistic expression: composition, edges, shapes, values, color, light, and subject matter. We always set aside time for sensible, encouraging feedback on participants’ artwork. All mediums are welcome, including oil, acrylic, pastel, watercolor, fabric, and paper-based arts. April 1st, 15th, 22nd, 29th.

GOLDEN HISTORY MOMENT
The August 13, 1973 Golden Transcript provided this story about the Transcript’s founder, George West.
George West teamed up with Mines students and printed posters announcing a balloon ascension from Castle Rock for April 1, 2:30 p.m. Classes were dismissed at Mines, as well as well as every other school, and almost everyone in town gathered down at what is now Brooks Field [now Marv Kay Stadium], staring up at Castle Rock. Sure enough, they could see figures running around up there, and hear the excited voices floating down.
At precisely 2:30 p.m., an unearthly blast shattered nearly every window in Golden, and serious faced Mines seniors passed out small, printed cards — “APRIL FOOL.”
Thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts, and to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
