Guraedy to direct Art Workshop Artist and art educator J.

Workshop participants who are already experienced in art may work in the media of their choice, such as oil, acrylic, water– color, pastel, or pencil. They should bring the appropriate supplies for their chosen media and a photograph, still life setup, or other subject matter to use in creating a work of art during the sessions. Since drawing is the basis of all visual art, Mr. Guraedy said that beginners participating in the workshop will spend their time drawing. Beginners should bring to the workshop the fol– lowing supplies: an all purpose paper drawing pad, not a newsprint pad, that is at least 11 inches by 14 inches large; two regular No. 2 pencils; one ebony pencil (or one of the following pencils 2B, 4B, or 6B); one gum or kneaded eraser; and a twelve– inch ruler. Persons seeking information on the workshop and on mem– bership in the Philadelphia– Neshoba County Arts Council may contact the Arts Council at 313 Byrd Avenue, Philadelphia, or by writing the Arts Council at P. 0. Box 131, Philadelphia, MS \39350.
