Artist Talk: Diane Firtell, 366 iPhone — A Year (and more) Creative Challenge — Oct 15
Thursday, October 15, from 6–7pm, via Zoom (link will be emailed prior to the event)
A trip to Nantucket with a new iPhone in the summer of 2015 opened up a whole new way of seeing and using my "camera." Having it always in hand allowed me to focus not only on the perfect photograph but also to become a documenter of my surroundings. I decided to take photos every day and in some creative way use the photograph to make a piece of art. Upon returning home I fell out of the daily practice but then became determined to pick it up on January 1, 2016. The project became 366 iPhone. It was a year that got me out on days to places I would not have gone, to explore my interior space, and has provided a wealth of material that continues to provide inspiration for new work.

Online Classes at IS183
Though IS183 Art School has temporarily closed its doors due to the evolving COVID-19 situation, we are committed to our mission to provide hands-on art-making opportunities, keeping creativity alive during this challenging time. Our new Online Art series offers digital opportunities to work with talented IS183 Faculty Artists, bringing the studio experience to you!
How It Works
Register for a class (or series) on our website, and we will email you a Zoom meeting link along with instructions. Simply use the link to join the online class at the designated time! Download the Zoom app on your smartphone or tablet, or use your laptop/desktop web browser. The web browser client will download automatically when you join your first Zoom meeting. (Have a look at this Zoom overview.)
You will join a live, interactive lesson presented in real-time by an IS183 Faculty Artist. Small class sizes will allow you to engage personally with the instructor and other students, just like in the studio! Faculty lessons will primarily be demonstration-based, but may have segments in which students are challenged to work on independent assignments. Each class and faculty approach will be unique!
Thank you for continuing to make art and support IS183 Art School! We look forward to seeing you in the (virtual) studios!
