At that time, we will also be inducting our newest member to the Scarsdale Adult School Hall of Fame, Hope Friedland. A staple in our arts & crafts department for roughly twenty years, Friedland is a highly experienced instructor as well as a dedicated, friendly, informative, award-winning watercolor and mixed media artist, lecturer, and author.
Friedland holds a master's degree in art education from Columbia University and is the organizer and director of the Westchester Artists Guild. Over the years, her work has appeared in many local juried art exhibitions, private collections, and galleries.
She finds subjects for her artwork from her travels. She uses photographs of the places she has visited to use as material and her experiences as inspiration. "Meeting people from many cultures and communities worldwide has challenged me to teach people of different ages, places and levels."
During her watercolor classes, students of all levels have been introduced to a variety of lessons in color, composition, value, and form. Each of her students has experienced the opportunity to develop a personal style through demonstrations, interesting painting topics, and pinpoint critiques. Friedland explains that there are no mistakes in watercolor, just a lot of happy accidents. Her students have described her as encouraging, giving, and an extremely knowledgeable professional with superb teaching credentials and standards.
The ceremony is free for the entire community. Light refreshments will be served.
