MOSAIC OF ART - Episode 37; March 6, 2011

Last week's show was ALL about mosaic art. This time we feature a range of artistic endeavors. DINORAH de JESUS RODRIGUEZ creates animation the old fashioned way: painting and scratching on film, cell by cell. Hours of painstaking work are required to create a few seconds of screen time. French born artist, ULTRA VIOLET reveled in the juiced-up atmosphere of Andy Warhol's Factory scene during her youth, but will also describe how her orientation toward life and art took a sudden turn. We won't leave mosaics out of the mix, however. Two distinctive snippets from the SAMA conference convey the rewards of participation. Artist CAROL SHELKIN describes the challenges of teaching a workshop in stained glass mosaic portraiture within a compressed time frame. Then JESSE WOZNIAK relates the experience of staffing the booth for his family's mosaic supply companies, Wits End Mosaic and meeting their customers face to face.
