A Friendly Call with Margie WorthingtonWed. Nov. 9 1:00 pm - 1:30 pm
Thurs. Nov. 17 6:00 pm - 6:30 pm
Program admission: $1.00
Art educator and artist, Margie Worthington offers a closer look at a work by William Merritt Chase (1849-1916). In A Friendly Call (1895), noted American artist, William Merritt Chase appears to have captured an actual moment in time - but is really a beautifully arranged and orchestrated composition. His use of the full range of values from dark to light and his repeated use of rectangular shapes are among the compositional devices we will examine in a closer look at this work. We will also look Chase's role as one of the most influential artists and teachers of the late nineteenth century.
In 1984, with a B. A. in Psychology from UNC-Chapel Hill and an MFA in Ceramics from East Carolina University, Margie Worthington moved to Wilmington. She served as the first Curator of Education at St. John’s Museum of Art (now Cameron Art Museum) in Wilmington from 1985 to 1990. From 1990 to 2004 she was a member of the art faculty at the University of North Carolina at Wilmington where she taught studio courses in design, painting, and mixed mediums. Currently, Worthington is a full time studio artist and teaches painting through CAM’s Museum School. Her works are included in numerous private collections and the permanent collections of the Randall Library on the campus of UNCW and Cameron Art Museum.
ONE4$1 is an ongoing illustrated mini-lecture series featuring community speakers from a broad spectrum of backgrounds who have a strong interest in art.
