May activity: Visit to Yearba Buena Center for the Arts
May 25, 2016

From Elaina Habel: "We had a wonderful visit to the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (YBCA) in San Francisco. Our Docent guided us through Christian L. Frock's exhibit "Take This Hammer: Art + Media Activism." We saw how our diverse Bay Area artists create unique ways to express and protest for social, economic, and political changes. A very thought provoking exhibit! Join us on more trips and get to know more members."

April activity: Visit with Adrian Dedic
April 27, 2016

Pictures and story from Elaina Habel:
Our Member, Adrian Dedic, showed us the many types of printmaking processes she uses in her home studio. She explained the planning and steps needed to create an etching, the special tools she uses to hand carve her wood blocks, and how she prints various monotypes and intaglios using her printing press. We were fascinated and impressed!

Visit to UC Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archives
March 23, 2016

Pictures and story from Elaina Habel:
We enjoyed our BART trip and tour of the new Berkeley Art Museum & Pacific Film Archives. We had a fabulous Docent, Lynne Kimura, who also teaches art at Cal and trains the Docents. We saw amazing "architectures of life" from the first photographs of snowflakes to illuminated fragile living spiders webs, intricate woven Pomo baskets to golden Buddhas, as well as pieces by Ruth Asawa, Gustave Calliebotte, and Hyun Sook-Song, who employs meditation and breathing while using a minimum of brush strokes. The new museum has light filled spaces and openness from the sidewalk. Our group picture is the open theatre with a wall that will feature different artists throughout the year.

Autodesk Visit!
February 24, 2016

Some of the OHAG members took a BART ride to San Francisco to visit the Autodesk museum. We had to stop at the Ferry Terminal for snacks, of course (TWICE!!) But the guided tour was the highlight of the trip, definitely. We had a chance to see how modern products are designed and prototyped. We got a vision of the future, where a young person getting ready to go out for the evening will choose her jewelry and a smoking hot dress and then print them on her 3D printer. She may also 3D print her boyfriend! :) For a few pictures from that visit click here!!
