FROM THE FOUNDER

Wow! That pretty much sums up this years Art Annual. I didn’t think it would happen, but these young artists outdid themselves again. We keep growing and growing thanks to so many parents, teachers, professional artists, and others who have an interest in seeing these artists get the attention they deserve. This was a diffi cult year for judging because there is twice the artwork of the fi rst issue of Art Quotient that was only a few years ago.

I’ve heard it myself several times this year from more than one person, includ-ing just recently from one of judges in this issue; the Renaissance is showing a rebirth in art (and isn’t it funny I say it that way, because Renaissance means “rebirth”). The Renaissance became one of the most productive periods in all history and Art Quotient is here to make sure it stays that way in the arts.

Many of the pieces of art submitted this year tell a story or plant a vivid image in your mind about somewhere you’ve been or wish you’ve been. Young artists are putting more thought into their work and in some instances not only emulating the old masters, but these young artists are taking art to another level.

The 2004/2005 year showed much more growth for us as a nonprofi t. We had a one month exhibit at the Las Vegas Art Museum in December 2004 and we’ve confi rmed a one month exhibit with the Central Sierra Arts Council in Sonora, California for February 2006. Art Quotient had several events in 2005—includ-ing the Groveland Art Stroll and the Art du Chocolat Festival—to promote the artwork of Art Quotient. Awareness events are also planned for October 2005 at the Clark County Museum in Henderson, Nevada and more events are being planned in California as well for 2006.

It’s now my pleasure to introduce the 2005 Art Quotient Art Annual.

Our JudgesOur JudgesClaudette Runyan– Working side by side for 13 years with the internationally known graphic designer Robert Miles Runyan, who was famous for the 1984 Olympic “Stars in Motion” logo, Claudette Runyan has carved a niche in acquiring, appreciating and delineating fi ne art from a graphic design point of view. A self-taught painter, her own collection of art ranges from Victor Vasereley to Renoir to an extensive collection of Mexican artifacts of which she has acquired after living in Mexico for 8 years. After many years of working with numerous Fortune 500 clients with her late husband, Claudette is well aware of how good design (i.e., form, function and emotion) play an integral role in an artist’s painting. Along with assisting artist’s in developing new marketing concepts and strategies, Claudette’s company, Runyan & Associates, Inc. is currently licensing the designs of her late husband in the textile and home décor industry.

Terry Ritter— Using her extensive show business background as a singer/dancer to create unique and often humorous scenes from the world of fabulous Las Vegas, Terry’s art, in its Impressionistic style, has earned her the nickname “Renoir Ritter”.

Her art career was born in the entertainment industry as she compiled an extensive portfolio of subjects while working backstage over the years. In addition, the artist attended L.A. College and the University of Nevada studying both Fashion Design and Fine Arts. She has also studied privately under such renowned artists as Arne Westerman. She is a Signature Member of the Las Vegas Watercolor Society and the Boulder City Art Guild having been featured in several shows for her unique subject matter and style. She has a special talent for capturing both the portrait likeness and the intangible personality of her subjects. This combined with the artist’s impressionistic style has resulted in a demand for her unique watercolor portraits.

Jeff QuinnJJeff QuinnJ is the “Best of Show” for the Jthe J 2005 Art Quotient Art Annual (AQ). Jeff’s not looking into art as a future ca-JJeff’s not looking into art as a future ca-Jreer because he plans to attend a 4-year J

reer because he plans to attend a 4-year J

college equivalent to MIT. His interests for a degree are in biochemistry and biotechnology.

When we spoke to Jeff about his “big win” he said that Art Quotient is amaz-Art Quotient is amaz-Art Quotienting…and he also said, “…to put young artists artwork into a magazine type publi-cation…,” he was speechless.

He also said while he plans to take his career away from the arts, he wants to continue doing art for the rest of his life as a hobby. But—when talking about AQ again—he said, “To have such positive feedback [about my art] is awesome.”

While his parents are excited and support him in his art, Jeff says his art teacher gives 110% to him and the other students in his art classes and he really is thankful for Mr. Stephens.

Jeff has been fi nger painting since about 5 years old, but he didn’t pursue anything seriously in art or even pick up a paintbrush until about a year and a half ago. At that time he said “Hey this is pretty fun.” So a year later he took several art classes.

He’s not taking any art classes at the moment. Instead he’s taking all AP classes. He’ll be taking AP studio art next semester and is looking forward to that.

Jeff’s favorite artists are Dali and Escher. You can see these artist’s infl uences in his work, as he likes to hide things in all his

paintings. Jeff also likes to work with color pencil and watercolor but doesn’t feel he has as much control with watercolor.

His creative inspiration comes from his own personal research. Ideas come from the Discovery Channel and other science driven programs on televison. He loves science as much as art.

Comments about Jeff’s work are that it’s gallery caliber, but Jeff said most of his artwork is stacked in his room. While he has motivation to draw, paint and sketch, he doesn’t have the motivation to frame them once they’re done. He said, “I paint for the process, not the end result.”

Jeff wrapped up by saying, “I don’t want this to come out the wrong way, but art is therapy and brings peace to my life.”

AQart is therapy and brings peace to my life.”

HOW THE JUDGING IN ART QUOTIENT WORKSAll artwork—submitted prior to the submissin deadline—is judged by a panel of professional artists independently from on another. Each piece of artwork is scored in four categories (with a maximum of 25 points per area); Use of Medium, Technique, Overall Composition, and Overall Creativity. The scores from all judges are then totaled to determine placements. Scores are kept confi dential until all scores are received by Art Quotient so that judges are not infl uenced by each others opinions. Only the publishers and judges may review fi nal scores of all artwork after placements have been determined. The ten highest scoring works receive Top Ten honors. The top three works receive Best of Show, 2nd Place, and 3rd Place respectively. All artwork is considered “fi ne art” and deserving of publication. Works not in the top ten are published in no particular order and no inference of quaility should be made as to their placement.

The TRUSTEE’S AWARD, CHAIRMAN’S AWARD, PUBLISHER’S AWARD, and PRESIDENT’S AWARD are selected by the perspective individual(s) holding each position. Awards go to the artworks that are deemed most deserving of special recognition as selected by these individuals based on individual criteria.

Rick Metzler— Rick began his career in the Visual Arts in fi lm and television. After a few years of suffering through “cattle calls”, he turned his artistic eye to painting and sculpting. He never looked back. He could be described as a minimalist or an abstract impressionist painter. His landscapes are powerful and refl ect his love of the desert. With his painterly background, Metzler sometimes sees himself as the new Rothko “with less splatters.” But with his latest works incorporating Haiku poetry, he has moved on to the next level.

Rick has shown in galleries from Los Angeles to New York and presently resides in Boulder City, Nevada. His work is exhibited, in Las Vegas, at Gallery P, owned by former director of the Las Vegas Art Museum, Joseph Palermo. He will have his fi rst solo gallery show in Nevada at L. Maynard Galleries in Henderson opening November 15,1005.

younger artists may do well against the older artists. The artwork above tied for 5th place in the Top Ten for this issue.

A determined group of community AA determined group of community Amembers are in the beginning stages of Amembers are in the beginning stages of Aorganizing a world class children’s museum Aorganizing a world class children’s museum Ain Sacramento. The Sacramento Children’s Museum will be non-profi t and completely hands-on for children from birth to eight years old. The museum will house hands-on exhibits, both indoors and outdoors, as well as an amphitheater, garden, parent resource room/classroom, party room, retail store, and café. The Sacramento Children’s Museum will be a place for local families to visit often and a destination for tourists.

When people hear the word “museum” they often think of a place where you view artifacts or admire beautiful works of art. However, at a children’s museum you might dig up artifacts in a large sand pit or paint an old VW bug while trying not to get paint on your shoes. Children’s museums are places for children to test, crank, listen, build, explore, laugh, and more!

In a children’s museum, children get to do what they do best, play! In fact, play is the work of a child. Fred Rodgers said it best, “Some people talk about play as if it were a relief from serious learning or even worse; a waste of time. But for children, play is exceedingly serious…and important! Play is a way for children to learn who they are, how the world works, solve problems, and to express feelings.”

The SCM will enable a wide range of volunteers, from senior citizens to middle school students. The museum will represent a community-wide investment in our children. Children’s museums are often like town squares, where individuals and families come together to share their talents, cultures, and points of view. According to Time Magazine, Sacramento is the most diverse city in the nation. The Sacramento Children’s Museum will incorporate this diversity throughout their exhibits and programs.

The Sacramento Children’s Museum will

provide a safe, non-threatening environment to ensure that the museum experience is accessible to those of differing abilities and backgrounds. Children’s museums are physical spaces providing authentic, hands-on experiences that are often missing from children’s lives in this age of technology. Children and adults will be able to spend quality time together and will be able to experience the luxury of becoming lost in the present moment as they play.

With research showing that 80% of mental development occurs before the age of eight, the Sacramento Children’s Museum is dedicated to providing an environment to enrich this important developmental stage. Sacramento has almost 120,000 children under the age of fi ve, and is one of only four capital cities that do not have a designated children’s museum. This is surprising for a state like California that is usually on the cutting edge of national trends!

More than 30 million children and families visited children’s museums last year. The Sacramento Children’s Museum is looking to locate along the riverfront as part of Sacramento’s riverfront development. Children’s museums are sough-after destinations, with more than 30% of them being fl agships in downtown revitalization projects. The Sacramento Children’s Museum will be a great draw to bring families back into the heart of the city.

The Sacramento Children’s Museum has the support of many prominent community members as well as city leaders, in both Sacramento and West Sacramento. The SCM is currently seeking individuals to add to their Board of Directors. If you are interested, please visit their website for more information. This is truly a children’s museum for our community, by our community!

Every year, schoolchildren in eight central California counties vie for a place in the widely distributed Clean Air Kids calendar, an educational outreach tool produced by the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District. The four-color calendars are distributed free to schools, healthcare facilities, libraries, churches and other organizations in the San Joaquin Valley.

“The calendar provides a great opportunity to educate students and the community about air quality and how they can help to improve it,” said Jaime Holt, the District’s public information administrator.

The eight-county Valley Air District, which formed in 1992, covers the largest air basin in California, located inland between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Although air quality has improved signifi cantly in recent years, the Valley air basin doesn’t meet federal and state health-based standards for particulates and ozone, the primary ingredient of smog.

Each year since 1998, the Valley Air District has published an educational calendar featuring original art from 14

students from throughout the Valley. Their creative and colorful drawings depict their interpretations of a world without air pollution, or how to create that world. In 2005, the calendar presented a clean air message for each month in both English and Spanish for the fi rst time.

The Clean Air Kids calendar contest is open to all San Joaquin Valley kindergarten through high school students. The Valley Air District has more than 200 school districts within its boundaries, and more than 700 entries were received for the 2005 calendar.

The student artists aren’t the only ones scrambling to get copies of the calendars. More than 20,000 wall calendars are distributed on a fi rst-come, fi rst-served basis, and they go quickly.

“We have people calling the second or third week it’s available, and many times, we’ve already distributed our stock,” said Holt. She said, “the calendar is the most visible and well-received public outreach tool produced by the District.”

With one of the fastest-growing populations in the country, the Air District appreciates the benefi ts of including future adults as part of its public education strategy.

“Even little children understand that this is the air we all breathe,” said Holt.

After several weeks of instruction, the young artists created quite a few pieces

of artwork in many different mediums and styles. Since there are no art classes on a regular basis at the school, this is a great way to bring in the arts to this small community.

Once the classes ended, the Sierra Professional Artists had a couple of exhibits to show off the talents of the artists.

2004/2005 Art Teacher of the Year

Jessica Seller’s bio may say it all. But what you don’t get to hear is how much her students respect her and look up to her

as an art teacher and a friend. She gives all her students the guidance and encouragement in the arts they need.

Located in one of the ten largest school dis-tricts in the nation, you’d think Coronado High School was an arts or magnet school—it’s not. It’s also not luck that her students do so well in the art arena. Jessica teaches some of the best student artists that the Clark County School District has to offer. Coronodo High School is just a great school with great teachers.

Jessica received her Art Quotient Art Teacher of the Year Award at the Las Vegas Art Mu-seum in December 2004. She was surrounded by many of her art students as well as artists from the community and out-of-state.

Her exceptional work with young artists is truly a blessing to everyone.
