We will be pleased to hear from
Capt.Bob Rasmussen, the museum Director,
and former Blue Angels pilot, as
we learn a bit about the history of
naval aviation.

ASAA will host a luncheon
for members of the
Blue Angels flight and engineering crew, and then
spend the remainder of the day touring
the museum and viewing the art.

In this presentation, the selection of colors used
by artists past and present for their paintings
will be explored. The works of three prominent 19th Century painters will be examined and discussed with an emphasis on how they used color in their work.

Finally, present-day ASAA artists Keith Ferris,
Gil Cohen, Charles Thompson, Russell Smith, and Tom Kalina will comment on their choice of colors specific
to their works.

A Brief Journey Into
Linear Perspective
ASAA Founder's Chair
John Clark
Perspective has been a valuable tool for
showing the illusion of depth in aviation
art. This presentation will examine methods
which make this visual impression possible.
A review of the basis for perspective construction
will show how applying these principles contributes to the illusion of three-dimensional objects on a two-dimensional surface.

Meet the Artists
The afternoon will be set aside for drawing, painting and mentoring, as well as a “Meet the Artists” event, sponsored by NMNA. Visitors of the museum will be encouraged to come and say hello while you paint on site. Feel free to show off your work in progress or walk them through the exhibition as their personal tour guide if you'd like!
