Montgomery College
Open House
By Carolyn Graybeal
This October Montgomery Colleges Rockville campus hosted the Fall Art Open House.
The event was an opportunity for prospective
students to tour the facilities, meet the faculty, and learn about the colleges art program.
Professors Zdeno Mayercak and Molly Nuzzo
were among the faculty hosting demos and
workshops for visitors and students.Professor
Mayercak,whoteachessculptureand 3D design
at the Rockville campus, showcased his creativity and power tool skills in a chainsaw sculpture
demonstration in front of the Art Department
building. His subject, a four foot chunk of poplar denuded of its bark and marked with blue
and white chalk. While the trunk tried to look
impressive, Mayercak got his tools ready, including two chainsaws, an ax and a crowbar.

The who gets to be an artist is an incentive program for people with disabilities.
The facilitators teach them to harness their inner art, specifically visual art, in a one
on one basis. They teach once a week
At the time that I visited their workshop, Vicky Johnson, one of the facilitator along
with a volunteer was helping Fred who is one of the artists. Fred is
cognitively disabled, but his painting skills and strategy blew me away. At that time,
he was painting his Lion and I can tell that he really loves painting it. What makes
him so interesting is his natural way of holding the brush (like holding a knife), his
strokes on the 50 x 65 canvas is very consistent, and like what Vicky said, he
knows when paint is too think and hed spread them out. Simple to say, he is an
artist by heart. The Lion is not yet finished, but surely enough that its going to be
awesome when done.

After Fred, Trisha comes in as their next artist of the day. I was told that shes moody at times, but draws
fantastically. Right before she started painting, she thinks first, asked Vicky and the volunteer, and shed be
very precise to what she wants. Aside from her artistic skills, however, is how lovely a comedian this
woman is! She would say something as she draws like its from my creative intuition or this is going
goodwith a facial expression. Then she started a new piece from which she asked Vicky to trace her hand;
although she is helping her, the idea comes from Trisha. As I kept staring at her artworks, I notice that her
masterpieces are happy and lively that reflects her emotions at that moment while she paints.The last Artist
that I met that day was Jen. She already started painting her grandmother weeks before, and I can tell you
that she has talent.WhileVicky was helping her figure out the proper highlights and shadows using the trial
and error method, I notice her worriless for making mistakes; but, always with precaution. Shes spot-on
on getting the right color that she wants; and her stable hands definitely gives her an advantage.
In the end of the day, who gets to be an artist clearly is a great program for those who are disabled to
bring their artistic passion out of their dreams and into this world of ours.

On November 2014, the student
art league took a leap of faith to
New York City hoping for an epic
Art-ride. The bus left in an early
6:00 in the morning promptly, wasting no time. Everyone in the trip is
excited like a kid who got his first
ride, first toy, first ice cream, or first
movie to watch, but this time we
get to watch as we walk. Some felt
as if they were having an adventure
from a different place, some were
in a different time, and some were
like Alice tumbling down the rabbit
hole.
