METHODS & MATERIALS: FROM DARK TO LIGHT: AN APPROACH TO THE MEZZOTINT PROCESS by Carmi Weingrod.

1994 AMERICAN ARTIST ACHIEVEMENT AWARD WINNERS. Profiled here are the winners of this year's American Artist Achievement Awards, a competition sponsored by leading art-materials manufacturers and publishers to recognize some of the finest artists and teachers working today as well as those who serve the art community.

THE WATERCOLOR PAGE: FORM AS CONTENT: THE NONOBJECTIVE PAINTING by Arthur L. Kaye. I'm trying to create an interesting arrangement of forms, utilizing the laws of composition, balance, contrast, color, and harmony, and a healthy helping of intuition.

USING COLOR TO CONVEY A MOOD by James A. Metcalfe. When painting his hard-edge cityscapes, Rhode Island artist NICK PACIOREK uses broad strokes of brilliant color for their emotional impact.

THE ANIMATED SCULPTURE: COMBINING THE ABSURD AND THE SUBLIME byJohn A. Parks. David Beck creates elaborate moving sculptures, many of them with thousands of parts and made of all types of materials, that present an absurd yet poignant view of the world.
