DAPPLEGRAY ELEMENTARY

VIRTUAL ARTS ALIVE PROGRAM 2020

ARTS ALIVE MAY 15, 2020

Dear Dapplegray Colts,The closure of our schools in March forced us to re-think learning and living. All of our lives have changed in some way these last two months, but one thing remains – the spirit and strength of our Dapplegray family. Arts Alive is a treasured tradition of Dapplegray Elementary School. In 2007, former Dapplegray parents Kris Skeie, Nancy Shafer, and Jane Calvert wanted to expose their children to the thrill of the arts while they were young, curious, and adventurous. They created the “Arts Alive and Writer’s Workshop” for third through fifth graders and a small Art Walk with six to eight creative people performing as the students passed by. Today, Arts Alive has grown into a full-day program bringing over 40 artist presenters to campus who teach students a variety of arts, including visual arts, dramatic arts, martial arts, culinary arts, photography, videography, dance, yoga, writing, music, screen writing, fashion design, graphic design, and storytelling. Arts Alive still includes an Art Walk with 15 to 20 creative people performing and talking with students about their talents. This year, Arts Alive looks and feels a little different, but the Dapplegray PTA and Booster Club are very proud and honored to bring you the first ever Virtual Arts Alive! We are deeply grateful to the artists who are donating their time to bring the ARTS ALIVE to our students from home on May 15, 2020. Enjoy the day and stay healthy and safe! And remember, together or apart, we are all Colts at heart!

Always an artist, Emily Tanaka spent her childhood exploring the woods outside her rural Indiana home, climbing trees to get a different perspective and spending hours observing the natural wonders around her. After graduating college with majors in painting and graphic design, she migrated to Chicago and landed a graphic design job in educational publishing. Inspired by the dizzying chaos of the city, Emily began showing her artwork in pop-up events, cafes and local art shows. Eventually, she met the man who would later become her husband, but he lived across the country in Redondo Beach. In 2001, she made the trek to Los Angeles, continuing her design career and began showing her art in TAG gallery in Santa Monica. Starting a family brought new roles and creative outlets. Emily is currently painting murals in schools and businesses while continuing to show and sell her artwork. Still heavily inspired by nature, her work combines spray paint and acrylic paint in a colorful abstract and symbolic painting style.

Eddie is inspired and supported by his wife, Mrs. Carrie Roque, a second grade teacher at Dapplegray, and his three beautiful step daughters; Siena, an 8th grader at Miraleste, and Sasha and Carina, both 6th graders also at Miraleste .

Eddie is a self taught artist whose current works include Road Tripping with Teddy Eddy and Eric Rabbit (a colorfully illustrated children’s read-out-loud book) and “The Views” a 4ft by 2ft wood panel painted with acrylics showing off the vast cityscape view from Dapplegray School.

Intro to Fashion Design with Laura Millman, Tailtrends.com

Laura Millman always loved art as a child and enjoyed drawing, painting, crafts, and everything creative. She learned to sew in seventh grade and soon developed a passion for making her own clothes. Laura pursued an education in fashion design and was awarded a scholarship to her dream school, The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles. She graduated with an AA Degree in Fashion Design and started working immediately in the Los Angeles fashion industry. Over her many years in the fashion business, Laura worked for many types of clothing manufacturers as a designer and designed junior dresses, junior sportswear, missy sportswear, large sized sportswear, and even maternity wear.

Laura eventually opened her own apparel company, Best of Chums, which specialized in boutique and specialty store infant and toddler apparel selling to all major specialty stores nationwide. She ran this company for 9 years before selling it so that she could spend more time with her 2 young daughters.

Learn to be a Music Producer with Chris Portugal

Join Chris Portugal as he explains what a Music Producer is and does in the studio and explores the many layers of Queen’s wonderful song “Bohemian Rhapsody.” For added enjoyment, please listen to all or part of the song Bohemian Rhapsody prior to watching if you are unfamiliar with it. In this instance Freddie Mercury is both the song writer and the Music Producer.

By using the analogy of a chef who oversees ingredients going in to a cake, Chris works in reverse order to expose the many ingredients or layers - in this case the 24 tracks from the original Queen 2” tape - to explain how a music producer can bring a song to life by organizing the performance into layers (tracks) and bringing the art of the music to life in the final, stereo Master version for the audience to enjoy.

Photographing a Portrait with Yvette Gallardo D’Elia In the photography lesson, we want students to learn about how to take a great portrait by using the available light and learning how to “see” their subject, how to position their subject and their camera. We will show you some tricks on how to use available light to make a big difference in the overall impact of your portrait.

Materials: You can use a digital SLR camera or smartphone or device for this workshop. Your camera does not need to have manual settings; a photo reflector or a white poster board no larger than 16X20; a chair; a model; a space where you have natural light and shade.

Yvette Gallardo D’Elia is a fine art photographer and native of Santa Monica. She first discovered photography when her father allowed her to document their family life with his Canon A-E1. What followed were years in dark rooms, hand-developing film and printing mostly black and white images of her relatives and friends. After graduating from the Annenberg School of Communication at the University of Southern California, Yvette worked professionally before moving to New York City. There, she studied at the International Center of Photography and assisted Rolling Stone Magazine’s chief photographer, Mark Seliger, at his West Village studio. It was in Seliger’s studio where she deepened her appreciation for the character portrait. Her fine art portrait work is often socio-political in nature. Her solo show, “The Casting Call” exhibited at The Players in Gramercy Park that featured twenty actresses portrayed in stereotypical roles to illuminate the gender and cultural bias that exists in film, television, and theatre. She has shot stills for various studios including the short “Irene and Marie” and the Academy Award-winning “The Artist.” Yvette enjoys working in various mediums of visual art, including short-film cinematography and, recently, oil painting. She considers visual storytelling one of life’s greatest pleasures. She has returned to her native Los Angeles with her husband and two school-aged sons.

Richard D’Elia hails from Long Island, New York. His first job was as a sports producer at News 12 - Long Island. Although he earned a Master’s degree in Communication at NYIT, Richard says he learned most of his practical skills on the job. He won a Foilo Award for his piece on Roosevelt High, a poorly-run high school on Long Island. In October 1996, he joined a fledgling Fox News Channel as a breaking news cameraman and has been there ever since. He has covered many of the major political, sports, natural disasters, and world events of the past quarter century. Some coverage has included: Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy, the years-long aftermath of 9/11, five Presidential election cycles, six World Series, five Super Bowls, U.S. Space Shuttle launches, Brexit in the United Kingdom, Papal visits, the Migrant Caravan throughout Mexico to the U.S. Border, and the yearly California Wildfires. His camera has traveled far and wide: from Alaska to Rome, to each state in the U.S., and the little towns in between. Although he has shot interviews with many lauded filmmakers, newsmakers, heads of state, politicians, and U.S. Presidents, Richard is most impressed by the regular person who is pleasant and can speak on camera without getting nervous. He is an ardent Yankee fan and never tires of watching the films of Akira Kurosawa or listening to the music of Kurt Cobain. He is now living in Rancho Palos Verdes with his family and is grateful to no longer have to take the Subway to work or cover a New York Fashion Week ever again. His advice to students who want to work as news journalists: become effective communicators, arrive early, wear comfortable shoes, and remember that the shade is your friend.
