The UFT Painting Class
began in 2010 at the Monmouth County Library. We meet for 16 sessions a year,
divided into 8 sessions per semester, for a 2-hours.
Linda Gilbert is the
instructor for this class. We have had six major exhibits as a class prior to
this current one. We exhibited in 2012 and 2017 at the Manalapan Branch of the
Monmouth County Library, and had three exclusive showings at the Gourgaud
Gallery in Cranbury, New Jersey. We also participated in Open Call at the
Gourgaud Gallery. Several of our students sold paintings at these showings.
The class is presented with
various topics, styles and instruction appropriate to their paintings. A
general theme is given for the paintings, resulting in various interpretations
and styles. At times, we have varied subject matter at each session. The medium
taught is Acrylic.
Some students never
painted before they came into this group. The progress is extraordinary. The
students have truly developed their talents, finding their niche of style.
The United Federation of
Teachers runs a retirees program for retired NYC teachers and their spouses.
Today over 60,000 retired teachers are members and have the fortune of taking
classes at the numerous learning centers located in each of the five boroughs
of New York, and outreach programs in New Jersey, Westchester, Long Island,
Florida, Arizona and several other states in the country. There are also
outreach centers in a few foreign countries.
