February 19, 26, March 5, 12 - Intensive Study 4-day Monotype Printing Workshop with Armando Rodriguez - Also known as the most painterly method among the printmaking techniques, monprints and monotypes are essentially printed paintings. The characteristic of this method is that no two prints are alike; although images can be similar, editioning is not possible. The appeal of monotype lies in the unique translucency that creates a quality of light very different from a painting on paper or a print, and the beauty of this media is also its spontaneity and its combination of printmaking, painting, and drawing mediums. $190 for members. Contact Art League Houston for more information, (713) 523-9530 or .mary@artleaguehouston.org

February 18 - Spring Class Registration Opens.

Despite its subject matter, the film is still included as one of the 100 greatest classic American Films by the American Film Institute.
